| - Flamingo is average- a homage to the days of my youth, when I used to stay at Flamingo Nevada hotels while on vacation with the fam. You get what you pay for- I didn't particularly have very high expectations for my stay here, so I suppose this hotel delivered. I quite enjoyed that I was able to get a fantastic deal on a mid-strip hotel room with a view of the High Roller, plus did I mention two complimentary ride tickets to the world's largest ferris wheel of the same name? Indeed, yes I did.
You can tell that the Flamingo did some rennovations, yet at the same time, there is still some work to be done. Our room was on the 18th floor, and while the overall room was very nice, the bathroom was really anything but. But alas. I didn't spend a huge amount of time in the bathroom- it had running water and a working toilet, so I was willing to let the appearance pass. Also of note and on the list for future renovations is the inside panel of the elevators. So run-down, they look like they are straight up out of a horror movie.
Walls are thin, but then again, I don't think that I've yet stayed at a Vegas hotel whose walls weren't super thin. I was here for three nights, and was woken every morning around 5am to some screaming teenagers in a room who knows where, but definitely not directly adjacent to mine. Annoying. Top that off with a tapping noise coming from within the walls that seemed equivalent to Casper's friends clanking chains upstairs, and I was a pretty happy camper come sunrise. Not really.
So, despite the somewhat negative review, I didn't mind my stay here at all- in fact, I would be tempted to stay here again. Really, a hotel in Vegas is only for sleeping at night and the occasional nap after you've eaten too much at the buffet. For all intents and purposes, Flamingo fits the bill.
