I visited the Flamingo last week. I was there with my wife and two other couples. The overall hotel was clean. The go pool is a must for adults as there are no kids running around. We were unable to get a late checkout, but they did hold our luggage for us.

The worst part of the trip was our meal at Hamada Of Japan. I have been to Japanese restaurants in many states. Hamada is one of the most expensive. They charge an extra $5.00 for fried rice, and dont include a shrimp appetizer. Our chef did not put on a show at all, he tossed one egg and missed and then just cooked the meal. He dropped a lemon cut side down on the counter near one of the customers. He proceeded to pick the lemon up and squeeze the juice on to the fish.We then got our bill to find that they added an 18% tip to the meal as there were 6 of us. We had a few issues with this. We all had separate checks and they sat another family at the table with us. We complained to the management about the poor service and included tip. All she could say was "I am so sorry". I would suggest that if you are looking for a good meal that you skip this restaurant.

It's not the Bellagio, but it suit us just fine-I'd rather blow my money at the tables! We had gambled at the Flamingo on past trips. We love the casino. But this was our first stay at the hotel. We were not disappointed. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The service is good. The value is excellent. The location, close to so many other great casinos, can't be beat. The pools and the gardens are absolutely fabulous.

My husband were married in Vegas on June 26th. We booked our 5-day stay at the Flamingo through NWA vacations back in March. We were coordinating rooms to accomodate about 22 people including ourselves and our 5 kids. After booking, we kept checking TripAdvisor reviews for the Flamingo, and became a bit concerned about our stay because of all the negative reviews we were seeing.

In an effort to put our worries to rest and assure our guests everything would go just fine, I emailed the hotel guest services in advance of our trip, and communicated my concerns. I don't know if this made a difference, but our stay and that of our guests was fantastic.

The hotel was jam packed and booked solid. Per our request, they managed to get most of our guests in rooms close to each other (all on the same floor, many just doors apart). This had to be a challenge due to the fact our guests all arrived at different times and on different days. We all booked 'standard' rooms in spite of the negative reviews, and all of us were very pleased with the accomodations. Yes, things are a bit dated on the standard floors of the hotel, but to us, that just adds to the charm of the classic Las Vegas experience. If you want puff and fluff - go to the Venetian or the Bellagio or the Palms. The rooms and customer service exceeded our expectations. For example, our room was missing a remote control for the TV. I called guest services, and within 5 minutes two different people arrived at the door to fix the problem. another of our guests had an issue with their air conditioning, again - within a few mintues, a serviceman showed up to fix the issue.

Our only complaint would be that of the pool area. The pool itself was beautiful and kept miraculously clean and refreshing under the circumstances. The temperature in Vegas during our stay hovered around 105 degrees during the day - reaching a high of 112. We had several kids with us so we planned on making very good use of the pool to relax and keep cool. The service out there was good - but the problem was the THOUSANDS of people they allow in the area to use the pool facility. Huge drawback when hotel guests can't find pool space at their own hotel. The Flamingo shouldn't allow guests in the pool area who are not staying at the Flamingo. It was too crowded, and in that kind of heat, people get real crabby real quick. I do have to say that in spite of the crowds, the wait staff and hotel staff did a pretty good job of maintaining their cool and taking care of those of us who appreciated them!

Overall - I would definitely take advantage of the reasonable rates and very fun atmosphere of the Flamingo.

WE had a smoking room.. the only negative about the room is that the windows didnt open so it did stink, but i bought air freshener and it was all good!
No fridge!
Make sure you book a GO Room its worth the extra money!
Shower is awesome! Didnt wanna leave it! Has super pressure!
Would def stay again... staff helped out with putting us on the same floor as our friends!
