text: Trust me splurge on a Go room But be prepared for plenty of pink And a very very long line at checkinnnFor the money on the location the petite Go Room is all you need as a home base in Vegas Mine was immaculately clean upon arrival with crisp sheets and a comfortable coverlet on the kingsized bed nnThe Go Rooms are not for everyone though I was puzzled at first about the frosted glass surrounding the bathroom and the ambient pink glow that diffused through the glass I ended up using the bathroom as a tacky Flamingopink nightlight Since I usually end up leaving a light on in a strange place to keep from having a AM Where the hell am I moment this worked for me The bathroom door was on a slider which kept the room from feeling cramped nnA lot of the rooms space is taken up by the bath and there is a lot of little touches to make this space feel upgraded The shower has some additional jets but they cannot be angled so at my short height they were more awkward than luxurious I would have liked a tub but my room did not include one There was tons of hot water and great water pressure so no real complaint about the shower other than the lost opportunity to have it be just a little more fabulous The hidden television in the mirror was an amusement and kind of neat when getting ready in the morning Toiletries supplied were a touch better than average but I would recommend hitting the Walgreens up the street for an upgrade nnThe luxury room faced the strip The th floor had a spectacular view of Caesars palace and the Bellagio fountains But a strange screen material made the view hazy it took me a while to realize that the screen was the buildingsized advertisement for the Donnie and Marie show One of the best parts of staying at the Flamingo is that unlike Caesars you do not have to stare at that eyesore of an advertisement nnSoundproofing was reasonably good though I could occasionally hear a loudmouth next door The bed was comfortable And despite my repeated attempts to tip my maid money was never ever removed from the room I felt that my belongings were secure though if you have got really valuable items there is an inroom safe for them nnDeeply disappointing though is the wired internet charge despite a premium price for the room Wireless is also available for a similar charge Internet access is charged per device so choose wisely Phone service like most phone service in Vegas is insanely overpriced bring your cell phonennThe Flamingo has a small garden with its namesake birds and a few other unusual specimens a relaxing refuge from all the casino action The Vegas ghost tour stops through there at night to tell some spooky tales But late at night I was approached in the garden by far spookier panhandlers looking for a cigarette handout I doubt that would happen at Caesars and it make me question the overall security of the property Each night fliers were slipped under the door timeshare promos pizza parlors Nothing terrible but it appears that the Flamingo does not necessarily monitor things quite as vigorously as some of its sister properties nnI spoke with a few other guests when relaxing in the garden watching the wedding parties take their photos From what I heard some other guests encountered uneven service a diabetic unable to obtain a refrigerator for a regular nonGo room others complaining of subpar linens on the beds So not all rooms at the Flamingo are created equal and special requests might go ignorednnBut I would stay in a Go room again in a heartbeat The close proximity to the Strip and the relatively petite size of the property compared to a lot of the other megacasinos nearby makes this a great launching pad for your Vegas adventures Stock up the minifridge as your own personal minibar with a trip to the Albersons up the street and you have got your own personal haven from the noise and the bustle below when you need an escape
