Las Vegas Flamingo - posted on 01/17/2006
The room was large and comfortable. All of the necessary amenities were available. The location on the strip was great. I would stay there again
Perfect location - posted on 01/16/2006
THe rooms were very large and we had a beautiful view of Cesars and Bellagio. We found the bed to be very comfortable. There really isn't much choice for quick meals, but there are plenty of things close by. Perfect for those not planning on spending much time in the hotel.
Good stay - posted on 11/01/2005
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Flamingo but were disappointed with the room service. Each time we called we were told a different amount would be charged to our room with regard to the room service delivery fee. No-one could tell us the same as the last person and we were usually charged a double delivery fee. It was a small disappointment in an overall lovely experience.
Just Fine - posted on 01/17/2006
The Flamingo Las Vegas is just fine. It isn't the best or the worst. The room was nice with the exception that the carpet was very dirty. The bed was comfortable. There was no coffee pot nor refrigerator... bummer. We upgraded to a "room with a view" for another $20/day. We enjoyed watching the Bellagio fountain and mountains in the morning were beautiful. The Buffet resaurant, with the waterfalls, waterfowl and fish views was very nice/tranquil. Food acceptable.
great hotel - posted on 01/31/2006

Very Satisfied - posted on 01/30/2006
We stayed here for 4 days. The rooms were large and roomy. Had no problems, the oldness of the hotel makes you think of the old Vegas. Loved it
fair - posted on 01/25/2006
It was an ok hotel with an ok price, not really a big savings because the room was one of the smallest ones I have ever had at $x a night.
Convenient location - posted on 01/19/2006
If you want reasonable accomodations on the Las Vegas strip, consider the Flamingo. The location is close to ideal with the Bellagio and Caesar's Place across the street, the Aladin, Paris and Venetian short walks on the same side. This means shopping is a short walk whether you want upscale or moderate, major performance venues are 5-10 minute walks (e.g. "O" and Celine Dion). The hotel is moderate in price and quality with all the Vegas musts: casino and buffet. Staff was very helpful.
Worst Desk Staff and Check-In on the Strip - posted on 01/17/2006
I've stayed here several times, due to the low cost and convenient location. Check-in this last time took 1 1/2 hours at 11pm on a Wednesday night...and desk staff didn't so much as apologize. Stay here for the value, but you really get what you pay for: a cheap place to sleep.
Room Changer - posted on 10/20/2005
Had to change rooms - very inconvenient. No help from staff to get us moved - messed up itinerary. will not go back. will not bring my group their!
Not Happy with the Flamingo! - posted on 10/19/2005
Staff was unaccomodating when dealing with a reservation/room issue that was admittedly their fault. You couldn't pay me to stay here again!!
Avoid The Flamingo!! - posted on 10/11/2005
The noise from Pure across the street keeps you up ALL NIGHT!! Comps . Place is dirty. Rooms smell. Casino has no atmosphere. Service. All in all...Avoid. The only thing ok is the pool and the location. STAY ELSEWHERE!!!!
Awesome Hotel - posted on 10/05/2005
My mom and I stayed at the Flamingo while in Vegas. The staff was helpful and very nice, the casino paid well and lots to choose from. Awesome pool, good food; though the prices of food and drinks were a little high. The grounds were overall the highlight of the Flamingo (as I am getting married at the Flamingo). I will always stay here when I come to Vegas and you should too.
A good deal for the price - posted on 10/04/2005
My husband & I got married in Vegas and stayed at the Flamingo. We had an awesome view of the Bellagio fountains from our hotel room and the room itself was clean and comfy. The service is excellent and the casino is highly entertaining. The only problem we had with this hotel was the food. The buffet was awful. The choices were sparse and bland. The location cant be beat, its minutes from everything in both directions. I would recommend the Flamingo to any traveler going to Vegas for the first time.
That smell - posted on 10/02/2005
It has a great location (right across from Ceaser's Forum Shops). And the smell of the hotel is amazing. Also Margaritaville is alot of fun and has great nachoes.
Overall Good - posted on 08/12/2005
I stay here all the time. Great Location. GREAT Pool. Comp program sucks. You lose hundreds and just get a few bucks back on your comp card? Nonetheless, I always come back to the Flamingo. They give me a great VIP rate and you cant beat the location and the Pool.
Thirsty - posted on 08/03/2005
It was my first trip to Las Vegas, even that it was for my work. I had a nice stay in the flamingo hotel, but when you arrive from a hard day working there is nothing beter than to ley down a while whit a cool beer on the bed if there is no sofa. for the rest it was a very nice expirience for me I will return " also to work" .
GOOD FUN - posted on 07/31/2005
CHECK IN WAS GOOD, POOL AND GARDEN AREA WERE GREAT, BUFFET WAS GOOD, ROOM WAS NICE, PEOPLE WERE FRIENDLY.SPORTS BOOK WAS FUN, CHECK OUT WAS FAST..
My Comment - posted on 07/26/2004
I really had a great time in your hotel and the Conrad Steahouse was excellent. I will be back for sure. Thank you!
Perfect location! - posted on 05/31/2007
The hotel is located in the middle of everything! It's not the nicest hotel but is for sure the perfect spot on the strip. The pool area was also awesome- One 21+ pool was "European" style so it took a bit to get used to. :) All in all a great hotel!
Wonderful Location - posted on 05/21/2007
I had a wonderful stay at the Flamingo. It's in a great location (right across from Caesar's and next to O'Sheas) and really in the middle of the strip. The views were great from either side of the hotel (pool or strip). The bathrooms were a bit dated but overall the room was very clean. I strongly recommend using the airport check-in as the check-in lines at the hotel are usually long. Great stay for the money.
Love the Flamingo - posted on 05/20/2007
We stay here everytime. Some rooms we have had are better then others. The service & security is the best. We have recommanded the Flamingo to everyone. We will always stay here, it has become our second home.
The Flamingo does not stack up. - posted on 05/14/2007
We traveled to Vegas in May, and stayed at the Flamingo. The room was small and unimpressive. And good luck finding a chair at the pool! Better get there at 8 A.M. Good variety of food and shows, but the buffet is not the best. Margaritaville was fun. The courtyard is beautiful.
My night in hell - posted on 05/05/2007
We checked in late to this hotel at the start of a much anticipated vacation. We were told there was only 1 non-smoking room left so we had to either take it or leave it and the rate we were quoted on their website was $100 less than what we were charged. When we saw the room we were upset. The room was dirty, there were cigarette burns on the carpet, and there wasn't even a closet just hooks on the wall. Needless to say we checked out as soon as possible and went to a better hotel.
dissapointing - posted on 05/03/2007
Check in took way too long and the staff acted rather indifferent. The pool area was extremely crowded and it was difficult to find a place in the sun. The concierge service was a joke-nothing more than a hard sell act. We will never return to the Flamingo.
Enjoyable travel experience - posted on 04/26/2007
