I used to stay at the Flamingo years ago, and it was just lovely. I remember shampoo, shower caps, and even bottled water in the bathrooms. Service was great. That was then. This is now.

I booked a standard room in August 2008. It was worn and shabby. Rugs needed cleaning. Mini-tube of shampoo in the bathroom, and not much else, including cups. There was an ironing board in the closet, but no iron to go with it. I called Housekeeping. I got cups, but it took two days and four phone calls to get an iron.

I stayed 3 days. Not once was my room cleaned. Bed not made, wastebaskets not emptied. I guess that was my punishment for all those calls about the iron. I will never stay at the Flamingo again. Do yourself a favor; choose another hotel.

I booked a standard room at the Flamingo for 5 nights july 2008.
I arrived at 10u30 p.m.: the room wasn’t ready yet (slightly worrying because check in times start at 3 p.m.). Waiting time was nearly three quarters of an hour. The room offered basic comfort (internet access was complementary, no minibar, ice machine in the hallway), great view on the pool, staff was very friendly. Room service also took more than a half hour to arrive. Gardens were great, especially during morning hours. Like most hotels on the strip getting in is no problem, finding the exit to the strip walkway requires good orientation. But the main pro of the hotel for first time visitors is the location: especially if you do not rent a car, the monorail which is just at the back is very convenient and most hotels are on walking distance. And may’be a small detail: I like the flagrances this hotel uses and the bar serves a large and decent Margarita for $ 10.

Just returned from a stay in one of Flamingo’s Go Rooms. For a new room there were quite a few problems…...overhead lights burned out, lighting fixtures next to the beds burned out (I was told the bulbs used in those fixtures burned out too quickly and were too expensive to keep replacing) and the temperature in the room never cooled off enough. I called maintenance, who replaced the air filter in the room and said that’s all they could do (this improved the temp a little) and left to get bulbs for the overheads but never returned to replace them. I complained to a manager when checking out and he cut $50 from my bill. I would have expected more. Be careful if you consider this “upgrade”.
The rest of the hotel/casino/pool area were average. I suppose it’s still a good value considering the lower cost of the room and the central strip location but you certainly get only what you pay for.

Checked in at the airport – did the $20 dollar trick and was upgraded to a Exec. Suite on 27th floor—nothing to brag about—Exec. room was no different than regular room other that it had a coffee maker and a couch…. Should have asked for a “go room” instead. apon check out at the hotel. male clerk told me that girl at airport is not allow to upgrade and he was going to have to charge me the difference, I told him to pound salt – he wasn’t charging me anything!! I told him to take it up with her!!! I think he was just P.O.’ed that he didn’t get any of the cut….. BTW - European pool is awesome!!!!

My parents, brother, my boyfriend and I stayed at the Flamingo for 3 nights the week before Christmas. This was my boyfriend’s and my third stay at the Flamingo. We love the size of it, it’s never crowded like some of the theme hotels. The location is perfect- center strip. We walked south one day, north the next.

The rooms are good, better than your average chain hotel, but nothing fancy. We had 1 King bed with a couch and coffee table. The 2 Queen rooms have no couch or table, just a desk(these are the non-renovated rooms). We were in tower 5 with views of the wildlife habitat and pool area. We had to go through 2 people at the front desk in order to get 3 rooms near each other, but it worked out. We were given extra toiletries and towels promptly and housekeeping did a great job.

We watched a football game at the Garden Lounge and got great service from the bartenders. Had an excellent salad and panini sandwich from Ventuno’s walk up counter, also had a great pizza here.

Overall a good experience. Great location, can’t beat the price. We will definitely go back.

We just stayed here in Aug and were disappointed that the elevators still were not updated,they are slow and look awful inside and no air in them!Check in at 11:30pm was SLOW!Pool is great fun though and Margaritaville is great fun. Rooms had mold on bathtub all around and marks all over wall.We will stay again but be pickier in room choices.

Great location, good value, great pool, and many rooms with good views of the strip and Bellagio fountains (you have to ask). Most rooms have been refurbished within last 12-24 months. Casino has good selection of slots, not such great video poker. Table games get crowded, as they tend to have lower minimums than other casinos on this corner.

Room was on the 25th floor with a view of Caesars and Bellagio fountains to the left. Awesome view. Cost $20/night for this view upgrade. If it wasn’t for the view, the room would have only fell into the “average” category. The room was spacious, just bland. The bathroom was just like a bathroom you would find at any regular Motel 6. The hotel lobby is nice, the registration desk personnel were very friendly and nice. The maid service was excellent, with a tip each day we would receive extra stuff. Didn’t visit the pool until the very last day, wish we would have taken some time during our visit to appreciate it more. Although it was not great weather for a couple of days. Overall, pretty nice place to stay. Clean room.

