The Worst Las Vegas Experience Ever?

Is this the worst hotel review ever?

I get plenty of hotel reviews from readers every day and as with anything on any given day the best could seem like the worst and the worst can seem like the very best. Some people love the Imperial Palace while others cannot believe the place still offers a place to sleep. I have people complain about the luxury of the Bellagio and the darkness of the corridors of Binion's downtown. Other readers love Circus Circus and would never stay anywhere but the Four Queens.

Reader Caddy shares her experience at the Flamingo Hotel and it makes me wonder just how many people have had experiences similar to these at Las Vegas hotels. Read her review of the Flamingo Hotel and leave a comment, have you had it this bad?

I have stayed at the Flamingo more times than I would like to admit. My children love the pool area and I like the proximity to everything on the strip. I last stayed there in August of 2008, I did have a problem with my rooms and I also opted to have my room changed. In defense of the Flamingo, I switch rooms like most people shower, it's part of the job description. I am not sure if this particular visit had me moving because of a bad odor in the room, a crusty carpet or a view of the Imperial Palace parking lot. I took a picture of a broken vent in the shower only because I take pictures of most things in Las Vegas.

Readers have submitted quite a few reviews of the Flamingo Hotel, so take a look and tell me what you think. Is it as bad as Caddy suggests or do you have a better story?

I am a fan of the Flamingo Hotel because it is convenient in the Summer months and the rates are very good for the Las Vegas visitor who does not have deep pockets.

What is your opinion?