Our trip to the Flamingo was very pleasurable. The front desk staff were very helpful upon check in. You MUST request a view of the strip to fully enjoy the Flamingo. The room was sub par however the view totally compensated it's shortcoming. The gambling table minimums were too high for us novice gamblers however right next door is a casino named O'sheas that had low minimums and tons of excitement all the way to early morning sunrise. You can use your players card there b/c it is also a Harrah's casino.
Flamingo Location Great - posted on 04/26/2007
The Flamingo is in a great location; right in the middle of the Strip. Directly across from Caesars and next to Harrahs (outdoor Carneaval bar w/great entertainment.) Pool looked great but it was too chilly to use it. Ticket show people in lobby were a bit annoying. Flamingo was a great experience for a great price.
Great First Visit - posted on 04/19/2007
Great Service, Beds Comfy, Go Room worth it, Location top notch, good bang for the dollar, will stay again, recommend the Go Rooms to everyone.
Great experience - posted on 04/17/2007
Was treated to an upgraded room. Mod in style and great athestics. Loved the large bathroom with the TV.
Good experience - posted on 04/15/2007
Checked in at the airport ( quick and easy) Room we stayed in on the 6th floor was fine. Margarita restaurant had good food for reasonable prices The staff pushing the time-sharing stuff was very annoying and had to go thru that every day! I'd come back though.
No Penquins :( - posted on 04/04/2007
The Flamingo is in a fabulous location. We were in walking distance of many other casinos and fun things to do in Vegas (Bellagio Fountains, shopping at Caesar's Palace, the "Eiffel Tower" at Paris, etc.). My only disappointment was that there are no longer Penquins at the Flamingo! And the pool was very crowded, but we went in March, and some of the pools were not open yet. Overall, staying at the Flamingo was a great experience for a great price.
Great Time - posted on 04/02/2007
Airport check-in was great. Did not have to wait in long line at hotel. Showers need work-dirty. Food over-priced and just OK. Get rid of people trying to give you "free tickets"-they are annoying.
The Wedding - posted on 03/30/2007
My daughter was married in the Gazebo/Garden. The staff are excellent.Hotel needs some upgrades.But it is there staff that make it the best.
march break - posted on 03/30/2007
room was quite big & clean patio cafe /area was very dirty with old furniture/ pools closed early 4pm/good location/nice staff /beautiful grounds...
Lower the FoodAlmost great value - posted on 03/29/2007
Room was very nice but carpet filthy. Moved a table and a white mark was in the carpet from the table not being moved. No pillow covers on pillows? what? Coke machines don't work. did not take dollar bills (went to floors above and below also no luck) Food prices astronomical. Ate out of the hotel for most meals. NO FOX CABLE. They purposely do that. Bad pr. Great location and would be a great place if they would just not try to screw us on the meals. Also, never got any free drinks while playing the slots. Never saw a waitress. Went down to Bill's and had a better time.
PLeasantly Surprised - posted on 03/28/2007
After 3 room changes management stepped up and upgraded to very nice room. Staff was always very nice. House keeping is on the slow side. Casino was a blast, out of all the casinos on the strip had the most fun at Flamingo, due to exceptionally helpful dealers.
Perfect spot - posted on 03/27/2007
The hotel was well worth the price. It is in a great location and the room was above average. I would definitely stay here again
Winter getaway - posted on 03/21/2007
Everything went as we had planned except for the airline departure to Chicago. This delay was due to the weather conditions in Chicago.
Love the Flamingo! - posted on 03/20/2007
Best location on the strip, best bargain for the price. Have also stayed at TI and Monte Carlo - will go back to the Flamingo whenever I can. Not too big, great location, decent restaurants. Upgraded to a "Go" room and had beautiful view of Bellagio fountains. Room was clean, extra comfy bed.
WORTH MY DOLLAR - posted on 03/15/2007
FLAMINGO GO ROOM WAS EVERYTHING AND MORE...42 INCH TV..TV IN BATHROOM MIRROR...BANGIN BED...NICE SHOWER...COMFY CHAISE...RECOMMEND HIGHLY =]
Great Time at Flamingo - posted on 03/13/2007
We checked into the hotel at the airport (no lines) and decided at the last minute to upgrade to the "GO" room. I am so glad we did!!! Our room was FANTASTIC! The first room we were in had a broken air conditioner so the hotel staff moved us in the middle of the night to a new room but they comped the upgrade fee and the bell hop was so helpful! These things happen, right? I highly recommend the new rooms to anyone staying at the Flamingo. The showers are AWESOME-the beds are OH SO comfortable-and the lightly is phenomenal! What can I say-I was VERY impressed! Great job Flamingo!
Hotel needs an upgrade - posted on 03/07/2007
Our first room was extremely small, and had an even smaller bathroom. It was also riddled with construction noise above, which started at 7AM. We were moved to an "executive suite" which was slightly larger, but the elevators were located completely across the hotel. Very inconvenient to with our bags, as it required us to carry them through the casino, and up a few small flights of stairs. Overall, unhappy with everything but the location on the strip.
disappointed - posted on 03/06/2007
Pre check-in at airport a farce, arrived at 9:00am still didn't get our rooms until late afternoon 4:30.Suposed to have 1 pool open heated to 85 degrees, nothing open. Could tell halways were not vacumed often, rooms were dirty, sinks were never cleaned during our whole stay, mirrors had writing on them,had to clean our own slimey windows. No towels one day. Buffet was not good but other 2 resaurants were good. Casino staff was very friendly and helpful. Good location but will pay the extra to stay at a nice hotel next time.
Great Trip - posted on 03/05/2007
Great room, comfy beds. Skip the Tropical Breeze cafe-over priced, mediocre food, and lousy service. Our server left right after taking our order and my friend did not eceive her food at all. Go for the buffet instead- awesome choices. Hotel in the middle of the strip-close to EVERYTHING!!! We stayed on the 25th floor and the view was AWESOME! Would definitely go back!!!
Better than I Expected - posted on 02/28/2007
I thought the hotel would be average but actully it was fair above average.The location is the best on the entire strip. It's not too far north or South.Right a across the street from Belligio and Ceasars, it gets no better. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. Check in and out was a breeze.I have made this hotel my permanent Vegas spot and will be returning real soon.
impressed stay - posted on 02/28/2007
stayed a week. wonderful experience.only small problem with toilet,taken care of promptly!waitresses attentive mostly.room view of caesars hotel.overall great time.great for the price,service and location.will stay again.
Request newer tower - posted on 02/27/2007
We love the Flamingo and stay there whenever possible. Location, Location, Location!! Can't beat it. Great pool, great slots. Next time, I'll request a newer tower to stay in, we were in the oldest and the rooms are starting to show their wear. But still love it!
Right on the Strip - posted on 02/22/2007
The Flamingo was right on the Las Vegas strip. It was a great location if you are walking around by foot. We had some problems with the room being ready on time but it was one of the busiest weekend in Vegas ever.
