Guess where we saw this?

The wildlife area at the Flamingo...
It amazed us that they had such beautiful
gardens in these Hotel~Casino's

Do we look like we belong together?
You better say,"YES"
We took a picture of another couple and
they returned the favor and took
a picture of us!

This was a tribute to the Gangster
"Bugsy Seigel"
He built this casino in 1946
had all kinds of tunnels for escape
The Flamingo has quite a colorful history!
