New to Las Vegas!
 

I have just booked an Anniversary Trip to Vegas in Late Aug. at the Flamingo for 4 nites. This will be our first time in Las Vegas. I like to gamble, she does not. We both will fill our days at the Pool Complex which I have heard is Great. Questions.<BR>1. Where should we eat? I heard the rest.and Buffet was not too good at Flamingo.<BR>2. What room area should we request for the best views?<BR>3. Where can you get the coupons or Perks 2 for 1 etc.?<BR>4. Best shows for 4 nites?<BR>5. Are the free shows in walking distance? Belaggio, Mirage, Pirates?<BR>6. Does the Flamingo do anything for ones Anniversary ie. Champagne in the room?<BR>Anymore useful info. would be appreciated!

#1 For a &quot;special&quot; meal, I would always recommend Picasso at Bellagio. Pricey, but I thought it was worth it. For buffets, again, I like Bellagio and think it's worth the $32 if you like seafood and drink the sparkling wine (FRI/SAT)<BR><BR>#3) Showbiz magazine, hotel front desk, sign up fro slot clubs at the hotel where the show is at that you're interested in.<BR><BR>#4) It's all opinion but, Blue Man Group, Mama Mia, Mystere, O, all highly regarded, all pricey-no discounts. I've seen BMG and Mama Mia - loved them both. I got Clint Homes tix for 1/2 price and thought it was worth it, for 1/2 price. I've seen Penn and Teller in NYC and like them, they are at Rio.<BR><BR>#5) I'd say so. Walking distance for me. Flamingo is in a good spot, the shows you mention are pretty much on the same block - though Vegas blocks are huge.<BR><BR>#6) Mention it to the clerk at checkin and you might get an upgrade.

as very nicely if it would be possible to have a high room lookin over the strip because it`s your anni and that would make it so special...the pool is great..I liked the buffets and the Lindy rest...thought Conrads was pricey..Barbary Coast has a couple good rests.--and there is Paris...get on their e-mail web list and join slot club...they have bookles w/coupons all over..yes free shows are walkable..Flamingolasvegas.com is their addy..also the Big Buffet at Bally`s is good along w/the Stage deli esp. for bkfst...O`Sheas(part of Flamingo n the Emperial Palace side has aBurger King,Subwat,etc)..see or Mystere..GREAT----don`t know of any special thing they would do for free unless your a high roller...good luck and congats!....try lvol.comand cheapovegas.com for some more info...

so sorry for my typos..that is ASK and Imperial Palace..and BOOKLETS...

Just returned from Vegas where I stayed 3 nights at the Flamingo. Definitely ask for or pay to upgrade..My room was a 55/night discount rate I got on their website, included 2 for one at breakfast buffet, drinks, 2 for one at spa, but the room that I got was pretty standard, not at all fancy. Older beds, but it was clean. Essentially a standard hotel room. When you check in you should be given a discount coupon book called Park Place Connection and it has lots of discount coupons not only for Flamingo, but for their sister properties, Bally's, Paris, Ceasar's. I did not eat at any Flamingo restaurant except the deli for a quick sandwich one day. They had yummy looking cheesecake there. Ate at Mon Ami Gabi at Paris and Cheesecake Factory at Ceaser's. Not really anniversary restaurants in my opinion.<BR>Best shows in my opinion: O, Mystere, Mama Mia. Celine has opened at Ceasar's so that may be a good one to consider. <BR>Have a nice anniversary.......

We had a room on the 22nd floor which faced the Bellagio fountains and it was great. We had a wonderful view of the fountain shows anytime we wanted. The windows are floor to ceiling and really a pretty view. Enjoy!!
