Honestly, I'd have to rate the flamingo as just "OK". nothing about the stay stuck out to me as better than expected.

Lines for check-in were short but took about 30 minutes. The whole hotel (even the non smoking floors) smelled like cigarettes, and even after a couple days was still a bit of a pain to navigate.

The gym is small, and missing a lot of basic equipment, and closes at 6pm (so good luck if you want to run off the buffet!). The pool was nice, but very much made to make you spend hundreds of dollars. Cocktails were $17, a day bed was $160 ($60 rental + mandatory $100 food and beverage costs). It was only by blind luck did we get chairs to sit down, and the pool was WAY too cold to go in.

As much as the location is good, I don't think I'd stay here again. There was nothing about the Flamingo that was really a "kicker" to make it worth staying at. Especially when you have much more extravagant locations right next door.
