| - Stayed here during CES 2009. This room was booked by my friend who combined our players' cards to get a discounted rate of $320 for 4 nights. Something went wrong, so since I arrived early, I wanted to check in first, but couldn't because they didn't have my name on the reservation, and I had to wait for my friend to arrive later in the afternoon. At least I could drop my stuff off and head for the show.
When my friend did arrive and check-in, everything was all screwed up. First, they didn't have me registered in the system, which wasn't a big deal since they did have a room for 2 queen beds. Then, they thought there were going to be 4 people in the room, but the reservations were only for two. The good thing though, was that since it was for 2 people, they lowered the rate to $180 for the 4 nights, making our average less than $50/night for the room.
The one thing about the Flamingo that was strange was this perfume smell that was everywhere in the hotel and casino. My clothes smelled like it. Otherwise, just like most of the other Harrah's properties nearby (except for Caesar's) it provided pretty much the same amenities I would have expected.
