text: We stayed at the Flamingo for two reasons we have a young son who wanted to do the big water slide pool at the Flamingo and he did all day long my wife wanted to see Donny and Marie at the Flamingo The Flamingo water slide pool gets stars and Donny and Marie get stars even though I am not a DM fan the show was very entertaining and well worth itnnOtherwise we would have stayed at the Wynn or Encore because for roughly the same price the Wynn gives you a much newer cleaner nicer room and hotel The Wynn has a big pool but no water slide like the FlamingonnBut the Flamingo hotel and rooms get stars The Flamingo felt white trashy We stayed in a GO room with a view which is supposed to be a renovated upgrade from their standard rooms The hall way carpet was covered in stains The bathroom smelled and the sink was clogged when we arrived There are no tubs Just a shower stall The shower is supposed to have jets but if you use the jets the entire bathroom floor gets major flooding because of the lame lame shower design The bathroom also has a weird sliding glass door that is seethrough soundthrough and smellthrough There was a flat screen TV The hotel guide in the room is insufficient and does not give you a map or directions or hours to get to any of the stuff in the hotel If you try and call the front desk it is just like trying to call a customer service line There was a small fridge in the room The beds were comfy enough but bedding and ceiling this is Vegas had hot pink stains all over it Internet access was like day and did not appear to be wireless Checking in or out is like waiting at the airport luggage line nnThe buffet has okay but nothing better than a ChuckORama really The cafe was good but served the exact same food for the exact same prices as inroom service nnThe pool was good What used to be the pool a boring oval surrounded by statutes has been changed to the family pool Now half of what used to be the family pool complex including the largest open part with the water fall is closed to children under Starting at AM they open up the half of the water slide complex that kids can use which has the big slide nnUntil they do a serious renovation we will not return to the Flamingo because the hotelrooms are too nasty There are Hilton villas or something adjacent to the complex that get use of the Flamingo pool I might try and stay there next time because the rooms look to have what we want newer furnishingsdecor with a good jetted tub
