SUMMARY: I think the Flamingo is great value for the money and if you're expecting a 3 or 3.5 star hotel with a younger crowd and a lively atmosphere at night I'd definitely consider the Flamingo with one of their GO rooms.\n\nThe Flamingo has a great location in the centre of the strip. There is currently some construction on one side as they have tore down O'Sheas and are working around the Imperial Palace however my room did not face this side so I don't know if the noise affects the guest rooms.\nWhen we arrived the valet parking stated it was already full for the day and it was only about 1:30pm. We came by cab so I'm unsure whether or not there was a self parking option however it's something to keep in mind.\nUpon check-in there was a massive lineup and we proceeded to \"Self Check In\" through their kiosks where we then discovered there was a line for all Total Rewards members (not just Platinum or whatever higher levels there are). This was something I haven't seen at other hotels so definitely bring your Total Rewards card and use this check-in/check-out line. This would definitely be a drawback from the Platinum/higher level members because they'll have to wait in line with the Gold-tier members.\nWe booked a GO room and my friend booked a FAB room. The GO room was completely renovated with a separate shower/tub, TV in the bathroom, Denon sound system, large flat screen TV in the bedroom, motorized curtains, etc. The FAB room was renovated EXCEPT for the washroom. It had some sort of faux wood floors. The room was nice but we all agreed the GO room was better (and it was less than the FAB room).\nThe casino is nice, clean and lively at night, filled with mostly young people at night. The downside is that it is busy at night if you want to play table games or one of the popular slot machines.\nWe found little to no noise in our GO room at night and couldn't hear any of our neighbours. Our AC kept the room nice and cool and functioned great. The room service appears to come rather early in the morning (before 9:00am), however we put out the \"do not disturb\" tag and were left alone.\n\nOverall I think the Flamingo is great value for the money. It's not a five star luxury resort and does not try to be, so don't book a room/suite there and expect it to be like theHotel. I'm not sure I would go for a Deluxe room because the cost to get a GO room is only a little more and seeing some of the dated parts of the hotel I can only imagine how dated those rooms are. I would stay at the Flamingo again in a GO room because of it's location and price, however if you're looking for a more relaxing/quiet experience in your vacation you might want to look towards a different casino with a more mature crowd. If you're expecting a 3 or 3.5 star hotel with a younger crowd and a lively atmosphere at night I'd definitely consider the Flamingo with one of their GO rooms.
