STAY ELSEWHERE!!

I could make this review go on for 500+ words, all would be negative, but I will just say that after 30+ years of being a loyal Flamingo guest and Rewards member, this was my last stay. I stayed from Oct.4-12. The best thing was the Go room upgrade for nothing. After that, this was the worst! Customer service could care less. Management is just as bad. Employees all agreed with me and told me stories of how bad this place has gotten. My advise is stay anywhere else but here.

Unique Quality: Location is good!! That's it!!!!

Very poor service

Having recently decided to do our first trip to Vegas I felt strong enough over the terrible standard in service to write a review. It was supposed to be a 2 night stay to enjoy all Vegas has to offer. The hotel spoilt the trip.
We stayed at The Flamingo Hotel on the strip which turned out a huge dissapointment. If you enjoy standing in line for everything or waiting around for service, then this is the place for you.
We stood in line an hour to check in and then waited 45 minutes for our luggage to be delivered to our room.
As we had tickets booked for a show we tried to get something to eat before hand. After trying 4 restaurants and been told we had 45 minute wait for each one we gave up on that idea.
We had booked tickets to see the Donny and Marie Osmond show.
The show itself was marvelous and I would highly recomend this talented duo's show but having arrived 40 minutes before the start and ordering a bottle of champagne at $120 plus tax , we then waited an hour for the champagne to arrive after complaining twice.
By the time we got our pre show drinks we were 15 minutes into the show.
Having left the theatre we then went to our room to order room service. We rang down to room service to ask for a menu as we hadn't had one supplied to the room. The menu arrived 45 minutes later and then when we tried to ring again to order food we were then told it would be at least an hour delay. We only wanted a simple burger!
The general attitude of most of the staff when being served was very poor. The worst I have experienced anywhere in the World and if we dared to complain we got a total lack of sympathy from the staff and a complaint form shoved towards us.
This hotels staff only put a smile on thier face when the expected tip for service is offered to them.
I would not recomend this hotel to any travellers to Vegas.

Incompetent management

Check in went smooth. I get to my room on the 19th floor and the first thing I see is wet towels laying on the floor all around the toilet. Nice. I walk into the main room to call the front desk and the beds aren't made and the garbage can is overflowing! Nice. Call the front desk - they will send someone up with keys for a new room. Thank you. New room is on the 18th floor and it's ok. Old, a little beat up, beds absolutely suck (just a mattress on a metal spring structure), but it's clean and it will work.

Just get all my stuff put away and am getting ready to go to bed and someone is jiggling at my door trying to get in. I looks out the peep hole and it is a group of elderly foreigners. I yell out to them you got the wrong room. Apparently, they don't understand English. Whatever - I've got the deadbolt flipped over, they're not getting in. I get undressed and crawl in bed. About 5 minutes later, security comes busting into the room! Oh! we're sorry - there must have been a mix up with the rooms! Ya think?

Two nights later, I get back to my room from a show about midnight only to find my key doesn't work! Fortunately, there is a courtesy phone right across the hall from my room. Call the front desk. "I'm showing that room as vacant" the clerk says! "The room better not be vacant, all my stuff is in there and I've been staying in it the last 2 nights!" So they ask my name - "I'm showing you in room such and such (my original room on the 19th floor!)." Long story short, I spoke to a manager and asked if they are intentionally running the most incompetent hotel I have ever stayed at. She sent a security guard up to get me in my room and gave me a $50 meal credit at any of the hotel restaurants for my trouble. She says, "Just charge it to your room, but tell the restaurant to call us and we will take care of it." Fine.

The next morning, we started the day off by using up the $50 credit for breakfast. Yes - using it up - and then some! 3 people for breakfast - $63! I explain what happened to the cashier and that I have this $50 credit coming - she seemed very knowledgeable about how this works and assured me it would be handled correctly. Good. A few hours later, I return to my room and there is a message on my phone. "Please come to the front desk to take care of the $50 charge on your room." To say I had reached the Zenith of my anger with the Flamingo at this point would be a horrendous understatement! I called the front desk again, immediately asked for the manager and she assured me this charge would be removed - which it was.

In the end, they took care of things, but why did they happen in the first place? Either management here is incompetent or non-existent. There are much better places to stay in Vegas.

