The hotel was the third resort to open on the Strip and remains the oldest resort on the Strip in operation today, and it has been since 2007 with the closure and demolition of The New Frontier.
Staying true to its theme and name, the hotel includes a garden courtyard which serves as a wildlife habitat for flamingos. The architectural theme is reminiscent of the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne style of Miami and South Beach. The property includes a 72,299-square-foot (6,716.8 m 2) casino along with 3,460 hotel rooms. It is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment.