IT WAS FUN! - posted on 02/21/2007
Our 12 day stay was great. Everything asked for was granted. Only suggestion is mini fridge in room (so I could store insulin). Morning buffet is terrific and room service was wonderful. Room view of Belligio fountains was breathtaking! It was FUN!!!
Nice Place Close to Everything? - posted on 02/20/2007
From the Strip-view room upgrade to the easy checkout, the Flamingo was the best place I've ever stayed in Vegas! Quick elevators, friendly staff, outstanding location...plus pretty cheap!
great central location!!! - posted on 02/19/2007
We stayed here last year for our 5th wedding anniversary...and loved every minute of it! We spent much needed time lounging by the pool - and when we wanted to go somewhere, we are smack in the middle of everything - and the monorail is out back to boot!!!! Highly recommend it if you want to be in the middle of everything and get a large room for a good price!!! We will be back for sure!
Great location - posted on 02/18/2007
Had a great room with a view of the Strip. No hassle check in and out. Not impressed with the seafood buffet.
Great for Non Gamers - posted on 02/14/2007
This was our 3rd trip to Vegas and we loved this hotel. The size was nice, you could find your way around. They had lots of outdoor areas that you could sit and have drinks at night. Most hotels close the outside after 8 pm. Not elegant, but great price for what you get! Great location. We will stay there again.
Never Again - posted on 02/06/2007
Service was lousy, complaints ignored, promises not kept, food mediocre.
okay - posted on 01/31/2007
I chose to stay at the Flamingo thinking it would be on par with some of the other 3-4 star hotels, but really its more like a fancy Best Western. I will stay elsewhere next time.
Pleasant stay - posted on 01/24/2007
We were impressed with the comfort of the beds and the pillows.
Nice cheap-ish stay for party groups - posted on 01/17/2007
Was upgraded to an exec-level room. Was a lot of space and everything was clean. Beds were soft and comfortable. A/C worked well. TV selection was average. Internet available $12/day. Coffee machine was well stocked. Bathroom was small but clean and stocked. Housekeeping did a great job on room. View was amazing with huge window overlooking Caesar's Palace and Bellagio. Check out O'Sheas casino next door - $1 domestic, $2 imports 2am-8pm. Margaritaville has awesome food and atmosphere. Great price and fun experience for my roommates and I. Will definitely stay there again!
Pink - posted on 01/12/2007
The new remodeled rooms are very bright. Loved the new showers with the tv in the mirror. The electric drapes are too cool and the bed is very comfortable. Flat screen tv in HD with cd/dvd player very cool. Very modern looking but a bit on the brite side. Only thing that I could possibly complain about is the a/c going on and off all night long. Also, we miss the penguins outside!
Flamingo -- Las Vegas - posted on 01/05/2007
The Flamingo was average size (but 7th largest in world). Not overpowering. All staff friendly and hospitable. Convenient location on the Strip -- go go north or south without feeling you're too removed from everything.
Vegas - posted on 01/03/2007
I was a little worried after booking and then reading the reviews. The hotel was great!! The hallways had a stale smell but other than that it was great. The only thing I could think that they need to improve is the security.
Great Place to Stay! - posted on 01/02/2007
The Flamingo's location on the Strip is awesome! Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville is also an excellent feature. Rooms with a view of the strip are great, however you can hear the music from a nearby nightclub that will go on until 4:00 am. We picked this hotel based on the pictures of the swimming pool; it was AWESOME! Well worth it.
I LOVED IT! - posted on 01/02/2007
I HAVE NEVER SLEPT SO GOOD IN MY LIFE! THE BED WAS SUPER SOFT AND COMFY! THE HOTEL STAFF WAS SO FRIENDLY AND THE PLACE WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL. WE HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF CEASAR'S PALACE AND THE MOUNTAINS......JUST ABSOLUTELY BREATH-TAKING! I WILL DEFINITELY RETURN SOON!
Flamingo - posted on 12/31/2006
the Flamingo hotel exceeded my expectations. some of the reviews i had read did not sound good...the room was clean and well maintained, the room service was prompt and courteious.
OK if you're deaf - posted on 12/29/2006
My wife and I became nervous when we saw a bloody stain on the carpet; but then the housekeeping staff said it was cough syrup - that made me more nervous.
1st time in Las Vegas - posted on 12/23/2006
This hotel was great, no problems...fast check-in at the airport and straight to room!!! The hallways could use some spicing up but overall it was great. I would recomend this hotel to anyone!!
Great Place for Best Price - posted on 12/22/2006
The Flamingo is exactly what you want when you go to Vegas... The price is the most affordable on the strip and still provides the quality and amenities you demand... the hotel is very nice, very clean... the Casino is one of the better ones on the strip... I will basically stay at no other place than the Flamingo!
Good Location - posted on 12/11/2006
The room needed to be updated. The carpet was worn and the bedspreads looked shabby. The room was clean though. The location can't be any better. It is right in the middle of the Strip and there is a Duece stop in front.
Good Time - posted on 12/07/2006
Hotel Is fine, the atmosphere is great for couples and seniors. We just wished the bathrooms were a little bigger. Food is average priced for Vegas and more than decent. Location is perfect for the strip. George Wallace is a must see!
cleaning problems - posted on 12/05/2006
When I first checked into the hotel the bathroom had dirty towels and used soap in the soap tray. The next day it took them until 6 pm to clean the room. My friend in another room said they opened their door at 9pm and they were just getting their room cleaned after being out all day. It was just bad management.
Needs Improvement: cleaning room
Location, Location - posted on 12/05/2006
Location is everything and this place has it. Staying at the Flamingo means you are in the heart of the strip. Views of the Ballagio fountains, views of Ceasars Place, good times Margaritaville, easy walking distance to all of the major properties and more. The rooms are pleasant enough and the new GO rooms have upgraded features that are a pleasant surprise. The Flamingo may not be as sexy as the bigger places but for the location and price it can?t be beat.
Filthy Room - posted on 12/05/2006
Our room was frankly, filthy. Rugs very dirty, bathroom dirty, bedspread snagged. I wouldn't even walk barefoot in our room. We did OK in the casino though. But wouldn't stay here again.
Great Hotel - posted on 12/01/2006
It was my first time to Vegas and I traveled for my birthday with my mom. We had a wonderful time. Best feature is wildlife habitat with flamingos. Our room was a little dated (decor), but was very roomy, comfortable and had great amenities. Would definitely stay there again.
GREAT Room-Great Price-Great Location! - posted on 11/26/2006
We booked this hotel at the last minute due to the fantastic price and location of the hotel. Since this is one of the oldest hotels on the strip, we did not expect much but we were SO wrong. The room was completely redone with plasma HD TV, TV in bath with seperate jetted shower/tub, VERY comfortable beds, electronic curtains, view looking at Bellagio fountains...our new favorite hotel!!

