| - The Flamingo is, dollar for dollar, your best bet on The Strip.
Don't stay in their shabby rooms on the lower floors, pay just a few extra bucks and stay in their "Go Rooms" and get all of the amenities that you get from the places that tell you that they specialize in luxury. Flat screen TV's, great views, King size beds, and cool decor.
It also gives you access to a pretty decent pool and a hotel that is right in the middle of it all. It's easy to get to Caesar's, Mirage, Venetian, and some of the smaller hotels right in Center Strip.
They also have an adults-only European pool that is optional topless and a few of the girls take advantage of it. They also do a strip contest on their pole that's in the middle of the pool which reminds me of a sad Lake Havasu and really adds nothing to the afternoon. The live DJ is a nice touch though and it's nice to have an adults only pool right below your room and the Cabanas are a pretty good deal at $300 + a bottle (around $175 for the bottle).
Sure, there are way nicer hotels now, but you won' find a better room quality to dollar value.
