Very attentive staff,Great Location. GO Rooms are excellent.Fabulous pool.

Had a GO! room from April 27-30 and was quite impressed. Up on the 17th floor, had a great view of the garden and Flamingo habitat. The gaming was good, though I didn't play any table games on the strip - only downtown. Didn't give the drink service a try here, though. The room was a novelty - the lights right over the bed were too bright for my taste. Shower door wasn't the best at staying shut, but it was clean and it was cheap. For Center Strip, you can't beat these prices. And if you have the extra dough to blow, eat at the Steakhouse 46. Don't get the caesar salad, though. Not a big fan. Overall, loved the Flamingo. Gladly stay here again.

Great Room. Great Price. Great View. Great Location!

I just love this resort. You can buy THE BEST char grilled chicken burger from the pool area. I swear it was one of the best burgers I had ever eaten.

Great pools, average rooms, easy on the wallet

Great location. GO room was very nice. It had a view of the fountains. Bed was enormous and comfortable. Room service was so-so. Only got 1 of the 2 breakfasts we ordered 1 hour earlier. Monorail station saves you a lot of walking. Overall great experience. Toni braxton got sick while we were there - canceled the rest of the weeks shows. I'll stay again.

Awesome place to stay, great location, and tons of fun.

LOVE IT! I stay there everytime I go. The "GO" pool rocks, and is the perfect location!

Since I have nothing to compare it with, I was very happy. We got the cheap "deluxe" room (not a Go Room", only because mrsdoopey didn't care for it (...old fart). But the front counter lady was real nice, and gave us a 19th floor room, with a fantastic view of the Flamingo tropical area out back.The only problems with the room were rusty lighting lamps in the bathroom, and a toilet that never really had the gumption to flush. But everything was clean, and had decent beds.The casino was nice, but I didn't really gamble there. As with other Harrah's properties, it's kind of a rip, with the 6:5 on a natural, and $10 minimums. But it was nicely laid out, and fun to watch.Would stay there again to try the Go Room though ;)

Love it, my bet on the Red Wings fell short though,,

I've stayed here four times, and while I've heard other people knock it, we've been very happy there. The casino is smallish compared to it's neighbors, but I like that. When it's late and I'm tired (drunk), I like finishing up the night in the casino of the hotel I'm staying in, and it's good to be able to find the right bank of elevators. The staff has always treated us very well, I sometimes wonder if people who write reviews ripping casino employees bother to be nice to to the staff. (Try it, it works! ) The offers roll in pretty good after a fairly small amount of play. we get offers for three free nights all the time. Overall a great value...one of the cheapest in the area, and a fantastic pool! My only knock is the blackjack table minimums are high...even in the slowest times. Boo.

Haven't gambled a whole lot here but the Go Rooms are phenomenal in my opinion. I am staying in a Go Room for at least two nights (hopefully all four) in July 2011. The pool is not Mandalay Bay's but definitely in a strong second place and there really are Flamingos here. I played blackjack here once, maybe I lost $20. Not very memorable on that front.

The go rooms are stunning, perfect for young single guys!

Loved the pool area. The rooms were nice and the price was right. Really big plus is location. Centrally located, it offers great access to the North and South Strip properties.

Great place..Always have a good time there..Rooms are decent , unless you go GO!! Then they are fantastic!! Plus you can't beat that pool..

Central Strip location,good views of the strip from our room. Buffet is very good with views over the gardens.

The Pool is awesome, location and Go Rooms!

Base Camp. We spend a bit more time in the room than most, so we always play it Go-Room. The place is slightly tired, and service can be spotty, but for us, the positives FAR outweigh the somewhat lengthy negatives. Still Hep-C free after a decade of hangin' in their hot tubs, so I got that goin' for me.

We normally stay here. The Go rooms are very nice. The pool area is great and it has a Sin City bar in the lobby. I don't gamble much at this place but it's located right between Bill's and O'sheas.

