Great story SC. However, that series on AHC still propagates alot of OC myths such as Siegal naming the Flamingo after Virginia Hill. So, it's a challenge to trust their "facts".
Yes. The partially completed hotel was already named Flamingo when Bugsy Siegel bought it from Billy Wilkerson, a degenerate gambler whose debts left him without the means to finish it.
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.
