Flamingo




  • Room: (Expected Better)
  • Service: (Expected Better)
  • Pool: (Just Average)

  • We stayed here May 27th through the 30th. The grounds out back and the pools are fabulous. The casino is light and much brighter than many other hotels. Our room was larger than I expected with a small sofa, coffee table, desk, two oversized chairs, armoir with a nice sized TV and king sized bed. It was located on the 19th floor overlooking the Bellagio fountains. Last summer we stayed at the Mirage and I couldn't help but compare the two hotels. The Mirage rooms are beautiful and elegant. The Flamingo's rooms are standard but I am pretty picky and I felt they were more than adequate. We paid an additional $100 for a view at the Mirage, which consisted of a room that only overlooked the Venetian and Harrah's. There was NO extra cost for our view at the Flamingo which consisted of the Bellagio fountains, the Paris Eiffel tower, NY NY, the Monte Carlo, etc. The Mirage casino is beautiful, but very dark compared to the brightness of the Flamingo. However, the ventilation is much better at the Mirage, but when staying at the Flamingo it is so easy to access neighboring casinos. My husband and I like to visiting other properties and the Flamingo's location can't be beat for that. Plus, I feel the grounds with the pools, fountains, palm trees etc. are just as nice as what you'll find at the Mirage if not better. Yes, the Flamingo's bathrooms are on the small side and their elevators and carpeting between floors need to be updated and try to avoid the timeshare salespeople. Just tell them you aren't interested and that you are leaving town SOON. LOL! But the lobby level with casino, shops, restaurants, etc. appears to be all done with marble floors and is very attractive and well lit. All things considered I would definitely stay at the Flamingo again. Surprisingly, I would even chose it over the Mirage. At less than $50 a night, I would be really crazy not to. However, my husband and I want to experience other hotels and we may stay at the Monte Carlo or Luxor next time. I guess it all depends on where we get the best deal.
