| - I stayed at this hotel completely free of charge for my 21st birthday a few years ago with much thanks to one of my best friend's parents who have time share. My three best friends and I, along with our lovely "chaperones" relaxed in a two bedroom suite complete with a full kitchen with a stove, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, utensils such as pots, pans, plates, silverware, etc. and even a washing machine and dryer! I was ecstatic to find a brand new roll of paper towels, sponge, and dishwashing detergent to use. The pots and pans sure came in handy when I cooked beef ramen noodles over the stove while my friends used the jacuzzi in the main bedroom portion of the suite. We ate our midnight snack at the four person dining table.
I still couldn't believe there were no walls dividing our own jacuzzi in between the dual sink vanity and king bed/pull out sofa bed in the second bedroom (complete with mini refrigerator/microwave/sink). It was a bunch of open space that I found hilarious. Each bedroom has its own pull out sofa bed so up to eight people can stay in the two bedroom suites. It was convenient to "prop open" the doors leading directly to the rooms and keep the outer double doors locked, as another yelper previously mentioned. Ooo! There's a doorbell outside! One issue I had was difficulty inserting the room key into the elevator to identify me as a guest. The green light only lit up about twice for the duration of the trip. We used self parking which is very close to the hotel. The monorail is conveniently located in between the Flamingo and Hilton as well; from what I remember you have to walk up the stairs. Make sure to get the free booklet of info and coupons for the week you're there at the station!
Front desk staff was very nice about lending us the ping pong paddles at 11pm our last night there. I believe you can purchase disposable ping pong balls from a candy-like dispenser for a quarter.
I loved how close this hotel is to the Flamingo pool (which you can use, just show your room key). The Hilton pool may be heated, but the Flamingo one creates a waterfall/cave effect you can stand under and has a small slide. Towels were free to use. There were plenty of chaise lounges to sit on at 9:30am (had to avoid the scorching August weather).
My favorite part of this hotel is how much I feel at home. Full kitchen. Washer and dryer. I washed my own dishes on vacation! And we didn't have to spend a cent on breakfast because my friend's parents cooked for us before they enjoyed their time at the casinos! The bed was comfy, bathroom was sized normally, the rooms themselves had plenty of room and a TV in each (plus the living room). I would definitely stay here again when I go back with the same friends and it'll be conveniently located next to the LINQ.
