I was very pleased with my recent stay here. It was definitely the best deal I could find online...my cousin, boyfriend and I all shared the room. It was a 2 queen bed room and it was quite spacious. We had a big window although it just faced a parking deck and the side wall of the Flamingo.
Barbary is a great central-Strip location as well. Very easy to cross bridges to Bellagio, Caesars and Ballys. Paris is close by too.
Since the hotels is much smaller than the new megaCasinos, check in is much easier. They offer $2 drinks all the time and they were pretty strong.
There is a Seattles Best Coffee in the lobby, which is good after a late night.
I definitely recommend it!
