This was my first time to Vegas so we decided to stay right on the strip. For the price, you couldn't beat the Flamingo. \n\nWe arrived late on a Saturday and to my surprise, the was a very short line for check-ins. We paid for the \"Go\" room, but for some reason they decided to upgrade us to a suite for no apparent reason; awesome! We received our keys and made our way up to our room. The room was beautiful and had a great view of the strip. One problem, it was already occupied! \n\nArrive back to the check-in counter and was greeted by a different employee. We informed her of the mix up and she got to work on her computer. After a couple minutes she informs us she didn't have any more suites and we weren't even supposed to get one. Fair enough since we didn't pay for it, but she came off very rude. We received our new keys and made our way back up the elevator. \n\nThe room itself was pretty average in size. It was the updated version so it has a flat screen TV and DVD/MP3 player with some other odds and ends. Although nothing special, I will have to say the room was extremely clean. I guess my only couple complaints were the weird sliding glass door on the bathroom and there was no fan in the bathroom. \n\nThe Casino itself was a bit dated and didn't seem to have a lot of floor space. I guess my only complaint would be the lack of food in the casino. Their food court only had three restaurants in it and only two were open, a pizza place and Johnny Rockets. The other non-food court restaurants seemed to close their door pretty early. \n\nOverall, the entire hotel/casino was nice. If you are looking to stay on the strip and not break the bank, I would recommend the Flamingo. If I could, I would give it 3.5 stars.
