Flamingo - Vegas

Anyone stopped here? Any helpful reviews or comments?

One of the girls at work wants to book it this afternoon.

No idea if this happens throughout the hotel, but the gaming area has 'coconut' scented air conditioning.  A nice touch if you like the smell but for me I can't even walk through the place

Bit outdated but central strip if you fancy gaming in Caesars/Bellagio etc. Found most of food outlets poor last month and a lot of building work in main casino when I was in there. Cardroom's rubbish too...

Very very basic, would advice her to keep looking

Is fine if you stay in a 'go' room which are new, stayed 3/4 times before and am back there over Xmas. Can't beat the location.

Despite what Simon said the card room is ok, lots of older people in the games and less young guns who prefer to populate the 'cooler' rooms so games are softer than average IMO.

Stayed in a Go room as well, liked it there

Also a random plus for me is that you can get from your room to the door of the casino on the strip in about 3 mins max, you don't have to walk through miles of casino to get to the strip like some of the bigger casinos.

shithole

I've never stayed there but know a couple people who have stayed in a GO room and been happy enough. From what I've read on VMB the general consensus is the other rooms are shit.

How old is the girl Stu?

If she's 20s/30s then PH might be the best alternative, you are slightly further down the strip but the casino would be much more suited to someone in that age range and when you throw in the food choices it's not even close.

If she's a little older then maybe Ballys would be a good alternative, the cost might be a little more but the laid back atmosphere and being annexed to the Paris which the older crowd tend to love could be a winner.
