The Flamingo Hotel opens with a dome sailors could see from the sea
1921
Miami Beach, Florida
Carl Fisher opened his eleven storey, two hundred room hotel on Biscayne Bay on New Year's Day 1921, the first luxury resort on ground that had been mangrove a few years earlier. A revolving lit dome on the roof was advertised as visible far out at sea. The Flamingo anchored the land boom that followed and was pulled down in the 1950s for an apartment complex.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