Exelent place to stay. This trip has been the best vacation on my life.
Renovations Needed - posted on 11/25/2006
This was my first visit to Flamingo. The location was convenient, but the shower head was broken. The waitstaff at the cafe were grouchy and forgetful, so I just cancelled the fruit I ordered. The next day we went to Denny's instead. The casino is old and full of smoke. They need to pump in fresh air or ban smoking there. On a more positive note, the beds were comfortable. However, the Flamingo is in need of a much needed renovation!
Friendly Place - posted on 11/22/2006
Love/dislike thing with the pools. Love the layout. The facilities are great but too crowded, perhaps restricting pools to GUESTS ONLY would help. Location is perfect--right in middle of and fun side of strip. Easy stagger back to hotel from funnest karaoke bar in town ("Tequila Joe's"). Most important feature: friendliness of Flamingo staff. They know how to take care of a couple of yokels who need a recharge following long New England winters.
Solid Bang for the Buck - posted on 11/14/2006
Great location in the middle of the Strip, solid value, with solid ammenities and service. It is what it is, an older hotel, not the best of the best. If your a first time visitor looking for a good value & location, Flamingo fits the bill. Only gripe is that they did not have the room types we requested available. Gave us a double bed room, instead of a King, etc. Poker room was very slow in terms of getting into a game. Kept telling me I'd have a 10-15 min. wait & one hour later I'd still be standing there.

