Flamingo Hotel - Bugsy Siegel ghost reports

The Flamingo Las Vegas was developed by mobster Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel, who was shot and killed in Los Angeles in 1947; the hotel that bears his nickname opened on the Las Vegas Strip at the site. Over decades, guests and employees have reported occasional sightings and unexplained phenomena attributed in local lore to Siegel and to early Flamingo-era figures. These reports have been covered in travel and local media, but they remain anecdotal and are disputed. The Flamingo continues to promote its history while the alleged hauntings are treated as folklore by many historians.
