The reviews on the Flamingo are mixed and I am convinced that is because of the variance in rooms. My husband and I stayed here during our honeymoon. We upgraded to a go-room which makes all the difference and we would not have stayed in anything less at this hotel. I scouted for months for the right hotel in Vegas and I chose the Flamingo over the Bellagio or the Cosmopolitan for a few very good reasons. First off, we don't gamble. We were in Vegas for a week and gambled four dollars so the casino which is not so ritzy did not matter. The pool however is fucking amazing.Yes. F-bomb amazing. Gorgeous waterfalls and palm trees. The pool here is fabulous, a little MTV on the weekends but all of Vegas is like that on the weekends.
Buffet, ehhh. all buffets suck in my opinion. The go-rooms, awesome! We paid 60 dollars a night with our package and had a t.v. in our bathroom mirror as well as bose speakers in our bathroom, cable, a surround sound stereo with ipod adapt-abilities, a mini fridge to keep or bevies cold, a dvd player, and we could open our drapes via remote. I love pink and retro and our room was pink and retro! As far as the food provided on the strip it all sucks as to true tourist dinning but we actually found the best food and bang for our buck here than at places like the Paris or the Venitian. I would totally stay here again, mainly because of the pool. If you want a great pool the Flamingo will not disappoint. You will forget you are in the desert.
