The next day, Brent moved us again to 28090 and 28092. He stated the rooms were on the executive level, which are larger rooms, more newly remodeled than the 4 prior rooms we had been in and the rooms had a nice view of the strip. The only thing that was true about what Brent said was that the rooms had a nice view of the strip. Once again, room 28090 had broken and missing buttons on the TV and that room was SO much smaller than any of the other rooms we had been in previously. We almost found it comical that Brent said they would never put guests in a room that had buttons missing or broken on the TVs.
Well, I guess this was our “lucky” trip to Vegas since we experienced the impossible, (not just once but, three times) according to the rooming standards of the Flamingo Hotel. In room 28092 the room was larger than other rooms and it had a nice view, however one of the two fixtures in the bathroom had a broken light bulb; (no, not just a burned out bulb but a BROKEN bulb). I guess that explains why the inside of the shower curtain was speckled with mold and dirt and there were long black hairs stuck on the ceiling above the bathtub. Just another example of the stellar cleaning job done by housekeeping.
My husband and I calculated that we have been to Las Vegas about 37 times over the last 13 years and our experience at the Flamingo Hotel was, by far, the worst hotel we have ever experienced. What even made the situation worse was the fact that we had three other people with us who had never been to Las Vegas before so, the Flamingo Hotel failed miserably at making a good first impression.
My only regret is that I didn’t have a camera with me to document these issues with pictures. Even though the closet doors in 14033 are now fixed, the broken light bulb in 28092 has been replaced and hopefully the shower head in 14042 has been repaired by now, I’m sure you could still enter these rooms to find broken buttons on TVs, scratches on the furniture, stains on the carpet, dirt and mold on the shower curtain and yes, possibly even the hairs on the ceiling over the bathtub may still be there for your viewing pleasure.
Hopefully these room issues will be rectified before the next unsuspecting hotel guests arrive at the Flamingo Hotel for a supposedly fabulous stay.
I can assure you we will never stay Flamingo Hotel again and I will be certain to post my comments about this hotel on line for everyone to read.
