I was really nervous after reading so many bad reviews! I have to say we were very pleased with our stay. We booked a Go Room with city view through a third party. Upon arrival we opted to upgrade to a Jr suite. It was on the 8th floor. Mini fridge and single cup coffee pot. Soft comfy bed and pillows, nice couch/lounger and a safe. Two big screen TV’s. We go to LV to explore/gamble, not to spend a lot of time in our room, so it was perfect for us! The very friendly check in desk asked us if we wanted daily maid service. We said no but they came every day anyway which was fine because we needed towels and coffee so…..also had an issue with the safe (operator error ?????) and maintenance came within 20 minutes of my phone call. Please see pictures for amenities. The only negatives I can think of are the resort fees that includes WiFi, which I could never connect to. Only two devices allowed per room for WiFi. Apparently there are instructions in the room, but none of us had said instruction card. Could I have asked someone? Yes. But it obviously wasn't that big of a deal. Hit and miss on the room key for the elevator, but again, not terrible. It worked more often than not. The 21 and older pool was closed as they are tearing it up for a new one but we had the option to go to The Linq. I always take earplugs so noise wasn’t an issue. We liked the central location of The Flamingo and would definitely stay here again.
Great stay!

I was pleasantly surprised at the Flamingo hotel. After reading through the many bad reviews I was worried but we had a great stay. We opted for a Flamingo room and we had a great room on the 8th floor with a view of the strip. The room was clean but not spotless. The bathroom is a little bit grubby and could do with a good scrub but apart from that the room was nice. I am a bit of a hotel snob but for the price and location of this hotel it met my expectations. The hotel is located right on the strip which is super convenient within walking distance to most things or the monorail connects all the way down to the MGM which we used many times. We did not use the pool area but it looked okay, always busy. We had one issue on our last night at the Flamingo, it seemed the battery in our room door and gone so we were un able to access our room. We headed down the reception where we were greeted with the 35 minute wait check in queue, it would be great to have a separate desk for guest services. Once we made reception aware of the issue we had maintenance at our room within 15 minutes and it was all sorted. If I was to return to Las Vegas I would definitely stay at the Flamingo hotel again! Thanks for a great stay ??
Flamingo still GOOD

Disregard all negative reviews. Flamingo was everything nice . The only negative experience was TRIP ADVISOR advertising rates Flamingo did not honor Be cautious when booking that you know exactly what the daily rate is. They have so many confusing emails that tell you what the Resort rate is but never Exactly Give you the daily rate until you check in We were lured by Trip Advisor rate of $24.00 per day and the hotel doesn’t gave a clue about this. All in all our stay at Flamingo was great. Just read fine print.
No hot water, no house keeping, wrong room, no compensation
Saaaraaahhhh (Blainville, Canada) on Oct 04, 2024
We were there for 3 nights and everything went wrong. First we paid for a room with a view of the Sphere and we did not get it. Second, house keeping only came once even though we asked to have it everyday. Third, there was no hot water following a plumbing work. Therefore, we couldn't shower after a long day at 105F. We were hoping to have our shower in the morning after (at least) before our flight, but still NO HOT WATER in the morning. We complained on the phone and then at the reception downstairs and they did nothing to compensate us, they said "we're sorry".
Good Overall

Overall, good value for money. The rooms are ok, but the bathrooms needs a complete renovation. They're falling apart and feel extremely tired and dated. Some of the wall paper in the room was peeling off too. But the bed was comfy, location was great and the vibe was good!
