| - The Flamingo is an older hotel, but we stayed in one of the renovated Go Rooms on the 22nd floor facing the strip. It was great having views of the Bellagio fountains and the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas Blvd. The room was comfortable, spacious and clean, and it included a flat screen television, a stereo system with DVD player, and an embedded television in the bathroom mirror. It was convenient having a small mini-fridge to keep drinks and snacks cold.
From a design perspective, although I liked the stylish headboard and clean lines of the furniture, the color palette is not harmonious. A little hard to do I guess if hot pink needs to be one of your primary colors. Also, as you walk from your room into the elevators down to the lobby, it's like descending back in time through different periods. This may sound nit-picky, but if part of your trip is to take in the delights of interior design, you're going to have to walk over to the Aria or Wynn instead.
There's a gym and spa located in the hotel. It's $5 per day or $25 for three days to use the fitness equipment. It comes in handy when you want to work off some of that buffet food. Speaking of the buffet, I liked it. I especially liked having brunch here on Saturday to have all-you-can-drink champagne. Be sure to be seated near the window and admire the live flamingos, ducks and koi swimming in the pond.
