| - We recently traveled to Vegas with a group of 10 people to celebrate birthdays and get silly in the desert. Mrs. M and myself have stayed at the Flamingo several times before and found it to be a good value In terms of price, gambling stakes and location on the strip.
When checking in for the love of God, do yourself a favor and use the self check kiosks. The lines are ridiculous at almost all hours but the kiosks always seem to be empty for some odd reason.
When checking in, Greg helped us out with the process but the machines went down so he took us into the private area for VIP's and there we found out that they lost our reservation for an upgrade to a Go Mini Suite. This was not good since our room was going to be the starting point for partying and we needed some space. I explained this to the check in person and she worked with her manager to get us into a junior neopolitan suite at the same price.
The room was great with two bathrooms, a wonderful view of the pool and garden area and a few couches to sit on while we had our warm up beverages. The only draw back was the smell of the hallway in the evenings which gave the aroma of cat urine. Thankfully the room didn't.
The casino is great at The Flamingo, the stakes are near the lowest you can get and most dealers are pretty cool. We were a large group and could get a little silly and most were tolerant of our loudness and occasional salty language, however a few did give us warnings to tone it down.
The pool is still beautiful is it was a few years ago, but the theme is very different with the booty shaking contest and people swimming around all loaded trying to hook up. I wish it was little more upscale and relaxing, but I guess they aren't trying to appeal to middle age people very much these days.
Checkout was smooth thanks again to the kiosks as the line up on Sunday morning was crazy long. The same fellow who checked us in, Greg, was there to help. When I was done I tipped him and asked if he could help to get my wife to the front of the bag check line and he was more than happy to oblige so I could get back to some final partying with my brother who was set to leave in a short time.
Flamingo I love you, you introduced me to Vegas almost 10 years ago. Although you have changed over the years, you still create wonderful memories for myself, my wife and my friends and family. I can't wait to come back and there is no doubt I will stay there again.
