The first thing to note is that this is not the Flamingo hotel. Some of the other reviews may have confused this with the Flamingo. It is a Hilton Grand Vacations club property which shares the Flamingo grounds. It is actually behind the Flamingo, sharing the walkways and pools with the other hotel.
I really enjoyed this hotel for several reasons. First of all I spent the weekend before this stay as part of a larger group at the Las Vegas Hilton and had a horrible time with that property. This property was like a breath of fresh air. My room was available hours before check in and the reception staff was exceptionally professional and friendly. As a matter of fact, everyone I ran across working there was exceptional. The gentleman who worked in maintenance even intoduced himself and offered a warm welcome when we shared the elevator. The valet staff was extremely attentive as was the bell staff. Housekeeping was both friendly and thorough.
I loved that there wasn't actually a casino in the hotel because that made it much quieter and less hectic than other area properties. You could, however, easily saunter over to the Flamingo's casino or Bill's. The monorail station was also very convenient and you can easily get to Harrah's, the MGM, Bally's, the Hilton Las Vegas, and the Sahara. Plus, if you don't mind a little walking, you can get the properties that neighbor the ones I just listed.
The room itself was terrific. It was a one bedroom suite, complete with a full kitchen (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, etc.), dining area, washer and dryer, living room area and a bedroom that boasted a two person whirl pool tub. My rooms overlooked the Flamingo grounds and pools and was very quiet.
There is a small grocery store/ deli in the hotel and the sandwich I had there was great. There is also a grocery/ liquor store behind the property that was within easy walking distance.
I will definately look for rooms at the Hilton HVC at the Flamingo the next time I am in town. What a great experience!!!!
