Con:Too many trees around the pool; not enough lounge chairs some the backs were broken
We first reserved a standard room, but upgraded at check in for $109.00 for 4 nights to the 'Go Room', the room was clean, very nice and had a great view. The staff was friendly and when I asked gave extra shampoo, conditioner, towels.
The Flamingo is right in the heart of the strip, you have quick access to just about everything. Unfortunately the blow dryer was not too great in the room and the pool was nice with the exception if you want to work on your tan, you have to go early to get a good spot in the sun, otherwise you will probably end up in the shade, there are too many trees around the pool area and a lot of the lounge chairs the backs are broke so they will not support your back to set up, you would have to lay flat the whole time, we had to prop up the back of our chair with a sit up chair, which was an inconvenience.
The habitat is very beautiful, but is very stinky, especially at night. Also, the large frozen drinks in the big plastic signature Flamingo cups are $25, which I think are overpriced, due to you can get a ceramic Paris balloon cup filled with frozen drink for only $12.50, which is a fair price with a really cool collectible.
