text: Gross!\nSo, I labored over picking the right hotel for my three day mini vacation to sin city. My top requirements were a clean room, a pool with slides, and a hotel located on the strip. All of my searches for the best pools in Vegas came up with Mandalay Bay and Flamingo. The Flamingo is a classic and it boasted newly remodeled rooms and was significantly cheaper than Mandalay Bay.\nAs my title says, this room was gross! The first night I went to pull the sheets down, and I am not lying here, there was a used band aid in the BED!!! I called guest services and they sent a maid up immediately and changed all of the bedding and cleaned the room thoroughly. I should have upgraded or checked out right then. Because it only goes downhill from there...\nThe bed was hard as a rock. There was mildew in the bathroom. The TV was tiny and was so dim, it was unwatchable. The wallpaper was tearing. The furniture was scratched up. The sink fixtures were rusting. The ventilation ducts were filthy! Where in the heck was the Re-model? The carpet and Flamingo picture on the wall? Seriously? This \"remodel\" looks worse than Motel 6's remodel down the street that I stayed at last year because there were no other rooms available in the city.\nIf that wasn't bad enough, I find out that same evening that The Flamingo charged me $239 for the room. The problem is that I already prepaid for the entire vacation a month ago. I went to the front desk and asked why I was double charged and was told \"that just happens sometimes.\" Really? Well, that's a huge problem! That should never happen. Since I used a debit card, it took two days for that money to go back to my account. Sadly, for the Flamingo, I could have been gambling with that money in their casino, but I avoided their casino after that on purpose.\nI also was pretty disappointed that I had to walk so far for the shuttle drop off from the airport due to their construction. Where are the bellboys? I toted luggage so far from the lobby that it was ridiculous!\nThe first two days the weather was bad. It was cold and drizzling. So, I understand that the pool was closed. However, on the third day of my stay, it had warmed up nicely. The main adult pool was open and going strong with gambling poolside and alcohol sales in full swing. Unfortunately, the water slide area was not open. Why not? It was hot enough and there were tons of people.\nI just lived with it all, since I was out of the room most of the time and I was to check out the next day. I did stop by the front desk and informed a Supervisor of all of these issues, and he apologized emphatically. He offered to credit me back two days worth of \"resort fees.\" This is a pittance. I very politely asked for the hotel manager's card and forwarded this to her as well. I am certain that the Caesar's company can do much better than two days of resort fees compensation.\nAs of this review, the Hotel Manager has credited me back with the third day of resort fees and offered a free upgrade from a standard room to a \"Go\" room on my next visit. This is the difference between a regular (crappy) room to a fully renovated room. I do appreciate her efforts in what she has done, however, I think it is not above Caesar's Corporation to comp three days of a future visit IN FULL, in one of the fully renovated rooms or at another property of theirs.
