Stayed: August, 2007 Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Flamingo. I only stayed one night, my last night in Vegas and decided to book one of their brand new Go Rooms. I absolutely LOVED the room. I'm a sucker for hotel room design and this had such a fresh mod feeling. If you are sort of a techie like me then this room is for you. Lots of gagets and things to play with. My favorite was the TV in the bathroom mirror. But equally enjoyed the 2 42" flat panel TV's, the electronic blinds and the 2 Denon stereo's.
This is the way to go, when I traveled the hotel was doing some renovations on other floors, it didn't really effect me but riding the elevators and stopping on other floors you can see the work being done.
My positives are that of course the Flamingo is right on the strip and in a relatively central location. Easy access to the Las Vegas Monorail (stops right behind the hotel).
My negatives - don't eat at the Paradise Garden Buffet. I hated it an still kick myself to this day for not going over to the RIO like I intended to. It was just awful. Nothing like eating crabsicles and the rest of the food was nothing to write home about. Second was the wildlife habitat. In August when it's at least 100 degrees during the day the animals tend to stink a bit. Even the water that the Koi fish were in. Something I thought I would enjoy turned out to be something i couldn't wait to get away from.
Overall it was a good experience but I would definitely choose a New Go Room over a regular room. It's well worth the money, especially if you find a good deal like I did! Liked: Location on the strip and for the monorail Dis-Liked: Buffet Recommended activities:
