  • VEGAS IS NOT FOR KIDS There I said it. With all the things that kids have in the world (Disneyland, playing consoles, smart phones, etc.) adults need to have their own playpen. People say I'm an old soul. I like the Vegas of old - a swinging town dominated by gamblers. Even though there are more visitors in Vegas, Macau has become what Vegas was - the gambling capital of the world. People say the Flamingo is run down. To that I would respond is that if it wasn't for the Flamingo the Las Vegas Strip that we know today wouldn't have existed. The Flamingo isn't kid friendly but if you want that then go to Circus Circus. Let's be honest casinos like Circus Circus wouldn't have made what The Strip is today. The Flamingo represents a lot of history through good times (Rat Pack) and bad times (mob). There's a certain character the Flamingo that exhibits through this day. My favorite old time Vegas movie is the original "Ocean's 11" in 1960. Of all the hotels featured in that movie Flamingo is the only remaining. During the Presidents' Day Weekend my friend and me stayed here for 3 days. I never stayed at the Flamingo before. My original review of the Flamingo was a 5-star rating because I won over $700 about 2 years ago that paid off my Vegas trip. When we arrived this past Thursday there was a long line in the check in line. However there was no line at the Total Rewards Gold Member line. Being a Total Rewards Gold Member I went to that line to quickly check in. (Here's a tip be a Total Rewards Member so you don't have to wait for a long line at the regular check in.) We stayed at the Go Room. This room represents a modern feel that includes a 42" HD TV and a TV in the bathroom. One of the features I love about the Flamingo is the layout of the casino itself. Even though the casino is smaller than most casinos all the gaming activities are centralized and not spread out as some casinos in The Strip. This makes people gamble more. Another great feature is the garden that includes a wedding chapel and swimming pools. Unfortunately the swimming pools were closed due to renovations. You might ask if I love the Flamingo so much then why on my updated review I didn't give a 5-star rating this time? Two years ago I stayed at the Roman Tower at Caesars Palace. That room at Caesars was twice as spacious than at the Go Room of the Flamingo even though I paid a little more at Caesars. That was the only knock on the Flamingo. The Flamingo remains a gambling playpen for those adults who want to relive the Old Vegas the without the hassle of a kid friendly atmosphere.
