      But Herb Jeffries is still HOT...at 94! And he can still sing the heck out of Flamingo!

      Ok...so I guess I don't know the answer to that trivia question. I tried!

          Yes! The original Flamingo was where Restaurant Row is today. It's original name was Olympic Grill. What inspired them to change it?

            Flamingo's was named for the hotel in Vegas. They bought a car in Detroit and drove it to LA to be shipped here. They stopped in Vegas and liked the sign of the Flamingo hotel. It inspired them to change the name of the restaurant they recently bought.

            The original name was Olympic Grill, on Ala Moana Blvd, where Restaurant Row is now.
