| - We just recently stayed here for the second time. While it doesn't necessarily meet the same high stands as it's sister casinos, I have never reconsidered staying here after our trips. There is a lot to appreciate (as well as be disappointed in) here.
-Location, location, location. Flamingo is centrally located and in easy walking distance to basically everything.
-Food. I did get food poisoning from the Cafe by the habitat elevators after eating their pizza. Carlos and Charlies is just ok, Margartitaville is cheesy and great.
-Pools. Both trips now the pools have been closed. However, I appreciate being able to use the neighboring properties (Paris, Linq, Ceasers).
-Flamingo habitat. I really liked seeing all of the exotic birds and other creatures. They seem to be well cared for and I do hope that's the truth.
-Rooms. We have experienced both the outdated old rooms as well as the newer GO rooms. My husband preferred the older room simply because of it's size. It was at least twice the size of the GO room we stayed in. However, I found that room to be old (duh), dark, and way too far from the elevator. Basically a full 5 minute walk to our room. I really liked the GO room. We had a great view of the High Roller and gardens, the electronic shades were great, plenty of closet and dresser drawer space, and much closer to the elevator. We upgraded at our checkin this time around ($15 a day) to get that room which I wasn't thrilled with but I didn't want to end up in that old, smoky, dingy room again!
The Flamingo has great history and it's on the smaller side which you will appreciate when you realize you're walking 10 miles a day on the strip. I would definitely stay here again.