Flamingo Rip-off at any price

A rip off at any price! The window was broken spoiling the view to the fountain at Caesar's (room 11088), room noise (band) kept us up until 3:00 a.m. with constant base boom boom sound, the shower was broken - the water came out of the shower and the spout, instead of one or the other, the bathroom was very small, cleaners were still not finished at 3:00 p.m. when we left the room at 9:00 a.m., lamp bulbs were broken, service attitude in the snack shop was awful, the cost for two orders of fish and chips with two diet cokes was $45.00! Others in our party were so unhappy with the noise in their room they insisted on another, and spent time to make a move to a quieter room. The ironing board was worthless. The best thing about the entire place: fast elevators. Other hotels we've stayed in are fabulous for about the same price in order of excellence, at the top would be the Venetian, the Rio, Monte Carlo. I would never consider this hotel again.

Hotel with Longest Strip Tenure

We recently stayed 4 nights at the Flamingo while attending a wedding which was also at the Flamingo. We checked in at around 4:30 p.m. on a Friday afternoon and only needed to stand in line for about 5 minutes. I had read that there was an airport check-in but did not see it when we arrived. Other times throughout the 4 days we were there the check out line seemed to be quite long. The good thing is that they do have a queue area so that everyone gets served in the order of arrival (of course if you are a frequent guest you can skip this queue as they have there own special area.

We had a room on the 12th floor which overlooked part of the garden and pool area and part of the casino roof. I was surprised at the overall size of the room. It was very roomy with a king size bed, sofa, sofa table, and a chair. An older TV, but it worked just fine. The bathroom was standard size, nothing glitzy, but so what? The odd thing about Las Vegas hotel rooms is the lack of coffee pots in the rooms themselves. I suppose they want guests to spend money downstairs at the restaurant or coffee shop.

Housekeeping service was very efficient, but again we really don't need a lot of cleaning up in our room. I was surprised and actually disappointed that they changed sheets and towels each day instead of doing what more and more hotels are doing nowadays to keep up with the green effect. It would be a cost savings for them and ease my conscience.

No in room internet service, but $5 internet service in the lobby areas.

Unique Quality: The indoor wedding chapel we were at for the wedding was nice and we could actually view the wedding again (all 10 minutes of it) when we got home. The pools and garden area at the Flamingo are probably their top draw. It was nice to walk around the garden area and since the weather in late April was in the upper 70's the weather was just perfect (for me at least.)

The Flamingo Hotel

Right now, there is the Danny and Marie, the Osmond siblings, are performing at the Flamingo Hotel- which was just recently renovated. The building right now fronting the strip can post huge video posters of their performers.

Flamingo Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Las Vegas and to date, the hotel has gone to many facelifts and renovations. It looks great at the front! The flaming flowers and the neon lights are still there, famous for Flamingo Hotel..

Unique Quality: One of the historical hotels in Las Vegas. This hotel is one of the longest hotel in operation in Las Vegas.

The neon lights of Flamingo Hotel are very spectacular...

Hotel on the strip

The Flamingo was a brilliant hotel!
The facilities were amazing, A huge Swimming pool & some smaller ones with water slides going into them, loads of shops inside it, a mini zoo and it had its own Monorail stop. The Breakfast was a bit to expensive, but overall a brilliant hotel. I highly reccomend it.

Unique Quality: Again the Pool was amazing and if your lucky like I was youll get a window view of the strip, you can see Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood and thats just to name a few

Flamingo - GREAT location / VERY clean

We stayed at the Flamingo last year while attending a get-together in Vegas. We were there several nights and couldn't have been more pleased. The hotel is one of the less expensive options and its center-strip location is great. It was an easy walk to Ceasar's or Bellagio and we spent a lot of time at the bar in front of Harrahs! We had a lovely view of the air conditioning compressors on the roof, but how much time do you spend looking out the window of your hotel room while in Vegas?

Unique Quality: The pool area is gorgeous, but we ended up being too busy to ever make use of it. We did walk around the animal habitat, which was nice. The restaruants were okay. One day we got great service, the next, not so great. We found the buffet to be over-priced for what you got, but I will admit that we stopped in very late.

Check it out - this hotel changes the bedspread every time a guest checks out. That bed is 100% freshly washed when you move into the room. It's a very clean hotel.
