text: The Flamingo is one of the few surviving hotels from the old Vegas daysand it shows nnThere is nothing flashy about the Flamingo Short of the presence of the casino it does not even feel like Vegas The Flamingo has become an institution unto itself and short of getting a free room for my visit I rarely ever even step foot inside the hotelnnHowever you cannot justify destroying one of the few remaining icons from old Vegas Visit the Flamingo if you have never been to Vegasheck stay there even The rooms are decent but I had a problem with cell phone reception with a pool view room nnNo great restaurants inside of the hotel but it is close enough to every other hotel that it makes walking the Strip an easy task
