text: I stayed at the Flamingo back in July for my birthday trip to Vegas I was excited to stay around that area of the strip because I usually stay on the south side of the strip I came in on a Thursday afternoon around pm and there was about people in line in front of me It took over an hour for us to get up to the counter and there was people working behind the counter So I do not know what the wait time was about Once I got checked in I went up to my room which was nice and clean My only complaint about the room was the bathroom sink had a foul odor coming from it I did not realize until the last night I was there that there was a rim of caked on mildew around the drain But other than that everything else was clean in the room The view from the room was the back of the hotel Even though it was not a view of the strip it was still a view of something which was nice because I have stayed in hotels where the view consist of a building air conditioner or of another wall nI liked that the window went from the floor to the celling that was pretty cool The casino was to my surprise smaller than most other casinos in other hotels The parking lot was ridiculous you think that its a one way aisle in the structure and its not there are areas where you can turn onto another aisle but no stop signs i would not be surprised if fender benders happen in there on a daily n Besides the parking structure the long wait to check in and the mildew in the sink I did enjoy my stay at the flamingo and would recommend it to a friend its in a great location Walking distance to Mirage Bellagio Harrahs Ballys and small street shops Its also close to the Monotrail
