I really want to give Flamingo 5 stars. This is my third stay here in three years.
I've been patient and stayed through the renovations and mess in previous years. I've recommended the hotel to anyone I know who was coming to Vegas.
The rooms are clean, casino is safe and friendly, room service is efficient, hotel staff are professional. The lobby is bright, clean and happy!
But the parking. OH GOD, THE PARKING.
The self-parking carpark is multi-level but the first three levels are for valet only. Every time I try to park after 11pm, I have trouble finding a lot. The carpark is dark and narrow and full of blind spots.
So I valet.
But after 11pm, the valet service gets full and only accepts Total Rewards 7 star something or other members only. No luck even if you are a hotel guest. HOTEL GUEST!
Now I have to go into the full carpark and get into all kinds of trouble only to find that the carpark is still full. And have to park at an "over-flow" carpark much further away.
So angry.
So so angry.
