Flamingo Las Vegas

As part of a family vacation last summer my family stayed first at the Mirage a few days. We then rented a van and traveled to three national parks for a week. They were Grand Canyon North Rim, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park. We then ...

Pros: Very impressive pools, nice staff, decent room

My husband and I recently went to Las Vegas in honor of my Birthday. My Mom was kind enough to watch the kids so we got to get away and have a little mini grown up vacation. I highly recommend this to parents. It is nice to get away with your husband ...

Pros: Reasonable room rates, clean casino, comfortable rooms
Cons: Distance from Parking structure to hotel registration desk is too far!

When you mention pink Flamingos, one automatically thinks of those plastic flamingos that adorned many front lawns in California during the 1960's and 1970's. In Las Vegas, The Flamingo Hilton Hotel & Casino sits on prime Las Vegas property right...

Pros: Location, Price, Pool
Cons: Didn't win in the Casino, Lackluster show offerings

We just went out to Vegas for 5 nights during mid-July 2006 and stayed at the Flamingo Hotel. One of our biggest factors in choosing a hotel was the pool area (since we knew it would be about 100-110 degrees for that time of year) as well as we wanted a ...

Pros: Fast Elevators, Easy Room and Strip Access, Cool Pool
Cons: Unresponsive Bell Desk service, annoying timeshare sales people

Wow! Nothing better than an August trip to Vegas. This review covers the lodging part of our Vegas trip. I'll draft some other reviews to cover the car, food, entertainment etc . . . I'll detail our arrival and check-in, cover the hotel services ...

Pros: Location, value, view from the rooms, layout of the casino.
Cons: Maintenance mess in bathroom, and the fact that housekeeping never cleaned it as promised.

(Technically, the Flamingo is no longer part of the Hilton chain. But I can't imagine why this makes a difference.) In January, my wife and I decided to head to Las Vegas, so I could geek out at the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show. Since I ...

Pros: location, low-rates, wildlife area, room plushness and quality, safety
Cons: rude blackjack tables, rude staff service and check-in/lobby lines with long wait

...

Pros: Location, Pool, Elevator Service.

The Flamingo Las Vegas is a nice place to stay; nothing flashy, just clean, comfortable and affordable. The casino leaves a lot to be desired, but the rooms are nice, the location is excellent, and the pool is one of the best in Vegas. Location ...

Pros: Location, comp card, wild life park.
Cons: The staff, food, attitude, bellhops, shower in the room, basically everything else.

There are six sister hotels, Caesars, Bally's, Flamingo, Hilton, and Paris. We stayed at the Flamingo. We arrived at night, so we got the full glamour flashing light treatment. It added great anticipation to the stay. It was exciting pulling up in the ...

Pros: Good location, Affordable, Great Italian Restaurant
Cons: Impossible to get to pool, Poor customer service, High minimums at Table Games

I responded to an offer from the Flamingo for a reduced room rate in August. In order to assure my luck, I selected August 7-11 for a nice trip with my sister--it was a get-away that we both needed. So I booked two rooms and off to Vegas we went. ...

Pros: location, pool, a Las Vegas classic
Cons: the hotel rooms are definitley worn

Over the years I've stayed at the Flamingo 3 times. It has been going downhill each time. The hallways and rooms are in need of renos and if it keeps going down at this rate I'm going to have to give it dump status. The front and casino are kept is ...

Pros: Location is excellent, generally good value (excellent value with special rates).
Cons: Lacks activities on site, overcrowded & child-heavy pool, ridiculous casino-bar prices, lackluster gambling drink service.

My girlfriend and I choose the Flamingo for our summer getaway to Las Vegas (Monday to Friday, August 22-26 '05). We wanted a hotel that (as best for the price) was the most romantic, classy, clean, and which had a good amount of on-site activities. At ...

Pros: Location, price, pool area
Cons: check-in, housekeeping

I had stayed at the Flamingo in the early '90's before their rehab. We chose it this time because we were traveling in a large group and the rates aligned with the needs of the budget-conscious among us.

We booked the rooms through Orbitz....

Cons: Rooms are older, fair service, long wait for check-in, bizarre pool hours

Wandering through Las Vegas a couple of years ago, I happened upon the lovely surprise of a garden full of flamingos and other wildlife in the middle of the strip. This piqued my interest, and I decided to give the Flamingo hotel a try for my next Vegas...

Pros: location of hotel; consistent high quality service
Cons: no real "draw" like many of the other hotels
