• Location!
• Smokey casino, tight slots, dirty rooms, and expensive restaurants.

“Stayed here with my family for 3 nights July 1, 2007 to July 4, 2007. Location of hotel on strip was one of the key factors for selecting this hotel. July temps ranged from 110 to 115 degrees and nobody needs to be out long in that weather. Other than that, this hotel has few other positives. Some of the negatives include Smokey casino, tight slots (worst in Vegas), dirty rooms, and expensive restaurants. Cleanliness of the rooms in particular was a big disappointment. My youngest daughter cut her foot open on a sliver of broken glass in the carpet shortly after we arrived. One of our bathrooms smelled like a sewer and the other had no cover over the air conditioning duct. Also they charged us after we left for bottled water in the room that we did not drink, kind of lame nickel and dime attempt that they probably try with everyone. Also, the pool waterfalls and slides are turned off in the mornings and late afternoons which is when we wanted to use them. I doubt we would stay this hotel again. I would prefer to pay a bit more for something better on our next trip.”

• Pool and services at the pool-attentive staff.
• They told me upon check-in that I was going to be up-graded to a suite upon check-in but it was a mistaken identity/with no further explanation.

“The location was great and the price was very good. My kids enjoyed the pool facilities.”

• Everything was pink, and followed the theme very well.
• The Margarita Ville restaurant's service was horrible.

“Great location, inexpensive relative to Vegas, and we had a great 25th floor strip view. Overall, very nice. And it fit our budget.”

• It is fairly old and beginning to show its age.

“The pool area and location on the strip is fantastic and since you're usually not in your room much anyway, and it's less expensive than Paris, NY.”

• Beautiful pools, inside and out the Flamingo property was well kept.

“I went to Vegas and stayed at the Flamingo for my 50th birthday with a party of 4. Our stay was excellent with the exception of one waitress who works at the Tropical Breezes Cafe. Prior to our dinner there everything at the Flamingo was excellent! But that night took that excellence and turned it to a disappointing evening. On May 23, 2007 we were served cold food and when we asked for our waitress it took forever, and finally when she arrived she was beyond rude. When I complained about the cold food and the wait for service she rudely replied and I quote! "You know you don't have to eat here! I did not make the food!" At that point we chose to leave and not eat the food (1 hour in total spent there) the remainder of our party finished their meal and were not approached again for refills of drinks. Too bad one person had to ruin a pleasant evening.”

• The flamingo is centrally located on the strip, so its good for those wanting to see lot in Vegas.
• Its a pricey for rooms that have not been renovated in a decade or so.

“Pros: centrally located, cheap tables, nice pool. Cons: older rooms, hotel is not as grand as some of the other hotels. They rarely card to get into the pool and because of that it seems the pool over crowed from non-hotel guests.”

• The pool in it's quiet hours.
• No one gave clear explanations on where things were in the hotel or in town. DJ at pool was obnoxious.

“The room was comfortable and clean. The staff although nice enough, couldn't give clear and helpful directions/suggestion to save their lives. The pool was delightful until the DJ started yammering in between song. He should have just let the music play. A more relaxing spa entrance would be nice too. Those who are looking for relaxing message don't want to walk through the "workout" on the way in and out.”

• The Flamingo had a terrific swimming pool area.
• The room was plain, nothing special, no mini-bar. The soda pop machine was sold out.

• Better location, more gambling games, varieties better than Borgata in AC.
• Swimming pools only for 21 and above, wish younger kids were allowed too. 2nd, parking space very narrow and not good, spaces between each car.

“Needs improvement on the parking lot, spaces should be wider between each line. There should be a non smoking gambling section like some casinos in Atlantic city. My sister was not able to enjoy since she cannot tolerate the smell of cigarettes.”

• Newly renovated room was great!
• Lobby areas a little run down, casino is small relatively speaking.

“The new room was great. It was large, well equipped (huge plasma TV, bathroom TV built into the mirror, pennon stereo system, floor to ceiling windows, deluxe shower with multiple spraying jets, etc.) And clean. If they update the lobby to the same level as the new rooms, the flamingo will really be a big Vegas Name again. The gym was also very well equipped and well staffed. The location of the flamingo in the heart of the strip basically puts you within walking distance of everything you want to see with the obvious exception of the Freemont sty. Experience.”

• Location, lay-out.
• Check in time.

“We have stayed at the flamingo before and where very pleased. but this time we where a little up-set when making the reservations on-line, we could not select a smoking room and when we arrived the check in gal, was not very polite about getting us a smoking room and over all was not polite. Our on-line confirmation said check in was 3 pm Vegas time, but she changed it to 4pm and was very firm with us about this. We arrived at the hotel at 10am, so another hour added on was tough on us. As the stay continued this improved greatly, we will stay again next year at the Flamingo (we go every year).”

