| - In 2003, the Flamingo had penguins on display. That's enough for a 5 star rating from me.
Unfortunately, the penguins moved when I went in 2007.
I have stayed at the Flamingo probably 10 or so times, and the rooms have always been nice. The view, however, was exceptional. Most of the time we had a perfect view of the Bellagio fountains, and it was great. It was really interesting to see from a higher view.
The pool at the Flamingo is very nice. It's a perfect 'laze away and tan' pool with scenic falls and nice foliage. I also enjoy the gardens and birds they have on site.
The location of the Flamingo is also nice, it is HARD to miss due to its illuminated bulb logo, and it's right in the center of the action. It's an older hotel, and the buffet and restaurants kind of show their age, but it's very relaxed and chill.
My friend and I got two huge flavored margaritas at one of the bars for $3, and they were delicious. We went outside and lounged on chairs under palm trees. It wasn't typical Las Vegas, but it was nice.
