First off, if you have to stay here, book through Chase Ultimate Rewards - lower rates, no resort fee ($20 a night savings) and they give you a $9 per person continental breakfast credit for Club Cappuccino. The rate was good, and the location is hard to beat. The GO room product itself is pretty nice - newly renovated, some new tech (motorized blinds, tv in the bathroom, sound system). Our room, however, was pretty worn out - scuffs on furniture, broken furniture pieces, etc. Housekeeping was also inconsistent - our first day, they didn't clean our room, but provided us with the extra toiletries we requested.
The Flamingo's parking garage is a nightmare - very confusing layout, slow, and trashed elevators. **Tip** The hotel/casino connection is on the 3rd floor. Arrived for check in around 11:30 pm and the line was pretty long... it took us over 40 min just to check in. Wear and tear is evident throughout the hotel. I know the Flamingo is one of the Strip's older hotels, but just b/c something is old, doesn't mean it has to be busted up - broken elevators, dented buttons and furniture, clogged plumbing. The pool area is a redeeming quality - we checked out the GO pool, which is the 21+ pool area - nice chill place. Overall, I would recommend spending a little more to stay at Monte Carlo, NYNY, or Luxor.
