The Flamingo Hotel and Casino is one of my favorite places to stay while in Vegas for many reasons. First, it’s in the center of the busiest and most exciting intersection on the strip. It’s located walking distance from The Bellagio, Ceasars Palace, Bills, Ballys, The Reprehensable Imperial Palace, Harrah’s, Paris and many others.
Also, it’s a very good value. Being in the middle of this great intersection it’s still possible to stay here for $60 a night. AND.. if you’re part of the Total Rewards club you’ll stay for free … A LOT! Usually, I’ll log into Total Rewards and get 5 nights free. So what I do, is schedule the 5 nights free in the standard room… then when I check in, I upgrade to the “Go Room”
which they offer at a discount at the front desk.
If you know what the $20 trick is, forget about it… it won’t work here. But, if you’re spending $25 a night for a “Go – Room” you’re getting an exceptional value.
NOTE: Next door is Bill’s… check it out. Also, right around the block from The Flamingo are 2 great places to check out. If you walk 1 block behind the casino there is a strip mall that has a great, relatively unknown Italian restaurant called Battista’s. Definitely a favorite for me. Right next door to Battista’s is a little bar that serves a Miller Light in a bottle and the best hotdog ever for $2. This is the place to be if you need to eat cheap.

Aspiring singer/songwriter from Austin, TX. Would like to someday travel the world playing music and visit Las Vegas as many times as physically possible before I die. I love playing Texas Hold'em but don't do it very well.
I’ve been playing guitar since the age of 10 and am currently recording some songs at Wonderland Studio in Austin, TX.
Unfortunately, I do not read music and cannot provide you with any of the tabs to any of the songs I play. However, I will tell you that I frequently use a double dropped D tuning.
Influences: Glen Hansard (the frames, the Swell Season), John Mayer, Bob Schneider, Doyle Bramhall II, and Monte Montgomery.
[..YouTube..] nice room
[..YouTube..] is it the one located near kuala lumpur ?!?!
[..YouTube..] unfortunately no, this is the one in Las Vegas
[..YouTube..] Nice room…what did that set you back a night???
[..YouTube..] well the trick is, get the standard room, then when you check in they ask if u wanna upgrade. It’s +$25 a night when u upgrade. So usually, it costs about $75 a night total
[..YouTube..] the flamingo like most hotels in vegas looks nice from a distance, but when you get up close the rooms are dilapidated, and dirty lol. i stayed there. to get a really nice rom you have to spend rediculous dollars in vegas, although it might be a bit better now that visitation is way down.
[..YouTube..] @bobostonepony I just now upgraded to a go room for 25 a night…however my deluxe room was already discounted to 35 through hot deals so total a night was 60
[..YouTube..] what’s the name of this song? =P
