Boulder City residents hoping to see a long-abandoned property on Nevada Way brought back to life were dealt a blow last week when a contract for the sale of the Flamingo Inn Motel fell through just 24 hours before the sale was due to close.
For decades, the odd-shaped building at the corner of Nevada Way and Arizona Street was the place in town to buy one’s mom flowers on Mother’s Day, a bouquet for one’s wedding or a corsage for a prom date.
Clean, Green Boulder City is now a little less green, but according to officials from the Bureau of Reclamation, it’s for a good cause, saving more than two million gallons of water a year.
