Nice hotel and did well on the slots. Would definitely stay there again.

I have not stayed here, thus I would not know if they hang dead cats in every closet. But as long as the "Triple Shot" game is in the Party Pit, I'll go here. the MOST FUN non-traditional casino game period.

I love it...The place seems to get a bad rap, but I cant figure out why...I love the buffet and I've won a little in the casino...Rooms are pretty good, and not to forget I stay free every year at a Harrahs property thanks to their comps....Got to luv it...

Good strip location, for seniors, I like this location, if you don't have a car rental staying here is good because they have great shuttle options to all vegas harrahs properties, great way to get to rio for a night etc.

It's not too bad of a place to stay. My room wasn't too bad, but hell I thought the rooms at the Riv my first trip were nice. The gaming is a wee bit tight, but heck, I'd rather go over to O'Sheas anyway.

Not a bad place, good local, cheap like dirty water, right beside the best cheapest beer in town (Casino Royale), I'd go back

Rooms are well appointed but small. The casino is cramped and stuffy. But the drink service is awesome...actually too good considering the lack of bathrooms nearby. You get an idea of why Harrah's has been so successful because there are plenty of low/mid level rollers who are having the time of their lives here because they're getting comped. There's a fun vibe in a place where people are losing but still feel like they're coming out ahead of the game.

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 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.

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 ;)

I've stayed here three 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!

If you are a medium roller and want to stay on the Strip - the Flamingo really cannot be beat. Tons of new restaurants, perfect location, bigger rooms than Harrah's, the Go Rooms and all that mob mystique. Too bad the slots are tighter than a strippers g-string.

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

this is where i stay when my cheapskate friends have bachelor parties and nobody wants to pony up any money. TIP: spend the entire day at the pool during the summer. shell out the $150 and get a cabana you will not regret it. plenty of eye candy walking around but without that pretentious bs you have to put up with like you would over at places like the palms or hard rock. there's nothing better than being a drunk adult pushing little kids out of the way so you can go on the water slide again and again. trust me you will go on it more than once.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Haven't gambled a whole lot here but the Go Rooms are phenomenal in my opinion, 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 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.

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.

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

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.
