We usually stay at the Flamingo when we are in Vegas. They treat us right and the gambling has paid off most of the time. The rooms are not new, but clean and the food is OK.

The wife and I stayed here on our last trip to Vegas. Even though it's been renovated, added onto, etc. This place still has that old Vegas feel to it. Just seeing the pink lights makes you feel like you're taking a step back to the mobster days.

Hotel- Rooms are clean and efficient. It's Vegas so how much time do you need in the room? Maybe a little sleep, a little "you know". They're clean and comfortable, good enough for me. Oh and NO RESORT FEE!

Slots- I'd stay away from them, as I do at most strip casinos anyway.

Table Games- The usual selection of craps, blackjack, mini baccarat, 3 card poker, and all the variations of these type of games. Most of the minimums seemed to be $10. There are better options on the strip minimum wise, but there are much worse choices as well.

Service- Very friendly folks working at Flamingo and most of the Harrah's family of casinos as well.

Food- Buffet is solid, not great but solid. The wife and I enjoy Margaritaville a lot. Touristy? Yes. Good food? It really is. Plus Maragaritaville has good margaritas and live entertainment most nights. There are a few other restaurants on site as well.

Location- Center of the strip. Monorail stop. Can't beat it.

Overall- One of my favorite spots on the strip.

My wife and I just got back from spending Thanksgiving at the Flamingo. 5 days/4 nights..all comped of course!

Payed small $ for great room upgrade..A few minor room glitches but $5 tip and note to housekeeping was all it took. Very friendly staff and casino seemed less smokey than our trip in March.

Machines "seemed" tighter, but when they are not being played as much, things do seem tighter. Food was a little overpriced again but drink service was fine.

Side note: Won't go again during a holiday..no one's fault but ours but my God!! NEVER SAW SO MANY KIDS IN MY LIFE! At times it seemed like we were in Orlando, not Las Vegas! This realy turns me off....not a place for kids I don't care what the reason is..it just takes away the whole "adult" thing.

But all in all...great time!

My wife and I just got back from a 5 day/4 night stay. Room was comped but we upgraded for a newer remodeled room for only $25.00 a night. Great Room!Huge 52" TV and a 13" TV in the mirror of the bathroom. A sports lover's dream come true!

Casino had good selection of machines in all denominations.Also had 2 Rapid Roulette tables at $2.50 minimums. What a great deal on the strip! Fantastic location. Right in the middle of just about everything.

Food was average and a little over priced but drink service was adequate. Will stay again on our next trip.

We were there summer 2005. Loved the animals outside. Too hot, but shaded. Shopping was best.



Everyone has to eat at Margaritaville once in their lives. The margarita volcano was tops!



Parking was way far in the back. Wear your walking shoes. Once you find the parking, stay around and walk down the strip.
