While the crime was never solved, it’s assumed by many that his mob associates, unhappy with the Flamingo’s financial performance, were behind the hit. Siegel, of course, was responsible for originally bringing Flamingo to life, and later met an untimely demise.īugsy was murdered in his girlfriend Virginia Hill’s home in 1947, shortly after the Flamingo opened. The Count Room is an extension of a steakhouse named after infamous mobsters Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky, so it makes sense that Siegel’s portrait is the first you see when entering the hallway on the other side of the green door.
Once inside the green door, you’ll follow a winding pathway past pictures of mobsters and mock wooden barrels, setting the tone for what to expect inside. You’ll know you’re in the right place as it’s clearly labeled “The Count Room” both above and to the left of the door, although there’s no mention of what The Count Room is. You’re looking for the green door pictured below. The door to the speakeasy is located on the right side of the food court’s entrance. Once you enter Flamingo, make your way to the fast-casual food court (with options like Bonanno’s Pizza, Pan Asian Express, LA Subs, and Johnny Rockets) located just off the casino floor as you make your way toward the rear of the property.