“Flamingo was excellent location in mid strip on Las Vegas blvd. The casino ventilation was not good and the smoke was oppressive! Went across the street to Caesars to gamble it was so bad. The Japanese restaurant Hamada was very bad, food poor quality and price was through the roof. Best meals were at other properties.”

• Location.
• It appeared to be a bit beat up and in some spaces dirty.

“The flamingo has lost some of its old glamour, the elevators were beat up and the numbers on the rooms were sometimes written in black marker, where the old numbers had fallen off. The food was okay. A minor inconvenience was the alarm in the unoccupied room next door was going off at 5am for two days straight. I had to call security both mornings. If the flamingo can continue to improve the look without a drastic increase in price, this hotel will be a good choice for those on a budget and want to stay on the strip!”

“It took 3 attempts and about an hour to get a key that would open my room. My room did not have towels. It took another 1/2 hour to get those. Calls to the front desk were put on hold for a considerable time. Location is great. Room was clean. Relatively quiet for Vegas.”

“Registration staff was especially friendly and helpful. Lobby was upscale. The room was large, clean, and comfortable with a great view. The beds were just adequate and needed a higher quality mattress. Location is excellent across from ceases and near the mirage - right in the center of the strip. Hotel coffee shop served mediocre food but charged a high price (especially for a casino). Overall grade b+ . Good quality for a reasonable price.”

• I liked the pool area and the atmosphere outside.
• Difficult to find entrance to hotel. Had to wait over 45 minutes to receive car from valet. You were forced to use valet parking.

“I thought the hotel itself was nice. However found it difficult to find entrance and where to park. Stayed two days and both days had a different entrance don¿t know if that it was because one night was a Thursday night and the next was a Friday night. Also was unable to use the video checkout on TV as was suggested to by staff. It wasn't working in our room. Also to request valet to pick up bags on departure (as suggested by staff) was unable to do so as line was always busy. Overall I thought it was a nice hotel but efficiency in its operations were lacking.”

• Liked the garden.
• No complementary breakfast, once inside everything is heavily taxed (internet $12/day. Water $3.5/bottle).

“The quality of the room was fine reported to the price we paid, but everything else is setup to milk the customers as much possible (10min internet at the business center is $7.5), a beer in the casino is $4.75, etc). The tourism industry in Vegas used to collect revenues from gambling, and offer complementary services as an incentive for people to go gamble. Today nothing is free.”

• The location is very good.
• N/A

“We had a great experience mostly because we were upgraded to a suite. The suite was huge with a bar, two bathrooms and a separate bedroom. We ordered room service Saturday morning, they came when they said they would and the price was actually very reasonable, 38 dollars for two full breakfasts isn't bad! Overall it's in a great location but the facilities are a bit on the tired side especially when compared to her glitzy neighbors. She's a bit like an older show girl with feathers bent and some sequins missing. I would say it's got a couple of years before someone tears it down and rebuilds.”

• I liked the location because it was right in the middle of the strip.
• Room reserved was not available so had to switch rooms 2nd day, pool not as advertised, water slides not going, room service bad, changed drink deals.

“The Flamingo is great for the reason that it is right in the middle of the strip. It had a lot of fun things going on around the area. Unfortunately, we found the bar and live band a block away the day that we were leaving. We were disappointed when we arrived because they gave our reserved room away. They did put us in a mini-suite, though, which sounds great, but not when 2 of us had to sleep on "complimentary" pull-out cots that were worthless. It was such a pain packing the next day and moving to a different room on the other side of the hotel. The many times that we tried to order room service, it would take forever, and when it finally did come, it was not good food at all. The waterfalls at the pool were not running, nor were the water slides that they advertise. There was a lot of construction going on around the pool area. The palm trees at the pool were beautiful, but they blocked the sun! Very minimal places to get sun, and those spots were always packed. Drink deals continued to change from server/bartender. One hour you could get a complimentary drink just by sitting down at a table or slot machine, and the next hour you had to put at least 20 dollars in and play max credits otherwise you had to pay 6 dollars for an 8 oz. Bloody Mary. There was an annoying safety check early in the morning one day where there was a loud, fire alarm type drill that blasted over the room speaker for about 5 minutes. The bathrooms were very small. The views from both of the rooms that we had were of parking lots and ramps. The elevators were 2 hallways away from our room. The buffet had a large selection, but was not that good for the price that we paid. Check-out on our room service card said 11, the phone said 12, and the maid said 11:30. We were getting a little sick of nobody knowing what was going on. Phone lines were always busy. Overall, it was a good place to sleep for 6 hours and get ready, but otherwise we were out of there! Hope to find a be.”
