Formerly known as the Flamingo, it was originally designed to be Florida’s first Casino Resort Hotel. Construction of the magnificent 25 Story, eleven acre resort was completed in 1987. Unfortunately, when a South Florida Gambling Bill didn’t pass, plans for the casino were shelved and the project became less feasible. At the time, the construction costs for the project’s extravagant casino hotel design, including floor to ceiling windows throughout and expansive amenities could not be supported by condominium sales or apartment rental income.
