The New Margaritaville Casino at The Flamingo Las Vegas

We have new photos of the Margaritaville Casino in the Flamingo Las Vegas as it opened for the first time at noon on Saturday, October 1, 2011.  The staff opened the doors to a crowd of people who had been waiting in line (Pictured above: Margaritaville Casino dealer Peter welcomes you to a game of Three Card Poker – Photo: © Erik Kabik/ RETNA/ www.erikkabik.com.). 

The 22 gaming tables and 220 slot machines quickly filled as guests explored the space, discovering thoughtful design touches inspired by the lyrics of Jimmy Buffett songs.

The official grand opening of Margaritaville Casino will take place on October 14. On that date, Margaritaville will attempt to break the current World Record for the largest margarita ever made as verified by Guinness World Records. After six months of planning, the mixing of the colossal 8,500 gallon beverage, appropriately named “Lucky Rita”, will begin on October 11, 2011. It will take over 300 man hours working around the clock to mix the concoction, concluding with the public “Topping Off” ceremony on October 14, 2011. Margaritaville will also host live feed of Lucky Rita starting on October 7 at www.margaritaville.com/LuckyRita.
