Across the tracks from Cliffhanger’s is the Flamingo Motel. Built in the late 50s on the site of the original Oasis Palms Hotel and Hot Springs Resort, the Flamingo Motel offered the best views of downtown Oasis Palms.
The pool was heated in the winter and was fed from the natural hot spring next to the train station. The water was piped in through the caves and re-heated with a coal-fired furnace below the pool. Room #3 on the first floor next to the pool had a trap door in the bathroom that led to a staircase to the furnace and Barco Distillery in the cave below.
