• Location was outstanding.
• House keeping wasn't the best.

“One of the rooms we were booked into had food crumbs on the floor when we got there, that were not cleaned up after the first night. Other than that, the stay was a good one. The beds were comfortable, which was a big plus. If you are looking for a decent place to rest your head in between adventures, this is a good choice.”

• Food was good.
• Guest service, security.

“Guest services manager not very helpful and if something wrong, good luck on getting it resolved. Not a very friendly staff. They have no care for business travelers try to get work done and a quite space request.”

• Terrific rooms and bathroom.

“I would certainly go back to this hotel if I reserved a Go room again. They are very nice. The hotel is also very centrally located. We will definitely be back.”

• The prices at the restaurant/buffet were high considering what was offered in the menu.

“The rooms are comfortable but the food is too pricey for the items offered on the menu. In short, I recommend the hotel but you'd be better off eating elsewhere.”

• The garden area.
• Slow check-in/smoky rooms.

“Heard good things about this hotel but when I arrived, it took almost an hour to check in, then we wanted a non-smoking room and the room smelled like smoke from years past, also the only real reason we wanted to go was for the pool and of course that closed at 5PM and since it took so long to check in we missed out on the pool. Other than that the speedy checkout from the TV was nice, but I would not choose this hotel again.”

• Location on the Las Vegas strip.
• The food was very basic American.

“The hotel is good shape for it's age. The staff was friendly and the pool area was very nice. The best place was Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville bar. Overall, it was good.”

• Pool and view from room was excellent.
• Pool water was a little dirty and simple food over priced.

“Very much liked our upgrade to the deluxe. Great view of Bellagio Fountains and the pool is awesome! Love the water slides and the convienance of a topless pool area, so you can get away from the guest with children. Location is key and I've stayed in Vegas a total of 8 times and this hotel
I will be staying at from now on!”

• The location was fantastic and the casino never smelled of smoke.
• The bathrooms in the rooms are very small.

“For being one of the oldest hotels on the central strip the Flamingo still has kept its charm. Although I would probably consider the hotel closer to being a 3 star rather than a 3.5, I still had a great experience. I was a bit disappointed in the size of the bathrooms within the rooms but I did enjoy the fact that the casino floor seemed very well ventilated and was pleasant smelling.”

• The location was perfect, in the middle of the strip with a lot of surrounding places to go.
• Our walk from elevator was all the way around and our view was a bright neon pink light and parking structure.

“The location of the Flamingo is perfect for travelers wanting to explore. If you want to stay in your hotel at all times this is not the place to be. The history of Vegas may reside here but you're a little stuck in a bygone era that is in need of a little update and facelift.”

• Location.
• Check in.

“I only stayed a few hours at this hotel so I can't say much about my experience except that the room was clean and decent. However, the check in experience was horrible. It was a Friday night, in Vegas, and there were 2-3 people working the desk, one that had at least 20 computers. It took forever to get checked it.”

• Middle of the strip, great for just walking and not driving.
• Hot tub was closed.

“It is in the middle and is perfect if you have a group that can't make up their mind till last second because everything is still and option. I went for new years so their pool was closed. Little disappointed that we weren't able to use the hot tub.”

• Our room on the 27th floor was fabulous!
• The snow kept us inside and I was worried about the flamingos!

“I would highly reccommend this hotel. I am 58 and was traveling with my 84 year old mom and she managed quite well. The size of the hotel was perfect for her, and she had a hard time believing that many of the other hotels were much bigger than that!”

• The hotel is dated but quite comfortable for its age. Very convenient.
• The reception area was very limited for a hotel this size.

“Though this hotel had been around for ages, it was good to note that it hasn't degraded to oblivion like some of its contemporaries. Location-wise, its site on the strip is excellent.”

• The hotel was close to our desired destination.
• The room had paint chipping off cabinetry & doors and mold in bath.

“The Flamingo is in the heart of where you want to stay if you want to stay on the Vegas strip. Our room was in need of a makeover. There was mold on the walls of the shower and paint was chipping off of the bathroom cabinet and walls. The staff was as helpful as they could be.”

• The hotel was rundown, outdated & not maintained.

“The Flamingo has seen better days, and it does not hold a candle to the more recent additions on the strip. The prices are way too high for the quality that you receive. The lobby, casino, and rooms are outdated and rundown.”

• Location and price.
• Old fixtures, odd smells, rude check in clerk.

“Honestly, even considering all the negatives, I'd be happy staying here again since it is a great value, and its in a great location. If one expects to be drapped in luxury, maybe this is not the best place. Main annoyances in this regard. The fixtures in the bathroom were pretty old and caked with hard water stains and lamp shade was torn. Also
the elevators are very old and smelled very strange. I will say that the cleaning crew changed the lamp shade out for me without me even asking though, so many kudos to that. The gentleman at check is was extremely rude to me when I asked for directions to bag check-in.
The hotel is right in the middle of the strip and has a direct connection to the monorail. That's a major plus as well.”

• Hot water took forever. Poor shower control.

“Seemed like something out of the 1980's. Would likely stay elsewhere next time I visit.”

• Good location and met all my needs for the business trip.
• The room was dated and sparse, furniture beat up and bathroom ws not pleasing.

