| - Maybe it's a good thing that these older hotels such as the Flamingo, are overshadowed by some of the newer hotels in Vegas. It allows for a great value!
On our last night in Vegas, we wanted to stay on the strip compared to the off the strip accommodations we had in the previous days over at the Las Vegas Hilton (See review)
I had SEEN the Flamingo GO rooms and when I saw a current deal that had it at $55 (Total with tax and no resort fees) I decided to book it.
We get to the front desk and our front desk agent upgraded us to one of the GO Suite rooms with a view. She didn't have to, but she did and I am forever grateful since I did not have any cash on hand to tip her. I will hopefully be able to show thanks next time I am here--If I go here anytime soon. But if not, hopefully good karma comes her way.
So we get to our floor, and it is obvious it's "GO" time. See what I did there? The "GO" theme is pink, as is the main theme of the Flamingo. This theme spreads throughout the hallway. The door to our room and just the vibe prior to entering the room had me believing it was going to be a small room. Upon entering you are hit with the openness of the GO Suite room. The living area is fairly large.
The theme as mentioned goes with the rest of the Hotel... PINK. It was not overly done, and it was just right. The room was very chique. We had a nice view of the strip and could see the Bellagio fountain show. One of the many PIMP features includes the motorized sheers and blinds. You go in there and press the two buttons and it opens up the blinds and curtains. The windows themselves span across the room and it is floor to ceiling height so it is very open.
You go to the bedroom and you are presented with the same window treatments. Full view of the strip, windows floor to ceiling height, with motorized blinds and sheers. The bed setup is also nice. There LED accent lights on the top, and adjustable ones on each side. THE BED IS COMFY!! It had nice support yet really sunk you in like you were floating on clouds.
As for the bathrooms, the suite room has 1 and half bath. Right from the entrance and in the bedroom. The bathrooms don't have locks and the window is opaque so you can see that someone is in there, but can't make anything out. This maybe a problem for a few especially if sharing with others. Same goes for the bedroom bathroom. There is a single person tub and separate shower. The shower has strong pressure WITH BODY SPRAYERS! His and her sinks in the bathroom located in the bedroom. AND YES THERE IS A TV BUILT INTO THE MIRRORS!
Both the living quarters and bedroom have separate flatscreen TVs. Looks to be 42". Also comes with nice sounding 2.1 channel sound system, you can hook up your media, has a USB port, and optical drive.
The living area has a couch that does turn into a bed for extra guest.
So why minus 1 star? Although the TVs are HDTV, there was NO actual High Definition programming. It's like buying a Ferrari and only staying in 1st gear. Why do establishments still do this?!?!
Also the sound system in the bedroom was broken. It just didn't work anymore. One of the lamps also had a bulb that was out.
Internet was not free, but that is common these days.
Overall despite those minor quirks, I would highly recommend the Flamingo. It's on the strip and have affordable prices.
