Flamingo Las Vegas

The Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel is the Epicenter of Las Vegas Action

Flamingo at Night

What to expect at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino:

The Flamingo with over 3500 rooms seems a bit confused when you look at a resort map but you can overlook that because for the price you get a center strip hotel that has all the amenities that the mega resorts have. The Flamingo Las Vegas is where the modern Las Vegas era began and it is still visible in a casino that is right up against Las Vegas Blvd. and the plush gardens that have sprouted behind the large hotel towers. Walk among the ducks, the fish and of course the flamingos and forget you are right on the Las Vegas strip

What you might like at the Flamingo Las Vegas:

The location is perfect for walking to all the major casinos and the monorail. The newer towers at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino have inexpensive rooms that offer space and updated décor. The older towers look a bit more worn however; they are usually cheaper as well. The pool area is large and easily competes as one of the best on the strip

What you might not like at the Flamingo Las Vegas:

The Flamingo Casino is small and on a busy night it’s possible that you might not find a blackjack table. There will be a long wait to check-in and then you must make your way through a maze of corridors to get to your room. The room though usually is nice and affordable.

My suggestion for the Flamingo Las Vegas:

I know it’s not the real thing but Margaritaville gives me a sense of being stranded on the Florida Keys with nothing but alcohol and music. Spend an afternoon there and enjoy the art of doing nothing. You could see Gladys Knight but your best bet is the Second City comedy group.

Rooms at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino: 3600+ rooms in what seems like 12 towers but really is only three. A general rule to follow is the newer the tower the bigger the room and the better the accommodations. However, prices do go up with the quality. The décor is right on the cusp of tacky Las Vegas and I love that. Prices generally are just below $100 per night. However, if a big convention is in town the prices go up to around $150. It is not unheard of though to get a weekday rate of around $70 per night.
