Now to details. Over arguably the busiest weekend of the year, nothing was missed. I had more than 10 rooms assigned to my birthday party. Every request and detail was fulfilled. I needed some people to be in adjoining rooms and others I just wanted on my floor. It worked well.
I am so pleased with how well everything worked out. Seriously, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Sheri was really comforting, understanding and resourceful. She was challenged by the fact that I knew the landscape of Vegas more than most tourists - but she still was willing to go the extra mile in any and every circumstance.
Hotel Room: All of the resort rooms have now been updated to Fab rooms. They have hardwood floors and I believe the bathrooms have not been updated, but seriously it's a bathroom - if you spend too much time in here - you are doing the wrong things in Vegas. The bed was comfy and the AC worked well. I was very pleased given that I stayed here like 5 years ago for a wedding and I wasn't happy. This time I am so happy to see the improvements they've made.
Pool: What can I say about the pool which hasn't already been said? It is just fun and you will have a great time. I like the fact that you can have a spot to party your a$$ off and you can also find a place to lay low and relax.
Food: We didn't eat inside Flamingo so we can't comment on this. In the past, we have enjoyed food at Margaritaville. You won't go wrong there for food or a party environment or both.
Gambling: The tables are the standard going rates for middle of the strip.
Valet/self-parking: This is a super busy weekend, but I was very disappointed how many times the valet was full unless you are a seven-star member (gambling/entertainment card through Harrah's)
I will do this again in a heartbeat. Don't read the older reviews - read this one and know it is completely accurate. This hotel has learned from the past and they have invested a good amount of money to make it better.
Lastly, they were smart to use self-checking kiosks because the lines at times were extremely long - just a tip if you want to bypass the regular check in line.
Have a great time and be sure if you have a group event - reach out to Sheri - thanks again!
