stayed 4/28-5/3 Had a great time.Excellent location on the strip and a lovely pool area Definately go here again.

I recently stayed at the Flamingo from May 1st – 4th. The room was average but comfortable. Like most people cite – how much time do you stay in your room? The bathroom was well stocked with the required items. The slots were tight at the times I played. They allowed me to check-in early (7:00 am) which was a big plus. They also discontinued the daily in-room safe charge which I thought should be free in all hotels.

Visited Wynn – Slightly disappointed in the appearance and not as grand as the Belliago. So where did all the money go into?

Dined at the Mesa Grill (Caesar’s) – Excellent food & service, my veal chop & my friend’s strip steak was divine (I enjoyed & savor every bite) definitely get the dessert sampler if you can’t decide on what to try.

Belliago buffet was good as any other buffet – They had some high end stuff – buffalo, venison which was nice. Ate a sandwich from Capriotti's near Sahara Casino – the “small” portion was satisfying for about 7 dollars.

Overall, I would stay at this place again but just not play the slots there.

My wife and I stayed at the Flamingo from May 1 to May 5 of this year. We received an upgrade at the airport for a room on the 28th floor overlooking the strip. The only bad feature was that the fountains at the Bellagio were not running for some reason. Had most of our meals at the hotel in the Tropical Breeze Cafe or the Marqueritaville. The food was good at both but the Marqueritaville was pretty noisy. When we checked out on Wednesday we were comped all our meals based on our casino play. Overall we had a great time and would definitely stay at the Flamingo again. Good value and great location.

My wife, son and I spent a less than thrilling 4 nights at this Strip hotel, from 4/26-4/30/05, hoping to warm up after a cool but comfortable 4 nights stay in a hotel near to Fisherman's Wharf in San Franciso.

We experienced problems from the start - delayed check-in with no key available. Hang around, eat and wait! The pool view from the 18th floor room was marred by obviously dirty windows. Move on to the air conditioning, which was very noisy - we slept with the unit "Off" to reduce the sound. Strike one!

The bathroom facilities were small, a bit cramped and did not include an exhaust fan, so taking a shower required us to turn on the noisy air conditioner to seek relief from the humidity. Strike two!!

Pool: When we arrived the slide pool was closed and remained that way throughout our 5 day, 4 night stay. The management even had the audacity to close the main pool and Jacuzzi one entire day, for a private party- a definite turnoff and certainly not customer friendly. Strike Three!!!

I read another's review that the hotel nickel and dimed ( actually $1'd and $5'd ) you to death for services/ access to facilities, with which I wholeheartedly agree.

Even their coffee and the "corner stand" menu offerings were overpriced in my view. We really don't like to wait in lines, but for one day's morning coffee, I endured a 20 minute wait - but did not subject myself to that form of harrassment - opting instead for less expensive coffee from a nearby shop instead. BONUS: Strike 3 1/2 and coup d' grace!!!!

We were not impressed with the quality of the nightly entertainment - again not family friendly and a bit dated and tired - so we took refuge in several other hotels' entertainment offerings which more suited our interests and desires.

If I/ we ever go back to Las Vegas, it certainly won't be to stay at this overpriced, glitzy, fading giant hotel.
