Oh man. I'm sorry to hear that, but mostly for sentimental reasons cause I stayed there often. I just stayed there last year when I met a couple friends there. All the old casino/hotels are going. frown Seeing all the modern hotels going up on the strip, I can understand why it's being destroyed but it is kind of sad. I really think however, they should keep The Flamingo. That one is so historic and if I'm not mistaken the first casino in Vegas. Then again, I suppose they will always keep the name but perhaps modernize it more.