“The Flamingo was a great location, and met all of my basic needs, the overall facility may have been 3 stars, but the room itself was not better than 2 stars. The furniture in my room was visibly damaged, the tile/grout in the bathroom was aged and not well maintained, and the overall decor was probably 20 years old. I was on a business trip by myself, so my expectations were low, and that's basically what I got.”

• Room was well decorated.
• No coffee in room, treated like cattle, shower was not comfortable.

“There's nothing welcoming about this hotel. You might as well be dealing with a corporate computer. It get's the job done but you get the feeling that you are just a number, the bottom line.”

• Enjoyed the pool. Great location on the strip as well.
• Bedroom was unmade when we got there with broken air conditioner.

“When we arrived at the hotel we were excited, until we got into our room and it was completely unmade. No amenities and the air conditioner was broken. A maid came to clean after we called and from that point on it wasn't so bad. Poolside and location of the Flamingo were great, however I can't imagine suggesting it to friends. When I called to speak to a manager she wasn't helpful or caring of our hotel issues at all.”

• Loved the food and cocktails.
• Hassle checking in, long lines and got sent to a dirty room.

“Parking was hassle with the valets and realized easier to park yourself great view and nice having monorail to get to. Casino was fun but strange people after midnight, man in wheelchair interrupted me while playing slots when winning he wanted to buy me a drink? Anyway then I lost everything wanted to a show there, but George Wallace was on vacation.”

• The restaurant Steak House 84.
• The pool. Pool service. The cafe restaurant was very slow.

“The pool was very crowded and small as well as the adult pool. 'The go pool' was crowded as well. The staff was snobby and I didn't see any waitresses taking orders which made us stand in the long line at the pool bar. Also the water would settle in certain places where the few lawn chairs they had were and smelled awful. My wife and I didn't really like the hotel facilities very much either. The one good thing there was the steakhouse. My wife said even though the bill was over $100 that it was the best steak dinner she has ever had and we want to go back there.”

• Location.
• Staff, cleanliness of the rooms, food prices, drink prices, go pool.

“We have been staying here for 7 years now, making 2 or 3 trips a year. Always loved it but this has been the worst trip here ever. We had to wait for our room to be cleaned upon check-in and sat in the hallway for a 1/2 hour for housekeeping to finish only to find out they gave us the wrong room. Back to check-in, then back up to the room next door to the one we were waiting for. Get in and our room is filthy. The carpet, bath tub was dirty, I had holes in my blanket, and no ironing board. I went back to the desk and they said they could not change my room, gave me a $15 for credit and said someone would come up and deep clean. They didn't clean but did bring an ironing board. My sister-in-law had the same trouble with her room. Dirty! We also had trouble with our keys not working in the door. The so called night manager Drew who I spoke with about our room conditions was rude and was not going to do anything about it. We are still here and leaving today. I will be talking to the hotel manager this morning. Food prices have gone up tremendously. Lunch for 4 people at the Tropical Breeze was $100. Ridiculous! The smaller pool is now topless and men have to pay a $10 a day cover charge to use this pool. Several of the employees at the shops were rude, with no thank you at the end of the transaction. What is happening here? We will be staying at the Venetian when we return in February.”

• Great quality, amazing pool, great for kids, friendly and helpful staff.
• Nothing negative to report.

“The Flamingo is perfectly located in the center of the strip and close to major attractions and shopping. The 4 pools and tropical environment offer a resort like experience. The newly upgraded hotel rooms are modern and very unique, with a plasma screen TV. and a flat panel screen in the bathroom mirror. The drapes are operated by a bedside switch, giving an "Austin Powers" feel to the room. A great experience overall.”

• Have to walk through casino to get to the strip.

“When we arrived, we got a room on the 4th floor with a view of a wall. Someone could actually walk up to our window. I asked the hotel to change my room to a room with a better view. And the staff changed the room for me without a problem and gave us a better view of the strip on the 15th floor. Pool was really nice, but very crowded.”

• The casino staff was friendly.
• I felt as though I was not very important at all.

“What a disappointment - Let see where to begin - I have stayed at the Flamingo before and have been impressed with hotel and casino. This experience left me with many doubts. My room wasn't far from the nearest elevator. I had a nice view of the parking garage across the street. The walls were so thin that I was able to hear everything, and I mean everything, from my neighbors next door. I noticed a stain on my bedspread and it only took three separate phone calls to have them change it. Shoot I thought it was a holiday when actually cleaned the room with out me asking. When I tried to use the food credit, the computer did not show I had the credit and I had to spend another 30 minutes waiting for them to figure it out. Even though it took them a day and half to change the bedspread, when my check out time came, I got no less than three drop-ins in under 15 minutes letting me know I was late. By the end of my week, I was so ready to leave the hotel it wasn't even funny. I guess what concerns me most is how my previous experiences at the hotel and this time were so different.”

“Although the staff was friendly and helpful, the hotel was tired looking. The carpeting was worn and faded, the furniture beat up, etc. The bathroom did not appear to have been cleaned and we woke up to only cold water in the shower. Because we had a flight very early in the morning, we attempted to utilize their express checkout. This did not work either by TV access of phone. I would suggest visitors stay at another hotel.”
