Palm trees frame the iconic blue-and-white mass of the original Flamingo Hotel in this lush early chrome view, guests lounging beneath yellow and green umbrellas beside the Olympic-sized pool that made Vegas's first true luxury resort a Hollywood legend — this is Bugsy Siegel's dream made postcard, captured just a few years after the Flamingo's scandalous 1946 opening. Postmarked Las Vegas, April 23, 1950, this card carries one of the most delightful messages in any Nevada postcard collection: a sender named Hazel dashes off thrilling news to her friend Marie in Indianapolis — "Want to know a secret? I got married at 10 A.M. today!" — making this a rare same-day wedding announcement postcard from one of gambling's most mythologized addresses.