The location is in the middle of the Strip across from Ceasers Palace.The Casino is large. The grounds are very nice . There are many nice pool areas to choose from. The restaurants have very good food at reasonabe prices without a long wait time.
vegas trip - posted on 11/13/2006
The Flamingo hotel was a very nice place to stay and I would recommend it to friends. The room was nice and the staff was friendly as well. I enjoyed the casino and the restaurants and would definitely stay there in the future. My stay was very pleasant overall.
dissatified - posted on 11/10/2006
the room that i reserved was not available and the hotel did not give services that the customer needs
The Lee Scollo Review - posted on 11/04/2006
The mirror in my room had torn decals on them. The carpets seemed to be a bit worn. The air inside the hotel needs better filtration. Overall the hotel is below standard for being located at the senter of the strip, but I guess the low price justifies that!
Wedding in Vegas - posted on 10/26/2006
The Flamingo is the place to go if you want to be in the center of the strip but don't want to spend Bellagio money. Rooms are decent, staff was friendly, slots are loose (at least for us), beakfast buffet was good. If you're expecting 4-5 star accomodations this is not for you. But if you want a good place for a great price, this is it! Our wedding at the falls in the pool area was outstanding!!! The casino was always buzzing compared to all the other places we went on the strip.
get what you pay for - posted on 10/23/2006
The rooms are plain. Air conditioner is a little annoying; it goes on every minute or so and stays on for about ten seconds. Non-smoking rooms don't smell like smoke, which is a plus. If you're looking for glamorous Vegas, this isn't it.
In the Middle of Everything! - posted on 10/23/2006
The Flamingo is right next to a great deal of things to do. We only took a cab one evening to go to a show...but that was only for laziness purposes. After the show we walked back. There truly was so much to do right around the Flamingo! Right inside the Flamingo is Jimmy Buffet's Magaritaville restaurant which is a Cheddars, Chili's type restaurant. Then there are two buffet restaurants on 1st level. There is a couple of pastry/breakfast/coffee shops as well for the lighter side of breakfast. The slot machines aren't as tight as some of the others(I was told).
never again!! - posted on 10/23/2006
We have nothing good to say!!! Beware of room ( 622) over looks boiler room!!!! Asked to either change our room or to maybe up grade the room. We were told that to up grade to the same tpye of standerd room that has just been remodeled was $ 50.00 more a night. WHY?? ( MONEY) We had to wait till after 3:00 pm to get anouther room which want much better!!! We visit Vegas alot but we will NEVER stay at this dump again evern if it was free!!!
Great trip - posted on 10/20/2006
My husband and I made our first trip to Vegas to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. It was everything we expected and more! We will definately stay at The Flamingo on our next trip to Vegas.
GREAT EXPERIENCE - posted on 10/10/2006
went with a large group for a conference and have nothing bad to say about hotel; great service, easy to get around in the hotel; wasn't badgered by anyone about time shares; right in the heart of the strip!
Good place to stay in Vegas - posted on 10/10/2006
The Flamingo is an excellent hotel to base your Las Vegas vacation. Centrally located, clean and nicely appointed with a good casino. The restraunts need to be upgraded though
no sun at the pool - posted on 10/04/2006
hotel was nice and friendly and clean, but the pool area was too small with hardly any sun, 95% shade , would not stay there again
POOL PROBLEMS - posted on 09/27/2006
THE POOLS ARE SO CROWDED THAT MY KIDS WOULD NOT USE THEM. NO EFFORT TO KEEP OUT UNREGISTERED GUESTS. TRIED TO GET A LOUNGE CHAIR AT 9AM, THEY WERE ALL OCCUPIED.
Good Clean Location - posted on 09/11/2006
Our room was clean and ready when we arrived at 11AM. Great view of Caesars Palace across the street from our room on the 21st floor. Adult pool was clean, but very crowded. Venturo was a good Italian restaurant and service the entire trip was great. Get a Total Rewards Card and futre stays will be reduced or free. A great place to stay and we will go back.
Flamingo Rooms need improvement - posted on 09/10/2006
We were told we were given a renovated room, completed in 2004. What a joke.....If they call that renovated, they need to find another desinger. We have stayed at the Flamingo several time before and found it very nice. But this time we were not as pleased. Room was just ok and we were very disappointed with the constant badgering we received in the lobby from the vacation and show hawkers. It shows no class. We will probably stay at the Venetian or Paris next time.
Stay for the Location - posted on 09/05/2006
The Flamingo is one of the oldest casino's on the Vegas Strip. However, it's location makes it the best choice for the serious Vegas visitor: Across from Caesar's Forum shops, next to Barbary Coast for cheap table games, and next to O'Shea's and their 18 hour, happy hour ($1 bottle beer). Don't stay here if wanting to stay at a mega casino with lavious amenities. Stay here, save money to spend on shopping, entertainment, and gambling. Room was clean and safe, all we needed in Vegas!

