HistoryThe hotel was built by pioneering Miami Beach developer Carl G. Fisher in 1920,[2] designed by Price and McLanahan, and opened in 1921. An adjoining golf course was designed by Captain H.C. Tippet. Fisher was determined to avoid the ocean-side beaches where his development partner John S. Collins had established a casino. He saw the smooth waters of Biscayne Bay as the perfect place for a boat racing spectacle, as an attraction for wealthy and refined tourists.[3] The automobile racing promoter established the Biscayne Bay Speed Boat Regattas near Belle Isle as a publicity draw for his large new hotel. He would continue to stoke the exotic vacation destination image that drove the land boom in the area with stunts like his publicity photos with his elephant Rosie.{{fact|date=July 2018}} The Flamingo site overlooks Flagler Monument Island in Biscayne Bay. In 1935, despite a reservation by the New York Giants baseball team, Jewish players Phil Weintraub and Harry Danning were refused entry to the hotel, which had a "No Jews" policy. However, the hotel backed down and the Jewish players were allowed to stay, when Giants manager Bill Terry threatened that he would remove the whole team to another hotel if his Jewish ballplayers were not allowed in.[4][5][6] References1. ^Flamingo Hotel, Miami Beach, database entry 2. ^Miami Beach Historical Events Timeline 3. ^Woggles and Cheese Holes, The History of Miami Beach's Hotels 4. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=qETFBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA146&dq=Phil+Weintraub+baseball+hotel+bill+terry&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiK4sa2ta7aAhXJuxQKHcuaCzoQ6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=Phil%20Weintraub%20baseball%20hotel%20bill%20terry&f=false Jews and Baseball: Volume 1, Entering the American Mainstream, 1871–1948 - Burton A.
