Flamingo Las Vegas Review

Bugsy Siegel's ill-fated foray into Vegas real estate is massive, pink, and smack dab in the middle of the Strip. It recently wrapped a major room renovation that began in 2007. Today the elaborately landscaped, 15-acre complex of four pools is still one of the best in town, and "Go" rooms (which run about $50 to $100 more per night than standard rooms), with MP3 docking stations and 42-inch flat-screen TVs, are downright stylish. Be sure to check out the on-site wildlife area, complete with a koi pond and, you guessed it, a flamboyance of flamingoes. Pros : location; the pool lives up to its reputation. Cons : many Strip casinos are more engaging; regular rooms are pretty old.

My wife and I love Las Vegas and would take 1 or 2 trips a year before we had children. One of our favorite places to stay was the Flamingo. We even honeymooned there! It had been 9 years since we had been there when we had the chance to go this June. Since it had been so long I did my research because I knew so much had changed. I checked out Fodor's 2008 Las Vagas Guide from the library. This guide was way too generous to the Flamingo. So was the Flamingo website. We were shocked at how worn the Flamingo has become. They have not maintained it well at all. Fodor's listed it at the top for Pool Scene. It was a great pool when we went 9 years ago but now it is dirty and not maintained well. We had to change rooms 3 times just to get an acceptable room. Finally we got a GO room that was very nice, but they made us pay extra. The Flamingo as we knew it does not exist anymore.

WOW-what a dump. The only way they could "REDO" this place would be how they did the Sahara-implode it. Rooms are old and tired, decor is vintage 60's trailer park and service is just sad. Food is as sad as the rest of the experience.
