Yes, they do have genuine pink flamingos at the Flamingo Hotel. The gardens are at the back of the hotel by the swimming pools. They also have a couple patio areas where you can sit outside with a nice beverage to relax and enjoy the gardens. It is much more peaceful and quiet there. Nice place to take a break from the busy casino or strip. Nice to walk acircular in the shade from the palm trees on the hot summer days. There are other types of birds to watch,and the koi fish swimming in the water. Doing the afternoon they also have a parrot show, which you can get your photo taken with. Or visit the statue of the infamous Bugsy Siegel and the the plaque about him starting the hotel. So if you need a place away from everything, halt here for a nice relaxing break!!!
