The casino is fine enough. There are enough table games and slots to satisfy the average player. The adjacent Margaritaville Casino offers a themed option if you’re hankering for that sort of thing. We found some $5 tables in the morning and early afternoon. Most games jumped up to $10 and above like strip casinos tend to do.
Another, somewhat surprising, plus is the quality of the pool(s). They offer two. The Beach Club is a “family friendly” environment while the Go Pool is adult only and offers a “lively pool party experience”. If you’re not sure if a party pool scene is for you, don’t worry, the GO Pool is advertised as a “friendly pool environment”. I’m not kidding. I went to check it out and was not yelled at upon arrival, so it’s seemingly honest advertising.
Overall, the stay was fine, which is exactly what I was expecting. The Flamingo doesn’t have the “Wow!” factor some of the mega resorts do. But, then again, it doesn’t need it. Clean, serviceable rooms at an affordable rate in a good location are more than enough for this Vegas Fanboy. And that’s exactly what the Flamingo delivers. If you’re loyal to Caesars Entertainment Properties or simply looking for way to experience the strip on the cheap, the Flamingo is a pretty good bet.