The Flamingo it gradually improving… we asked for a Strip view which was a fantastic view across to Caesars and we could also see Bellagio & The Mirage. The room was very clean and comfortable, the bathroom a little small but adequate and spotless. The usual iron, hairdryer, TV, internet access point, etc. No fancy extras like tea/coffee machine, but genuinely comfortable and excellent location. A good choice if you want mid-strip location at a reasonable price… just don’t expect glitz and glamour.

I asked for a nice room because it was my daughter’s 21st birthday present and they gave us a double room with a fantastic view of the Bellgio fountains. BUT - it hadn’t been cleaned yet! So even though we loved the room and view, we asked for something else rather than wait. They upgraded us to the top floor, where we had two queen beds, a couch and coffee table, very bright and cheerful colors, and a perfect view of the Mirage volcano. Wonderful stay! By the way, we paid only $55 per night!

My husband and I stayed here 10/29/04-11/01-04. The renovated room and strip view was awesome (for a hotel in its class). However, I did have to upgrade and ended up paying top dollar for it. I would recommend it if someone was staying mid-week when rates are cheaper. Staff & Service was great. The airport check-in is a MUST, and a wonderful plus!

In LV 6-18 to 6-24-04. Spent 3 days (6-15 to 6-17) at Edgewater in Laughlin with CA friends, having fun on river with jet ski’s, then over to LV for 3 days at Flamingo followed by 3 days at MGM (after our friends left to return home). We stayed in LV 2 years ago at Flamingo where then 18 and 14 year old daughters fell in love with pool complex. We don’t gamble a lot, spending mornings at pool, then afternoon napping or sightseeing before heading out to dinner and shows. Spent 3 days at Flamingo, as usual, our stay was nice. Had early dinner at Margaritaville on 6-18 before heading to HOB for Jason Mraz concert. Location and atmosphere are classic JB, food was pretty decent, place was somewhat louder than I expected, hard to have conversation. If you are traveling with teens who want to tan and hang out at pool, I’d recommend Flamingo. We also stayed at MGM for first time this trip, I’d say first option should be to stay at MGM if you spend a lot of time at pool. The MGM pool was a bit of a walk but not as bad as I’d been led to believe on this site. We rented a cabana for 2 days mid-week, if you can afford the $150, do it, ask for cabana # 9 for good location near restrooms and refreshments and a really great and attentive cabana staff. Lazy River is right there in front of you, no real need to visit other pools, just grab a drink and float around on inner tube. We did make small profit ($100) on the little gambling we did here. Found staff, including dealers, to be friendly. While Flamingo is also wonderful, MGM is now first choice of my family.

After posting about our experience at the Flamingo, I began to read some of the other comments. I would like to add that I did some research about this property before choosing to stay there. It is my understanding that not all rooms at this hotel are created equal. This is why I specifically requested a room overlooking the Bellagio fountains. I’ve heard that some rooms located in other towers are in great need of improvement. I think a persons experience at this hotel probably also depends on the time of year. We went after spring break and there were hardly any kids around. I am sure it is a different story in the summer. I think the time of day you check into the hotel might make a difference too. To avoid long lines try checking in at the airport or if possible, during the morning hours. Interestingly, we checked in right at the lobby on a Saturday at around 2pm. You would think that would be the busiest time, but we didn’t have to wait at all. Go figure. I guess not everyones experiece will be the exact same, but this hotel is certainly not a dump. Although it’s no longer a Hilton property, it still seems like one to me. It may not be the Bellagio, but it sure isn’t the Motel 6 either. Just request a room with that great strip view including the fountains and you should be more than satisfied.

We stayed here May 27th through the 30th. The grounds out back and the pools are fabulous. The casino is light and much brighter than many other hotels. Our room was larger than I expected with a small sofa, coffee table, desk, two oversized chairs, armoir with a nice sized TV and king sized bed. It was located on the 19th floor overlooking the Bellagio fountains. Last summer we stayed at the Mirage and I couldn’t help but compare the two hotels. The Mirage rooms are beautiful and elegant. The Flamingo’s rooms are standard but I am pretty picky and I felt they were more than adequate. We paid an additional $100 for a view at the Mirage, which consisted of a room that only overlooked the Venetian and Harrah’s. There was NO extra cost for our view at the Flamingo which consisted of the Bellagio fountains, the Paris Eiffel tower, NY NY, the Monte Carlo, etc. The Mirage casino is beautiful, but very dark compared to the brightness of the Flamingo. However, the ventilation is much better at the Mirage, but when staying at the Flamingo it is so easy to access neighboring casinos. My husband and I like to visiting other properties and the Flamingo’s location can’t be beat for that. Plus, I feel the grounds with the pools, fountains, palm trees etc. are just as nice as what you’ll find at the Mirage if not better. Yes, the Flamingo’s bathrooms are on the small side and their elevators and carpeting between floors need to be updated and try to avoid the timeshare salespeople. Just tell them you aren’t interested and that you are leaving town SOON. LOL! But the lobby level with casino, shops, restaurants, etc. appears to be all done with marble floors and is very attractive and well lit. All things considered I would definitely stay at the Flamingo again. Surprisingly, I would even chose it over the Mirage. At less than $50 a night, I would be really crazy not to. However, my husband and I want to experience other hotels and we may stay at the Monte Carlo or Luxor next time. I guess it all depends on where we get the best deal.

