Flamingo Review

[MikeyTantalo]

Considering that we checked out both kinds of rooms (refer to my previous post, lol), it seemed like the GO Room was less spacious than the regular rooms. Don't get me wrong though, I was much happier to be moved into a GO Room. Some personal pros and cons of the GO Room:

PROs

• The beds were incredibly comfortable and had 3 pillows each with varying firmness.
• The sound system came in hand when we were getting ready. I discovered 98.5 KLUC and 97.5 KVEG <3.
• The TV in the bathroom mirror was cool.
• The electronic window treatments were also a nice feature.
• Mini fridge was awesome to have... Especially when the only thing you want is an ice cold bottle of water and you are unable to stumble 6 miles down the hallway to find the vending machine.

CONs

• The frosted wall and 'door' of the bathroom. You could definitely see through them.
• The awkward bathroom sink. I feel bad for the poor maids that have to clean them.
• That awful striped wall paper. It's trippy.
• Not enough counter space in the washroom!

next time 94.5 is amazing!!!

I stayed at the Flamingo in September (comped) and didn't mind it too much. I don't mind that much when the rooms are old and not that nice. I care more about being center strip and not paying too much as I'd rather spend money on drinks, food and gambling.
The problem with the ants would be a different story...

Stayed at the Flamingo in Aug and was expecting this place to be a dump. But, it was a last minute decision to take the trip and it was cheap, plus a great location so we booked it. Upon check-in, we asked the girl at the desk if we could get a room with a view and while they didnt have any with a view of the strip they upgraded us instead. It wasnt a GO room, but it was a pretty nice suite. Wasnt sure how great of an upgrade it was until we walked by a room that basically just had 2 beds and a window. Had no problem with the staff and definitely didnt see any ants. Only negative was they took quite a bit of my money in the casino! haha And the cycle continues....
The year prior, I stayed at the Ballagio that is obviously much more fancy. But I would definitely stay at the Flamingo again and use the money I save on going out or gambling...
