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.