Second time we stayed at the Flamingo because other people wanted to stay there, not my choice. I’m still coughing up due to the smoke that fills the casino. Not a place for non-smokers or children. Margeritaville should be checked out. There are other hotels in the middle of the strip, try them instead.

We frequent this hotel several times a year. It always seems like home when we are there. However, it is certainly starting to turn into a tourist hotel and not the “classy” hotel it was when we first started staying there. It takes absolutely forever to check into the hotel..It seems they are forever going into the back to find a room they can release. The rooms are getting worn quickly, even though most of them were upgraded within the last couple of rooms. The pool area is beautiful, however if you are not there by 7AM, forget trying to get a chair. They’re already covered with towels for people who are coming down at 10AM when the shining. Room service is slow and the trays are left in the hallways forever. The cashless slot machines sure make payouts fast! That’s a plus. The restaurants have been revamped and even Lindys meals were fine the last time. But, they really need to freshen the place up!

This grand old hotel has turned into another Circus Circus! Rooms and hallways are showing a lot of wear. Carpet worn and dirty, mold in the bathrooms. Impossible to get an answer from housekeeping.
The $55 summer rates are drawing in van loads of people, many of whom are sharing a room with 20 or more people (including lots of kids). The hotel is overcrowded and the pools…well forget the pools, you can’t get near them!
Nor can you get even a snack without standing in line for 20 minutes.
The ONLY thing this hotel has going for it is its location. Other than that, you might as well be staying at Circus.

What a dump! This place is definately for the unsophisticated traveller. If you have any taste you will not stay here. We stayed for July 4th weekend and it was mobbed. The pools were so over crowed it was pathetic. Lots of drunken adults with their kids running wild. I wouldn’t even take my neice here. It just ain’t right. The room was truly the worst I have stayed in. Motel 6 is better. Seriously. I will never stay here again. I am mad because I spent my money here. My advice is that if you are considering the Flamingo to save money – DON’T! It is a waste of money. You can find something better elsewhere for $20-30 more a night. It is not a bargain, because it will ruin your trip. My memories are of the terrible bed and linens, the dirty furniture and the disgusting carpet and cheap bathroom. This place is a DUMP! Don’t be fooled by other posts praising this place. Go to Bally’s or Caesars or Paris if you want a theme hotel. They should blast it and rebuild.. that is the first thing I thought too. Oh, the Flamingo Buffet was actually a surprise. Not too bad. Go at the end of lunch and you will get fresh food at the cheaper price. Deserts were terrible though.

A good value for location and the pool – we use this as a backup when it’s hard to find a good price on our first choices. Usually ask for strip view rooms and they’ve always given them to us – view is great at night when you’re facing Caesars. The rooms are a little on the small side and the bathrooms are way too small if it’s a couple of women travelling together. The property is beginning to get a little worn, although they have been doing some upgrading. Last stay was April, 2001. One of my pet peeves about Flamingo is that I see room service trays with dirty dishes sitting in the hall for a couple of days, yuk! The pool complex is beautiful – I think it’s certainly up there as one of the top ten. I was glad to read that they are finally checking room keys at the pool – last trip there was no checking and there was a lot of trash around the pool by 5 PM or so.

Some of the rooms are better than others. The ones that

The bathroom is just a bathroom and nothing to write home
about. The pool is one of the best in Vegas. It’s got a
great tropical theme and there are plenty of gorgeous
women out there. The disappointing aspect of this hotel
is the service. About six months ago, it took the change
people 30 minutes to fill up my machine which is ridiculous.
About a year ago, I checked in, but they would not give me
a room until 3pm (it was noon) and they claimed that every
single room was dirty or in use, which I find hard to
believe when I was checking in on a Tuesday. The way
the clerk acted was as if I was just bothering him by
asking him to check in and for my room. The location of
the hotel is great as it is mid-strip.

