My wife and I stayed at the hotel July 6th through the 10th. I will not go into too much detail since the other "negative" reviews pretty much cover it.
This was our first time going to Vegas and based on the rates I saw with various hotels on the strip, the Flamingo was the cheapest and in the location we desired. I did originally book the deluxe room but after reading the reviews and wanting a romantic getaway I paid for the Go Deluxe....looked great on the web!
So, here we go......
Negatives
1. The Go Deluxe was nice but we also reserved a King and got a double (we slept separately), lights were burnt out, our room was not cleaned daily but we had access to the towels and things.
2. The Hotel overall was dirty...especially the elevators.
3. The main Pool was nice overall but like others mentioned it was kind of dirty. If you want a prime location in the pool area make sure you are at the gate no later than 7:15am. Gates open at 8am but there is a lengthy line by 8am.
4. Service, well the lack there of. I rarely saw Flamingo staff smiling and do not expect them to assist you with anything.
5. There are computer terminals located in the Hotel lobby area, a sign states that you can use for internet and printing boarding passes....minimum cost is $5 for so many minutes compare to the $13 in the hotel room. DO NOT USE TO PRINT BOARDING TICKETS. I paid the $5 and tried to print, nothing printed and I lost my $5. The person at the front desk told me that I really should not print from those terminals even though there is a sign that states I can......did not get my $5 back.....back to the great customer service.
6. Drinks and food are expensive at the Hotel
7. We checked in late so did not have to deal with the long lines at the front desk but did see ALLOT of long lines throughout the day.
Postives
1. GREAT LOCATION
2. Overall the room was fine but nothing special
2. THE PRICE WAS RIGHT
3. From what I heard, one of the better pools on the strip
