Compiled by Debora Vrana, Times correspondent
George Hyman Construction Co. in Irvine has won a $70-million contract to expand the Las Vegas Flamingo Hilton, a famous casino hotel built by gangster Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel in 1946.
Workers in Hyman Construction’s Irvine office will manage the 600,000-square-foot expansion, which is to include a 28-story tower with 600 rooms. The tower will connect to the existing hotel and encircle a large courtyard with pools, flamingo ponds and a wedding pavilion overlooking an 18-foot waterfall.
The company has also won a $30-million contract from Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. for a new 340,000-square-foot time-share facility next to the Flamingo Hilton in Las Vegas.