We stayed on the 23rd floor,which had a wonderful view of Vegas at night. Fairly large and comfortable bed. Rooms a little outdated and not cleaned throughly at all. Pool Ok but quite crowded although it seemed you could get a deck chair at all times and also a tendency to see floating beer bottles. Adult pool much nicer and quieter. Flamingo is definately in one of the best spots on the strip it is right opposite the Bellagio and is central. onwards Great express checkout via your TV which saves waiting in long ques to check out.

Great location, great pool, excellent service staff, facilities not too big/overwhelming, great for first Vegas visit. Rooms need coffee makers and fridges, need quick/fast food choices. Casino needs more washrooms. Quite pleased for first visit but likely will not stay there again for other resorts offer more of everything--shopping, brand-name restaurants, better decor. Enjoyed our stay!!

We had a great time. No complaints. I've stayed here before and will come back again.

First time @ Flamingo. Check-in was a breeze since I used the one at the airport. Room was clean, but I had no view (a concrete wall !!! ). Also, some of the staff either didn't know or were too busy to answer questions. Overall for the money and location, Flamingo is great. Oh, by the way, did I mention the pool? It is the best thing about the Flamingo!
Great Stay! - posted on 08/28/2006
My husband and I had a great time at the Flamingo. The pool and the wildlife area was so lush, and we enjoyed Margaritas while wading in the 21 and over pool. The room was clean. All the staff at the hotel, from the people who cleaned the rooms to the room service people, were friendly and helpful. I didn't care for the smell of cigarette smoke in the casino (pretty much everywhere), but that's how it is in Vegas!
Very Surprised - posted on 08/23/2006
I was a little nervous about staying at the Flamingo after staying at some of the larger more extravagant hotels, but my husband and I had a FABULOUS time! The pool and live birds were great! We will be back! You can not beat the price- Don't forget to check out Wayne Newton!!

