| - I'm going to break this review down in sections:
I stayed at the Flamingo from 8/14-8/20/2013 and I loved it, despite all the negative reviews.
First thing, GET A TOTAL REWARDS CARD, if you fail to obtain one prior to check-in you more than likely will be waiting a significant amount of time in line. If you are 7star/Diamond/gold member they have a separate line for them, for example, I am a gold member and was able to bypass the line and check-in immediately.
POOL: 5/5
Pros----Amazing pool, PARTY atmosphere, only a small section that is in the shade for half the day the rest is in the sun all day, great party music, weekends have booty shaking contest, Ages range is typical 20-30s, but plenty of ages enjoying the fun atmosphere. Tropical style setting: palm trees, water fall. Towels for flamingo guests
Cons: PACKED on weekends, get there early (8am) if you want a great seat, if not you will be hunting for spots to sit. However I was able to get seats later in the day when the second wave of people began showing (2pm). Bathroom for men has only 3 toilets, kinda sucks when a line forms. Drink lines can get lengthy. $ for drinks are expensive but who cares you're in Vegas.
ROOM: 4/5
Ok First night I was upgraded to a GO room because my KING FAB LUX w/STRIP VIEW was unavailable at the time. We arrived at 12am and the guy at the check in was super cool. GO room was awesome, clean, classy, no issues.
Pros: KING FAB LUX w/stip; 22130 , great view of strip. Room was clean, no bugs, Maid service everyday, new towels brought, Bed was comfy, (go room had a nicer bed) I didnt feel disgusted in the room like how some of the reviews had mentioned. Overall satisfied with my experience!
Cons: minor wear in bathroom, lighting was slightly rushed, door scratched, carpet outside the room slightly worn. Pressure in shower a little low, but was able to get clean no problem. None of the imperfections in the room would make me NOT want to stay there again. Walls thin, could hear people talking loudly occasionally. Again who cares, you're in Vegas to have a GREAT TIME!!
Casino/Atmosphere/Food 4/5
Pros: Outside flamingo atmosphere is so nice, so relaxing looking at all the water, ecology, and trees, plenty of shade, plenty of great spots for pictures, just a real vacation feel, loved it. Food choices in food-court low, only 4 restaurants, but were great for a snack or quick bite, $ ok. Casino as we all know is older but still fun, They have a Maragrittaville in there and that is AWESOME, food was fantastic.
Cons: The casino is older, construction between flamingo and ballys is a pain/loud, cab service not very great because of the road cutting through flamingo is closed so cabs have to drive around to pick up/drop off. One elevator did not work. Again, nothing in this place would make me not want to come back.
Conclusion:
- Look if you book here expecting it to be like a Cesars or Belligio quality casino then you are foolish person. It was a great experience, I have no idea why so many people complain about this place. If you don't like to party, loud noise, immature/funny people, fun atmosphere, meeting new people then Flamingo is not your place. If however you do, you will be pleasantly surprised as I was. I never write reviews but after reading all these picky, mean, snooty reviews about this place I had to tell my story.
Hope this helps for the future flamingo guests!!
