The Flamingo historyÂ
Havana 1957 is celebrating one vibrant year at the legendary Flamingo Las Vegas, the resort that helped define the modern Strip when it first opened its doors in 1946. Long known for its lush gardens, classic Vegas glamour, and tropical flair, the Flamingo provides the perfect backdrop for a concept inspired by old Havana, live Latin rhythms, and Caribbean warmth.
365 days of rhythm, flavor, and “Sabor Cubano” at the heart of the Strip.
In just one year, Havana 1957 Flamingo has evolved from âthe new Cuban spot in townâ to a must-visit destination for guests looking for bold flavors, mojitos, and a full-on tropical Latin experience. Set in the heart of the casino level, the restaurant offers ample seating for couples, families, and big groups, making it ideal for dinner-and-a-show nights, celebrations, and group gatherings.

What truly sets this location apart is that itâs more than just dinner, itâs an experience. Reservations are not a must-have but recommended for the bests seats for the show on the weekends. Guests can enjoy a free live dinner show, turning any evening into a mini Havana getaway with music, energy, and Caribbean-style fun right on the Las Vegas Strip.