The Flamingo is will always have a place in my heart. It has a history unmatched in Vegas. Viva Flamingo!

First place I ever stayed.

Can't go wrong with the 80's music in the casino and at the pool. Gotta love the Flaming-O

Solid all around resort. Location is great, employees are a bit hit and miss, but that fits with the average style of the resort. They could definitely use a fresh coat of paint in some areas and perhaps a carpet refresh, but overall, its still a gem on the level that it sits on.

Great location and pool.

When we stayed here, the three of us had a great time. Good - Pool and Garden, Buffet, Location, and Staff were pretty nice to the three of us. The room was looking over the pool and high up, clean and in good repair.Bad - The extremely tight slots, cards

Not too bad of a joint. The Wildlife Habitat is a great place to decompress after a session at the tables.

The GO rooms are excellent.

I like the Flamingo. Stayed here several times. This is my second favorite Harrah's hotel. I will only stay in a GO Room. They are small rooms, but very comfortable with great beds and entertainment center. It's just a cool room. Love Margaritaville and the breakfast buffet by the habitat is good too. Great pool when it is clean. They sometimes have trouble keeping up on the pool maintenance. Casino smells like coconuts. I like the low minimum pink Blackjack tables by the front door. Medium lucky at cards, but no luck at Flamingo slots.

Center strip, good food, feels like Vegas... What more can you ask (for the price).

THIS WAS AN EXPERIENCE TO STAY IN ONE OF THE OLDEST CASION'S IN VEGAS,BUT ALAS I WILL SAY IT IS STARTING TO REALLY SHOW IT'S AGE. THE ROOMS AT LEAST THE OLDER ONES REALLY REALLY NEED SOME FIXING UP. THE POOL'S ARE SUPER BUT WAY WAY TOO OVER CROWDED THE LAST TIME WE STAYED THERE WHICH WAS 2007 MY SISTER AND I WENT TO THE POOL AREA AND WE COULD NOT FIND ONE EMPTY CHAIR SPACE NOTHING TO EVEN SIT ON. THEY REALLY NEED TO THINK SOMETHING OUT HERE BIG PROBLEM.IT WAS FUN THO AND FOR THE MONEY A PRETTY GOOD DEAL

I like the history here. Oh, and the buffet! Saw a good show once or twice here too. Good central location. Have I stayed here? Hazy.

It's nice, it's central, it's got a great pool, but I'm never excited about being here. People seem to be having much more fun at the stifling, confining casino at Harrah's than here. The "deluxe" rooms that have not yet been remodeled are still in good shape, are fairly big and can be a pretty good value. Try walking from one end of the floor to the other with the 4 adjoined towers. I counted 156 rooms on one floor. Bring water, you also need to walk back.

Nicer atmosphere than most; amazing pool. Major points for having Margaritaville adjacent. I also like the garden with the penguins, flamingos, swans, etc. And the Buffet is really pretty; it's one of the few on the Strip that I will go to, because of the waterfalls and tropical surroundings.

The go rroms are nice but i dont like how the a/c system is set up. the sensor thing sucks. I have gotten fairly lucky in the casino as well. DONT DRINK THE BLOODY MARYS!!! They are gross here.

I just stayed in this place in October and all I got to say is if your going to stay here definatly pay the money to get into a Go Room. It is sorta decorated like a love palace but the beds were superb. I actually didn't want to get outta bed because thet were so comfortable....if I could of I would of stole the bed.The casino floor was kinda confusing to me and I kinda did alot of back tracking but everything else was great. The staff was really good and was very helpful.

All of the neon pink makes me feel like I'm stumbling around Liberace's vulva.

Great Pool! Decent sports book. Marie Osmond.

The gambling is poor but the GO Rooms are decent and the vibe is pretty laid back.

Stayed here a long time ago now...maybe 10 years. It was pretty nice when I was there and the brother and I actually got upgraded to a Suite.

