The Flamingo doesn't blow you away by any stretch of the imagination. Location is the most desirable thing it offers. The (newly remodeled) rooms are fine if a bit over the top. I can't imagine needing or wanting a white plastic headboard but I got one anyway. Only in Vegas. The casino itself is a bit dated and needs a freshening. It's Vegas so I'm sure that freshening is just minutes away. Come in with mild expectations and enjoy the central location!
