Location, location, location! This is what is good and what is bad about this place. It seems like each time that I am coming to Vegas, the Strip is more congested than the previous time. This has become a nightmare since the center strip area where the Flamingo is located is really at the center of all attractions here and the opening of the new "Linq" with it's "observation wheel" has only made things worse. It takes forever coming and going from the area and parking is sometimes limited to "hotel guests" only so if you are driving and just want to come for an event or to play here, then you are out of luck!
The upside of course is if you stay here and don't have a car, you can pretty much stay in around and have enough choices of casino, shopping and attraction within an easy walk!
Traffic was not an issue when Bugsy Siegel opened the place in an empty desset patch in 1946, but we came a long way since then!