GO Rooms are pretty good, and I still like the pool and old vibe of this joint.I can do without Jimmy Buffet, Bad Blackjack, and tight VP tables. Still like the pool here alot. Usually can always get my room comped here. Nice old dame, but showing her age.

The Flamingo holds a special place in our heart - it was the first hotel we ever stayed in Vegas (back in June 2000) and we had a room overlooking Caesars. Since then, we had several smaller suites and then the Neapolitan Suite which was fantabulous! If you're going to go to the Flamingo - then definitely GO all the way

Last time we stayed there we got a kickass upgrade for nothing.They need to powerwash the place from the parking garage to Las Vegas blvd,

Another old dirty joint. Hardly ever have $5 craps. Some decent Fortune and Mini Pai Gow can be found. Have had luck on video poker here. And the beer is cold.

Old school Vegas with some cool modern flourishes.

Love the Go rooms...

The GO Room is quintessential Vegas at a shockingly average price. The history, the location, the pool: Flamingo is Las Vegas to me. If it's your first time to Vegas, in the words of Arnold "Get your ass to Mars (and by Mars I mean the Flamingo.)"

The Flamingo is my 'home' CET casino. It all started as a cheap place to stay on The Strip when I was a micro-roller. Now, my bank roll has increased significantly and I still frequent the Flamingo. Even when I stay elsewhere in Vegas, I still spend a night gambling here. I've come to know, and be known, by many of the staff on the casino floor. The pool is a huge plus. We'll see this year how the switch-a-roo of pools turns out.

I love the GO Rooms. I tend to spend more time in my room when I'm on solo trips (of which 75% of my trips are). Because of this, I love the ability to pipe my own tunes into the stereo (via cable and/or Airport Express) and the ability to watch my own DVDs. The showers have 'boobie-washers' which are great. Many complain about the lack of privacy with the frosted glass bathroom door, but it's never been an issue for me, even when staying in the same room with other guys.

The standard rooms, on the other hand, can be disappointing. If you're used to staying in a Motel6, Holiday Inn, or the Imperial Palace, you probably won't even notice. If you have a higher level of room standard in Vegas than you do in other cities, you will be sorely disappointed. Even the Standard 'Petite Suites' leave a lot to be desired. You get more space, but it's often wasted with a lack of furniture.

Overall, I recommend the Flamingo based on location, price and the pool!

Stayed in a GO room with another couple that we've been friends with for a while. Nice room for the price, craps sucks here bleh.

The first place I ever stayed in Vegas!

Location, Location, Location! A great jumping off point. The rooms are less than ( have not stayed in a GO Suite). The service is not great- almost surly in my experience. Why do I go back? The pool, location and price. And I have a sentimental spot in my heart for Bugsy. If you are looking for great payouts or great food this is NOT the place. The pool and the pool service is awesome tho. Its a central place to sleep. oh yea, location, loacation, location.

Vegas on the cheap, and it feels historic

I like the ducks..and the white fish in the cement ponds. Experienced my largest single slotmachine jackpot here..send money and I'll tell you which one it was (as if that'll help your odds);room was just OK..we had a great view of the air conditioning system on lower floors; blackjack games suck big green ones

stayed in the time share in back ....not all that but the room was huge..2 hot tubs ...nice

First the positives: Best location in Vegas. Great history. Relaxed gambling atmosphere. Decent drink service. Good players club and mail marketing.The Negatives: It is a downtown casino misplaced among the bajillion dollar giants. Smokey and just not up to par with it's brothers and sisters at the center strip. Spa and fitness facility are a joke... relatively speaking.I recommend this place if you have already DONE Vegas and wish to save a few bucks. If you are trying to impress your girl on her first trip to Sin City, do Bellagio, Wynn, Caesars, or Paris.

Rough around the edges, rooms need to be freshened. Some staff are cheerful and happy. Wouldn't eat here. Excellent location. Nice Pool

night before wedding....strange women approaching me at craps table.....they sure were friendly... convinced shady family members involved.... i sure hope it was not a $$$ up front deal...btw nothing happened..

