one of the reasons I wanted to stay here besides the casino rate that I got from total rewards was that the flamingo has history. But if you are looking for the latest and greatest then this is not for you. I stayed in the newer go rooms which was great. I like the boutique feel and the plasma HDTVs. Channels 100 and above. Also the rooms have TVs in the bathrooms as well. But - the room is smaller than usual which is the only gripe. The valet parking is insanely bad- I think they took my car for a joyride. The gambling is great tho. The dealers are friendly. I prefer this than to the stuffy atmosphere over at caesars.
