| - Let's just dive in...
Front desk needs help and a manager that understands customer service. When you rudely make a guest, who's been at your hotel for two days already and whose door card has malfunctioned, wait in line twice to get a replacement card, you've got serious trouble. And getting an attitude about too. Plus, you guys didn't give us our doggie gift basket... That's the least you could do in light of the urine-soaked rug you leave in there. The room smells like a barn. Just because it's pet-friendly doesn't mean you don't have to clean the place.
Elevators are broken. My wife was almost stuck, but luckily the doors opened with the floors misaligned and she managed to climb out.
The rooms have a tacky early-oughts decor with linoleum floors and beat up furniture from the 80s. If you're really into neapolitan ice cream, you'll be in heaven.
We chose the Flamingo because we are Total Rewards members. We chose the Flamingo because it's supposed to be good for pets and kids. We come to Vegas 4+ times a year and have stayed in more than half the remarkable casino/hotels on the Strip and Downtown, along with some of the less-known places. This is definitely the black eye for the Total Rewards properties, if not all of Vegas. Total amateur hour on Las Vegas Boulevard.
If you have tribal tattoos, like GHB and 4Loko, can't get enough beefy broads dancing on platforms and just can't seem to shake Spring Break out of your system, this is your place. If you have an ounce of class, have ever been to a real casino or don't drift, stay away. This place is the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. of the Las Vegas Strip. Ben Siegel would off this place himself.
That brings up another point: If you're paying homage to the guy that started your casino, you probably shouldn't use the moniker he hated.
