First, there is absolutely no way Ben Siegel would have ever printed anything with "Bugsy" in it, on it or around it. I not even sure I have ever seen ANY advertising for the Flamingo with Ben's picture attached to it. He only had 7 months there before the boys retired him.
The "Silo" has the locals called the Champagne Tower wasn't even built until Benny was long gone. I think Gus Greenbaum was in charge when it was built.
Interesting plate, but not an original piece from the Grand Opening in 1946. Sorry.
