Originally posted by Don Cardi: As for Wilkerson naming his hotel/casino The Flamingo, well I've done many searches about that and no stories that I've read ever seem to corroborate each other on that matter.
BTW, I just ordered the book "The Man Who Invented Las Vegas." by W.R. Wilkerson III.
Don Cardi  I believe I read about Wilkerson naming it the Flamingo in Robert Lacey's bio of Lansky. His chapter on Siegel is worth more than Jennings' entire book, IMO. Wilkerson's son didn't have many good things to say about his father in an interview published about ten years ago. He was very frank about his father's degenerate gaming habits.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