The Flamingo is a nice hotel for the money. They are very accomodating to your needs, all you have to do is ask.
Laid Back Fun - posted on 08/14/2006
Enjoyed the Flamingo very much. Not what I'd call luxurious but the hotel has lots to offer and we found other guests and staff to be polite and fun. Great location, the pool was well-kept and relaxing. Casino was fun, nice restaurants and bars.Buffet really not bad for the money. Housekeeping was also good (plenty of towels/soap etc.). Beware the time-share sales people. A simple "No thank you" will usually suffice, but some are persistent.
disappointing - posted on 08/14/2006
I was given a suite for one night because they had no reserved standard rooms that I had booked months before. The suite had a nice view, but was outdated ( 1970'ish) and need of repairs (jaccuzi did not work). The room also had a musty odor.
Great Location; poor housekeeping - posted on 08/07/2006
We loved the location in the center of the strip. The swimming pool was awesome but we found there was trash under our beds when we arrived, mildew on the shower tiles and the housekeeping crew did now wipe things down as they should have. The room and the view (23rd floor) were super, however.
Flamingo was OK - posted on 08/06/2006
Flamingo was an okay hotel but the service was GREAT! If you are looking for a cheap hotel in the middle of the strip, the flamingo is that hotel! The pool is AWESOME!
Terrible!!! - posted on 08/05/2006
We stayed at the Flamingo 7/31-8/3 & it was terrible! We stayed there 5 years ago & it was great, but not now! The carpet was filthy & wet in areas where condensation was dripping on it, the bathrooms were also bad, you wouldn't even want to get in the tub! We were on the 8th floor with a pool view, what they didn't tell us is that the bar at the pool plays VERY loud music til midnight & other nights til after 2 a.m.! We could hear it right through the windows making it extremely hard to sleep. We won't be back, there are MANY other places to stay while in Vegas!
Very Fun - posted on 08/05/2006
The Flamingo was great. The staff was very helpful and informative. The pools were crowded but very nice. Drinks were normal for Vegas. The only downside were the time share people who hound you when you get off the elevator. But that's Vegas. Rooms are normal nothing special. A great deal for the central location. I recommend upgrading to a strip view room for 20 dollars a night. You can see the water show at the Bellagio. It's worth it! In front of the window is were my fiance proposed.
Amazing trip - posted on 08/01/2006
Went for the first time with my husband. Had a great time at the pool and looking at the real birds. Our room was big and very clean. Close to everything at the srip.
fun trip - posted on 07/30/2006
the rooms were good size but need better cleaning, the carpet and chairs were badly stained and there was mold in the shower. There was sequins on the floor in the hall when we arrived and they were still there when we left 6 days later.No roomservice menu and it took 3 hours for one to be sent up.
Very good time - posted on 07/27/2006
We just stayed in the Flamingo this week for 3 days we found the hotel to be very nice and clean the casino was also very clean and bright. Its not one of the major up class casino/hotels its very nice though for the money you pay and the time you spend there. The pool is great along with large clean rooms.The hotel view is great also.

We got into our room and it was filthy. Everything needed repairs in our room. Even the countertop in the bathroom was broken off along the top. Terrible! They charge for everything and it is not a fair price.
Luv Vegas Somethin' New Everytime - posted on 07/15/2006
Amazed how GREAT it was. Fabulous view, room was perfect, clean. Service and value spectacular. Buffet is excellent. Pools wonderful-the best part you dont have to walk thru the casino to get to the pool/garden. Staff friendly helpful and attentive. Location convenient to everything. If you want the big mega-resort hotel stay there but if you want old-style vegas this is it and its Not outdated. We'll definately stay here again. Hands down one of the best on the Strip.

THE HOTEL WAS OUTSTANDING, ESPECIALLY THE EMPLOYEES, THERE PORFESSIONALISM AND KINDNESS WAS SECOND TO NONE,

1st trip to Vegas, but not my last! The Flamingo is the perfect spot to be! It's very centrally located that made it possibe to walk to the other casinos and the free shows. The pool was amazing - waitresses @ the pool were terrific! Slots were very generous -waitresses bringing drinks were very attentive! Loved the real flamingos. The buffet was very good, as was hoagies and salads from another stand. Got room service for breakfast -it arrived promptly and was terrific! I didn't want to leave and I definately want to go back. I would stay at the Flamingo again and again.

This was a very nice hotel .. above what was expected, and the price was great. We were exactly where we wanted to be on the Strip. We asked for non smoking rooms, however, we did not get that. Other than that, it was just fabulous.
Great Place to Stay - posted on 07/06/2006
Pool was great! Rooms were standard. Right in the middle of the strip - good location. I would stay here again. Good view, we could see the fountains at Bellagio. Customer service was a little slow, but noticed this everywhere on the strip. Good place to stay especially for the pool!
I want to go back! - posted on 07/06/2006
We have stayed at the Flamingo twice and been thrilled both times. We arrive with a vacation state of mind, don't need deluxe accomodations, just clean and available. Since people are checking in and out at all hours, the rooms are constantly becoming available. We were given an upgrade for the first night when our room wasn't ready. The yogurt parfaits are an incredible lunch; I crave them still. The slots were generous; the shows very good; the check-in people great. The grounds are fantastic with weddings galore. Can't wait to go back to the Flamingo!

