[edit] History
The hotel opened in 1990 as the Flamingo Hilton.
On November 29, 2005 Harrah's Entertainment announced plans to sell the Flamingo Laughlin location to American Real Estate Partners. The $170 million sale closed on May 19, 2006 and included the sale of the 7.7 acre site (Traymore site) in Atlantic City to AREP Boardwalk Properties LLC. Plans call for the property to be renamed the Aquarius within 6 months. The Flamingo Laughlin became the Aquarius in October 2006.
