Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel - Page 8

It was a bit over-priced. All in all I had a good experience at this hotel.

It is centrally located. It’s very nice and clean and has a good atmosphere. I will always go back.

I was very satisfied with everything.

I thought the hotel was a great place to stay. The location on the Strip was perfect!

I thought the check-in was too slow, and the bathroom definitely showed its age. There was peeling wallpaper below the mirror, for example. On the plus side the water pressure in the shower was wonderful and there was lots of hot water. The baggage check was also very slow, although pick-up was very efficient. The Sunday brunch line looked very intimidating but the line moved quickly and I really appreciated their having sugar-free desserts.

I requested a non-smoking room but it was not available at check-in. The room smelled awful. The bathroom fixtures were loose and leaking.

I requested a non-smoking room. They could only get a smoking optional room. It would have been a hassle to change when one did become available.

I really liked the location as it was central Strip. It was easy to find and navigate within.

This hotel made me feel secure: Overall, I felt more safe in Vegas that I thought I would. The Flamingo just seemed safe.

I love the pool. It’s the best part of the hotel. I would recommend it.

I love the location, and the casino and video poker bars are fun. The hotel rooms are average, but fairly priced.

I have stayed there several times before. The hotel is very convenient and well laid out inside. Nothing is too far away. It also is one of the oldest on the Strip and is historically significant. The recent renovations and room furnishing upgrades make it even better.

This hotel made me feel practical: As a previous guest there was no charge for my four-night stay in a very nice room.

I had comped rooms. I got new rooms and it was excellent.

I had a never resolved loss issue, my dad's jacket. They looked for it, and it was an oh well issue.

I arrived late night and was not given the room I reserved. Very tiny. I requested a room change the next day and was given even a worse room. The room was dirty and had broken cabinetry in the bathroom. I have closets larger than that bathroom.

Each time I called for room service, the wait time was 50 minutes.

The maid left my room open and unlocked. Thankfully nothing was stolen from my room.

Overall, a poor quality hotel.

The Flamingo was very expensive and very average. The air conditioning leaked onto our bathroom floor. The restaurants are very expensive and the food is average. The Buffet charged an ADULT price for my nine year old who doesn't like anything. The cut off for a child is EIGHT years old. Ridiculous. We rented a 'special' lounge chair for $100. It was supposed to come with shade curtains on the side and a shade on the top, drinks, and a poolside server all day. We had no curtains, no server, and had to throw a fit to get the drinks that were supposedly included. The room furnishings looked old. We stayed there becaused we participated in a dance competition that was held at the Flamingo. I can't say the Flamingo was BAD, but I also don't feel that I got my moneys worth. I hope our competition is held at a different hotel next year.

Everything was standard.

I have stayed at the Flamingo Las Vegas several times in the last 4 years, and after having also stayed at the Stratosphere and Luxor I can't think of any reason to change to another hotel. We love the location, you are in the heart of the action and can easily walk to major attractions, shopping and night clubs. The Flamingo pool is a paradise to lounge and consume adult beverages. I have used the Spa facilities and booked a massage and it compares very favorably to other Spas I have visited. I am by no means rich, and I think the restaurants are reasonable. I have never had a dirty room and never seen a hint of mildew or mold and everything was up to date every time. The "Go Rooms" are cool & retro, but I don't mind the regular rooms either. Try to get a room on an upper floor facing the south and you'll get to enjoy the Bellagio fountains right from your room. I am booked to stay there again later this month (7/'07) and can hardly wait to get there.

Location: Right in the middle of The Strip, so you definitely feel that you have access to other hotels (Venetian, Caesar's, Harrah's) and shopping (Sephora, The Fashion Show Mall). However, the hotel casino did not feel mobbed by droves of people. But if you feel like being part of the action, you only need to step out onto the street and you're right in the middle of everything.

Amenities: We upgraded to a Go Room, and it was excellent. Not too small, not too big. Decor was fun, both retro and modern. Ipod dock connected to the flat screen tv and speakers, so you have the ability to get the party started right in your room. Bathroom has built-in TV as well, and though I didn't use it, it felt cool knowing that such a "pimped out" feature was available. Wish the bathroom had a tub, though.

Service: Partying got a little heavy on first night there, so the room was in a shambles the next day. However, maid service took care to restore the room to its original state, which was very nice. Would have liked more towels in the room, but other than that, no complaints. Room service was prompt and the food was good.

Pool: Get in line early if you want prime real estate (i.e., pool chairs with sun and easy access to the pools), and by early we're talking 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. Keep in mind, you're not allowed in the water 'till 9:00a.m. If you're there with a group or another person, you can always send someone down to put some towels down and mark your territory. Pool crowd is quite diverse. You have everything from the weight-challenged 60 year olds to the waifs, young 20-somethings, and everything in between. All in all, pool scene is low key if you're there early (between 8:00 and noon). Can't vouch for the afternoon scene, though. Another cool thing to the pool: a sandy beach located near the pool area, which is nice for those who just want to sun bathe.

FYI - I am in my early 30's, when I go to Vegas, it's to drink, chill at the pool, go out to clubs, eat at nice restaurants, do very little gambling, and lots of shopping. For me, Vegas is a grown-ups paradise, so I am leery of the kid factor. There were kids at the Flamingo, but you didn't feel overrun by them. I would definitely go back to the Flamingo and stay in one of their Go Rooms again.

I have eaten their dinner buffet 5 times in the last 2 years and it is excellent for the price.

The swimming pools are great and quite tropical .The birds and animals outside are fascinating. You don't feel like you are in the city when you stroll through the outdoor areas.

Try to get one of the remodeled rooms.

the location is great and the staff has always been friendly.
