Stayed in Vegas for my secong time and loved the Flamingo!
We stayed in a 'Go room' which i would recommend. It is fabulous! TV in the bathroom mirror, push button curtains, flat screen TV...awesome!
The pool area got quite busy and loud and is definately geared up for younger people with a DJ playing all day and cocktail waitresses. We didnt venture into the over 21's pool as you had to pay extra. the water was pretty cold too - nice to cool off from the crazy heat!
The hotel air con is pumped through to smell of pina colada/coconut - very nice.
Its a real party hotel but beautiful at the same time, the gardens are lovely and we saw a few weddings happening. There are birds and wildlife as you walk through so a real sense of tropuical gardens -even saw a humming bird.
I just cannot say enough about how great the rooms were - waaaay more than 3* standard. I was very very happy with my choice of hotel. Its so camp i loved it!
The location is one of the best on the strip, bang smack in the middle and right opposite the Bellagio and Ceasars - which was good as we were there to see Cher.
Would and am staying here again!

I have been to vegas 7 times now and have stayed at some of the nicer places on the strip (Mandalay bay, Ceasers). Flamingo is on the best intersection in the city and a quick walk to my favorite 'value' casinos (Bills, O'Shea's and Casino Royale) as well as a quick walk to high end casinos (Bellagio, Venetian, Mirage). You simply cannot beat the location.

The pool is nice, not amazing but again it's all about value here. Love the grotto on hot days, we got back today and it was 109 while we were there. you can get to the pool early to get a decent seat (get there around 9am) and when it gets hot you can relax in the grotto and it feels like its 70 degrees. There are also kid-friendly slides and waterfalls, which I did not try.

We had comp rooms in a deluxe room, and upgraded to the GO room with a strip view of ceasers and bellagio for just $30 per night. The GO room is as good as any room I have ever stayed in on the strip and MUCH less expensive, and if you get the strip view you can sit by the window and watch the bellagio fountian shows.

Cons: They definately do not have the attention to detail here that the mid to high end places have. The hotel interior is badly in need of a paint job, you may see some peeling wallpaper in you room, there may be some stray cigarette butts by the pool in the morning, the pool gets very crowded very early, but the price, location and the GO rooms make it well worth it. The rooms were always VERY clean and housekeeping did a great job.

I have actually never stayed at the same hotel twice in my 7 times out, but I would definately stay here again, especaially if prices stay this low. I went with my wife and another couple, and we had a blast at the pool, then going to Bills, O'sheas, and Casino Royale to gamble at night. When you read the bad reviews on here, understand that thospe people are paying very low prices, but expecting the bellagio quality...just not going to happen. This place is really fun, with tons of history, a good pool and perfect location.

This hotel was perfect for our trip as it was centrally located on the strip making it easy to visit anywhere we needed to along the strip. The hotel itself was great value for money compared to other expensive themed hotels on the strip and had good service. The rooms were amazing too. We stayed in the new Go rooms so make sure when you book a room at this hotel that you are located in one of these. They are massive and are decorated in a modern contemporary style with lavish pink bathrooms and a t.v both in the room and also in the bathroom. In addition we had two massive double beds which were comfortable and spacious. We also had an impressive view of the strip , the Rio Hotel and also a partial view of the Bellagio fountains! In additoin the grounds and swimming pool area are great too. They are located at the back of the complex and they are huge, there are even real flamingos and various other birds situated in the grounds! However be warned as the hotel swimming pool does seem to have a younger and rowdier crowd and its noisy so may not be suitable or relaxing for older visitors. Overall a great stay and I would definitely reccommend staying here and would stay here again in the future.

Ok, I booked 1 night in LV at the Flamingo as we were just passing through on our way to California. After I booked the trip, I began hearing bad things about the casino/hotel. So I did some more research, read loads of reviews, and heard bad after bad after bad review about the rooms, the service, the price, etc. I began to get REALLY nervous, and was actually trying to back out of the Flamingo after reading all the bad stuff about it. I heard that once you book your reservation there, they don't give you a 100% refund so I thought I'd just go ahead and just do it, get it over with, and learn from my mistake of not researching things better. To my surprise... we checked in very easily, our room was automatically upgraded to a King/Suite with no rate increase. We got into the room and we were AMAZED. It was beautiful, huge, clean, and again AMAZING. We couldn't believe our luck. There was smoke in the casino obviously, but none drifted to our room. I had to call down and ask for more pillows and blankets and the bellhop came up within 5 mins. He was a very sweet man so I gave him a small tip and he was so gracious! I did NOT want to leave the next morning! We had a great time and I can't wait to go back!!
