| - This is our favorite hotel in Vegas. Granted there are better overall hotels, this one just feels like home to us. That, plus, I get comped my rooms here everytime we stay. :)
My free rooms are just for the standards. I'm not THAT big of a roller, but, I put in enough to get our bi-summer trips in. The rooms are good for sleeping and showering and other recreational activities that usually require a bed and a locked door.
The best, BEST part about this hotel is the Pool. I made a concerted effort in the early part of this decade to stay at EVERY hotel in Vegas. I covered about 60% before I just gave up chasing every new hotel that popped up. I still have to say that the flamingo has the best pool around. The tropicality of it all is very inviting and soothing. We spend as much time as possible here. It gets crowded quickly in the summers. Get in before 10a. They have a waterfall here, a big one. Sitting underneath helps to get those kinks out of your neck. Awesome pool. Oh, and they have poolside blackjack. But, don't play. Unless you're really really drunk.
I don't do very well with the gambling here. I tend to stay away for the most part. Luckily, because they're a Harrah's property, I can play most anywhere on the Strip.
The buffet here is pretty good. We've caught all dining options (breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch) and the food is about a 4 star.
Love this hotel.
