Booked a last minute trip with parents and little bro and couldn't find anything reasonably priced. Flamingo was the only family friendly hotel (with a great location on the strip) that I could book so last minute and stay within my budget. Since it is an older hotel, I didn't want to take my chances and booked a GO room. It was only 16 dollars or so more (per night) and totally worth it. The GO rooms are the remodeled rooms and come with views. We had a view of the fountains/habitat area which was really pretty. The room also came with a small fridge and coffee maker. The decor is really cute. The bed posts and pink walls were my favorite part. The rest of the hotel is just so so. Not the type of hotel I would want to spend time in outside my room. The courtyard area is cute though. Has a bunch of fountains, koi pond, and a flamingo habitat area (flamingos stink when its hot out though). Food wise it's somewhat limited and boring. I'd go to the surrounding hotels for eats. Location wise, its pretty great. Right across from Caesars and walking distance to Planet Hollywood, Cosmopolitan and a few other great spots. The pool is one of the best parts about this place. It's separated into two parts. One is a family pool for kids and the other is the Go pool which is 21 and over. Lots of trees so for those of us (like me) who burn easily, its the perfect spot to lounge. It starts off slow but turns into a full blown pool party after noon. Pretty fun and the pool itself is spacious enough to where it doesn't feel like a million people are bumping into you. My only major annoyance was the customer service. It's not a hotel I'd get excited about staying in again, but not bad for a last minute option.