Only reason to stay here is the amazing pool. Hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed the multi-pool water slide! It reminded us of a Dr. Seuss book, and the line for it looked long but moved really fast. The main pool has built-in benches perfect for relaxing with the beverage of your choice. We paid $45 for our room which reeked of smoke, even four days after I WASHED THE AIR FILTER from the central air unit (yes, I really did). Besides the stench, our room also featured an orange carpet and loudly buzzing lights in the bathroom. But it was worth $45 for the mid-strip location so we could easily go play at other casinos. We hated the Flamingo’s casino, which was – surprise! – way too smoky. Have they never heard of ventilation?

I stayed at the Flamingo during the week after Labor Day 2002. I chose it for three reasons: the pool, the location, and the cost. I heard that the pool was supposed to be fantastic. The pool is actually a pool complex, with about four pools. Unfortunately, one of them is very deep, and so they are filled with kids. Lifeguards were visible, so I guess that’s good. Don’t count on doing laps. The location, just above the intersection of Flamingo and Las Vegas Blvd (the Strip) was prime, and provided easy access north/south and east/west. Parking was a bit tortuous, but all of the casinos put their self-park entrances faaaaarrr away. Finally, the cost. They charged $45 per night during the week, and that was a really good deal. The room itself was fairly standard. I was surprised that the TV set was quite small. In addition, as others have pointed out, the hotel “nickel and dimes” customers through the imposition of surcharges. A call outside of the hotel is a buck. The room safe costs $3.00 per day. That sort of thing. Finally, the lobby is a madhouse. Use the automated check out (on the TV) if you can. You can also check in at the airport, which is a big plus. Avoid the lobby!

We stayed here 7/26-7/30. Check in was a complete nightmare, we changed rooms 5 times before we received the one we stayed the 4 nights in. One of the rooms given to us was occupied. The staff really didn’t seem to care about our problems or offer much assistance.

The rooms were decent…worn but clean. I really liked the floor to ceiling windows. I dislike the casino and the layout of the entire property. But location was great and the pool area is gorgeous. We didn’t swim…it was far too crowded.

Overall, Flamingo is a good place to stay if your looking for somewhere clean and cheap with good location.

This is the first and last time I’ll stay at the Flamingo. Valet parking personnel were rude, no-one came to help with luggage. Front desk personnel were disinterested—hardly looked or spoke to you. They didn’t give me a hotel map at check-in, had to go down and get one. They didn’t get a credit card imprint from me at check in, so no pay per view movies—again had to go back down to front desk, stand in line to get it taken care of. Then, all the movies were in black and white! They said they had no control over that and refunded money for the movies, but still it was a disappointment to my kids. They advertise a great pool, but it’s only three to four feet deep. Pool slides close at 5 p.m., waterfalls at 6. The buffet wasn’t that great and neither was the food and service at Lindy’s.
But the biggest problem—after I left my car at valet parking to check in, the parking attendents couldn’t get it started. So they simply pushed it to the side of the hotel in the red zone. . and didn’t tell me! I discovered it quite by accident the next day at 4 p.m. when my kids and I went out for a walk. When I went to complain about my car sitting in the hot sun, unlocked, for over the day, the attendent said”oh we couldn’t get it started. Your battery died.” When were they planning to tell me—when I checked out? I got conflicting stories from three different parking personnel on what happened. I complained to the assistant manager. If I was told about my car on Friday afternoon, I could of gotten it over to the Saturn dealer and had it all fixed. But here it was almost 5 on a Saturday afternoon, and I was supposed to check out Sunday morning! There’s much more, but I won’t go into all of it (while I was waiting at the front desk another couple came up to complain about valet parking. The man was incensed about “leaving a perfectly good car with the valet one day, and the next day it’s not perfect.”) All the hotel gave me for the time (five hours to tow and get it to Sears), and trouble was, get this, we got to eat at the buffet for free. One meal. Oh yay. Oh, and they let me stay until 3 p.m. vice 11 a.m. checkout.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. But if you do go, stay away from the valet parking!

The two hot tubs were also great. Rooms are average but comfortable at the Flamingo. Service was fine, and our check-in and check-out were speedy.

a seafood buffet. I would definately recommend this place
to anyone who wants to be in the middle of the action (Bellagio

they have timeshare salesmen trying to sell you timeshares.

I have stayed at the Flamingo many times and visited again this week (6/12/00). The staff was accomodating as always. We asked to change rooms after the first night to get a better view. We got a room on the 25th floor of the South Tower with a spectacular view of the Bellagio water show. While not the newest resort on the Strip, the Flamingo is well maintained to Hilton standards. Location is also a big plus for the Flamingo. I look forward to my next visit.
