Rooms were okay, nothing fancy. We didn't ask for a special view, but we could see the LINQ High Roller wheel and the zipline from our window.
PARKING gets 2 stars-Parking garage was older, seven floors high, with places designed for small to compact vehicles. Some places in the garage you couldn't turn around so you would have to back out from where you were. It was very full and spaces were tight. We parked on the 7th floor, which did not have direct access to the elevator. We had to go down a small flight of stairs with our luggage. If we would have needed accessible parking/access, we would have been in trouble. Plus it was $15 per night.
We LOVED the location of the hotel. It was right in the middle of The Strip and adjacent to the Promenade, which had lots of shops and restaurants. It was also a short walk to the Bellagio fountains which were wonderful to watch each night.
The food court inside the hotel was okay.
Carlos and Charlie's restaurant was a pleasant surprise. The food was great, but be sure to read your menu. Chips and salsa cost $7.50.
The buffet in the Flamingo had a lot of options for brunch. Go hungry and pace yourself.
Just check online before you travel for deals on rooms and food. The price of our room dropped almost $100 the week before we left, just enough time to cancel and re-book without a fee. You can also get Groupon specials on the buffet and most attractions.
Suggestion for the hotel about the sales people who try to get you to go to a timeshare presentation, I would rather be given a brochure that I can look at in my room and choose a reward for attending your breakfast/info session rather than feel pressured to make decisions in your lobby after I just drove 6-7 hours to be there for a relaxing and fun vacation.
