First and foremost, it’s important to know this is considered a budget hotel in Vegas. It’s older but kept up for the most part. The Flamingo sanctuary was nice and the surrounding area was plentiful, filled with an array of restaurants and shops along with nicer hotels such as Caesars Palace and the Bellagio. The rooms…very basic. In fact, we had the executive suite on the 28th floor so we expected that the rooms would be nicer. They weren’t. Not even complimentary waters or coffees or frankly, anything that made you feel a bit more welcome.
The pool is awesome - in the pictures. What they don’t tell you, if you want a lounge to sit in, it’ll cost you. If you want to go to another part of the pool, it’ll cost you. There are no tumblers, water bottles or cameras of any kind allowed (yet you can bring your phone). Why? So they can charge you. I’ve quickly dubbed this place the “nickel and dime” because they squeeze everything they can out of you. That said, in the end, it’s worth spending the extra money to find another hotel. We’ve stayed in Vegas many times and know that there are better options.
