Facilities and Attractions
The headline show at the Flamingo features brother-sister musical duo Donny and Marie Osmond. Their show premiered in September 2008, and has been extended until October 2012.
Previous headliners include Gladys Knight and Toni Braxton. Braxton's show ran from August 2006 to April 2008, when it closed due to Braxton's health problems.
Other shows residing at the hotel are comedian George Wallace, comedian Vinnie Favorito, magician Nathan Burton, and X Burlesque.
The garden courtyard houses a wildlife habitat featuring flamingos and other birds. It was the home of penguins, but they have since been moved to the Dallas Zoo.
Extending the hotel's tropical theme, a Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant and gift shop was opened in December 2003. An adjacent Margaritaville "minicasino" is scheduled to open in October 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words facilities and/or attractions:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Fantasy love is much better than reality love. Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.”
—Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
