I didn't stay in the hotel so this review is strictly for adventuring, sightseeing, and service.\n\nA couple of punk rockers on a whim decide to go to Vegas with very little money. As far as the Strip Casinos were concerned the Flamingo was the best that we explored.\n\nYou can take the elevator to the top with no key, which allowed us to get cool views of the city. There is a little courtyard area with flamingos, koi, turtles, ducks, and swans that we wasted some time in that was pretty neat.\n\nWe played some cheap slots, tipped our server $5 each and she brought us two strong drinks at a time every time she came by, which was awesome because at the other casinos that didn't even warrant servers coming back very often.\n\nAs far as playing blackjack goes, yeah the rules suck and you're being ripped off. I played for awhile knowing I was going to lose my money but I played because unlike the other casinos (even the El Cortez which is where it's at for good blackjack) the dealers were friendly, helpful, and funny. Everywhere else the dealers were dead eyed and barely spoke and you were playing your games in complete and utter silence. Which was kinda creepy.\n\nAll and all we had a lot of fun screwing around at the Flamingo.
