The legend of the Flamingo continues...
I personally love this place. I have stayed and played here many times. I would tell anyone, traveler or local, to get the players card. It is sooo worth it. With the card you will get great deals and free stay if applicable.
The rooms are upgraded and some are really nice.
The casino itself is usually busy and has a great energy. The slots are pretty loose and you can win big.. I have. Know that you need to play more than bare minimum for a good win though.
The servers and floor people are very friendly and attentive when you treat them nicely. ( always amazed at how rude some people are to these servers over FREE cocktails, there are more people than just you waiting for a drink...be nice and wait your turn)
The food court has great choices. I am partial to the sub place. See my other reviews for that one.
The place has great shows and is center strip so it is really a great jumping off point.
The buffet is huge and you will get a discount with the card.
The habitat in the back is wonderful. Take some time and walk through and see all the different animals in the place.
As this is one of the oldest places on the strip and still standing..(not imploded) I would highly recommend checking it out. You will have fun.
