I've been to Vegas three times, and two of the three times I've stayed at The Flamingo. Yeah, as a hotel on the strip, it's outdated, but the room was nice and clean, a hell of a bargain, ramp parking was free, the automated check in and in-room TV checkout was smooth and easy, it has a great central position on The Strip, I like the "jungle" of palms and waterfalls and actual quiet places outdoors to chill, and they make a really good pina colada.
