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:
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The world,—this shadow of the soul, or other me, lies wide around. Its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. I run eagerly into this resounding tumult. I grasp the hands of those next to me, and take my place in the ring to suffer and to work, taught by an instinct, that so shall the dumb abyss be vocal with speech.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
