I've stayed at the fancier hotel (Bellagio, Venetian, Wynn) but still love this casino, hotel and pool the best. Good vibe of regular folks having a good time. Pool is great with lots of lounge chairs, nice pool, great music. Flamingo is centrally located to go to all the other hotels. I'd definitely recommend this hotel. The room blankets are thin but other than that well worth the cost and value.