Terrific mid strip location at very affordable prices. Nice spacious rooms with great views of south strip and bellagio fountains. When i stayed the big kitchen buffet was open which was a great value. Even without it though, id still stay here again. Also, the sterling brunch is Amazing.

Seriously, this place to COMPLETELY **under**-rater! I love staying here, I love gambling here, I love drinking here! Plus I shared a few other thoughts on it here: www.viceloungeonline.com/2011/04/ballys-las-vegas-pure-happiness/

My husband and I have stayed here since the demise of the Stardust. Good location, metro rail access, safe passage to Paris and Planet Hollywood( 3 fer one) and one of the last casino's to have a "true " deep end pool and tennis court. If you want to live big ,stay at Bellagio. I f you want a Vegas classic,the last of a dying breed, book Bally's .

Nice hotel but the walk from the Strip to the casino was a step too far.

Stayed here for two nights in July 2009. I upgraded to a North Tower room. It was spacious, clean and probably about 500 square feet.

I like the sports book and, although it is just a big rectangle, the pool is big and has a deep end, which was cool.

The gaming is unremarkable and not a huge fan of the dining option (except for the one time I ate at Bally's Steakhouse, which was very remarkable). But the hotel is attached to Paris, so I usually eat at the buffet over there once a trip.

A seat in the far back of Indigo Lounge, facing the casino and the band is kinda a hidden gem in this town.

Rooms were dated, but clean. The price can't be beat, and the casino is a great place to spend your money

I've stayed at Ballys several times. Ballys offers a good value. Rooms are nothing spectacular, but are large clean and comfortable. I always stay in the north tower deluxe room. Pool is not so hot, but the hotel is connected to Paris. We used the Paris pool, which was relatively nice. The steakhouse is good, but overall restaurants and shopping are limited. Jubilee show is worth seeing once. Price is right is boring if you don't get to play. I got to play, so it was fun for me. Decent casino. Not lucky here.

First hotel we stayed at in Vegas, so there's some nostalgia here. Great location, huge, clean rooms, Sterling Brunch.

Just good 'ol fun. Nothing too fancy but if you need fancy... it's connected to Paris.

not bad...great value.....great lo cal......older crowd....bartenders always remembered may drink order....but nothing 2 great to keep you there

Good sports book. Nice slots!

Nice casino, kind of small. It was the old MGM Grand. Nice indoor connection to Paris, and a great location on the Strip

Old school Vegas on the strip. See if you can find a dealer that was there the night of the fire and get some REALLY interesting stories. Also comfy but not overdone rooms and a great live music lounge right off the casino floor.

Love the sports book

The North Tower rooms are great. Not so keen on the South Tower.

I don't know what exactly I like about this place, but it has the feel of a classic joint that never turned into a dump the way the Sahara and Trop have. Jubilee is awesome too. Too bad it's owned by Harrah's.

There really isn't much to Bally's. The casino is quite small but more on the lines of a low roller like myself. Most days you can find a $5 craps table and $5 Three Card Poker. The Pit Bosses are not the uptight type.
I was also there during the Super Bowl last year. If you like the music loud and people enjoying themselves, then this is the place for you.

Central location is a plus. Stayed in a standard king room, which neither impressed or disappointed me. No luck in the casino.

Have not stayed here yet but have gambled here. I like the Keno area. Havent done too good on the slots here yet and I feel that the drink service could be better.

great location - old vegas style small casino - nothing special, but cheap.Steakhouse ok. pool so lala - far away.Location, location, location connected to the paris

A budget hotel on the center strip. Bally's rooms are old, but they're clean. Great location across the street from Bellagio. Bally's is connected to Paris by a shopping esplanade. Bally's production show is Jubilee - the last tradtional chorus girl show in Las Vegas.

I saw security kicking out hooker. I will never stay there again.