The service at the Flamingo was very good. They did well to honor us with a room change because the first room had a long of banging noise from above. The casino area was clean and easy to get to. By far the best thing was the courtyard and pool. We will definitely stay there again!
Mediocre Hotel - posted on 07/05/2006
The hotel was not as clean as it could have been. They ran out of wash cloths so we had to use our dirty ones for two days (2 washcloths for 4 people). Just a very average hoel, nothing special.

We stayed at the Flamingo on June 26th till the 29th, we were sketchy since reading some of the reviews, But we were pleasantly suprised. we had a great time, and the room was very nice, great service, yes the Hotel was older but for the price and location you can not beat it. if you want the best stay at the best, if you just want a great time, the Flamingo works.
my stay - posted on 07/02/2006
. The hotel is average, it is in a good location. My problm with the room was the bathroom, our toilet ran the whole trip which i did not complain about b/c i didnt feel like switching rooms, also the water pressure in the shower sucks I felt like I was still dirty with the trickling water. The pool is the best part but it gets PACKED!!! If you are not up by 8:30am and downstairs you can 4-get about swimming and having a seat. That part was the worse I wanted to sleep in on my trip but if i wanted to lay out I had to be up EARLY!! Other than that it was just average.
Worst Experience - posted on 06/30/2006
We had three rooms, first they gave us smoking room instead of non smoking, the other rooms key did not work, after changing the smoking room, they gave us a room, which I rank the worst room I have had in my life ( I travel a lot and stay at least 45 days in hotel every year). The manager was rude, and gave me an option of that or even a worse room.
excellent hotel - posted on 06/26/2006
The check in time could be improved a little, and the view from my room was not the greatest, but the service was excellent. The room and hotel were very clean, and the food was good and not too expensive. The courtyard was really nice too. I definetly got what I payed for.
Great Location - posted on 06/22/2006
Flamingo is a great location at a great price. The pool was wonderful, waitresses were easy with the drinks, and the rooms were very nice. Not much food-wise in the hotel for a quick snack or lunch at the pool.
GREAT STAY! - posted on 06/21/2006
I was a little nervous about staying there but I was pleasantly surprised. Location was great and the room was clean. I also had a view of the Bellagio fountains. The best price for the location on the strip. I would definitely stay there again. Its not 5 star but who stays in the rooms all day anyway!
The Flamingo, Las Vegas - posted on 06/21/2006
We stayed for 7days/6 nights. The best part was its location - it was in the middle of the Strip, and the active nightlife was within walking distance. However, the room service was OK. Our complimentary Aquifina water bottles stopped after the second day, as did our clean towels and bedsheets. Nonetheless, checking in/out was easy and quick.The pool was awesome.
Good location - posted on 06/21/2006
this was my third visit to Flamingo and we were in the older tower. Small bathrooms, comfy bed, Buffet Pool is the best.

There is a lot of walking and the rooms could be updated w/microwave & coffeemaker and SHOWERS!!!
Flamingo - Still a Great Place - posted on 06/16/2006
I've stayed here 6 times, this was 1st time since not a Hilton. Still very nice. Doesn't take walking forever to get to Pools, etc. "Good company". complaint #1: first hotel I've known to take coffee makers out ! Big Disappointment!!! And a long wait downstairs to pay $3. for your coffee. They said was due to offering Room Service or with $60 upgrade but called Room Srvc, and was "1 hour wait!" other complaint: charged $4.99 for a 6 oz. yogurt at cafe, when I added a "to go" to my breakfast. Pleeezee !!!! But location and views great, Casino floor people nice too.
Not too clean..... - posted on 06/11/2006
We stayed two nights in a room that really needed updating bad. The carpet was very dirty and stained and mildew in the bathtub. It was not well kept. Easy checkout was a plus and was able to do it over the TV. Would not recommend this one!!
OK if you get a Bellagio & Ceasers view - posted on 06/07/2006
This was not the first time we had been here. A/C was messed up. Moved us to a smwller room but thank god for the view. Other than that its ok. Love the central location to everywhere.
I've had better... - posted on 04/12/2006
I've been to Vegas many many times. The room rates were so cheap at the Flamingo and the location is so good that I thought that I would give it a try. Our original room had moldy showers and wet carpet?! Eeew. We did get upgraded to a newly remodled room, but it wasn't anything special. The staff was helpful and check-in/check-out was a breeze. If you're not on a tight budget, spend the extra $ and stay elsewhere!
