Flamingo Hilton Names Ad Agency: Flamingo Hilton...

Flamingo Hilton Names Ad Agency: Flamingo Hilton hotels, which operates three casino hotels in Nevada, has named the Los Angeles office of ad firm McCann-Erickson as its agency. Although neither the hotel chain nor its agency would reveal the size of the business, some estimate the account could approach $5 million. “We’ve never even had a crack at the gaming industry before,” said John Thompson, senior vice president at McCann. “So this is a big deal for us.” Hilton is considering expanding the Flamingo brand into other states. McCann has been the agency for the parent company--Hilton Hotel Corp.--since 1967.
