These days, The Flamingo is a huge, upscale tropical themed palace - not a mobster or moll in sight. The gaming area wanders and meanders throughout the property so there are lots of different sections in which to spend your money but the overall feeling is pretty good. This is also one of the few places where you can still find low limits on blackjack tables, although they are becoming more rare here as well. To be honest, this isn't a place that we spend a lot of time gambling in but not for any good reason other than there are places that we like better. Different sections of the hotel have different room configurations due to years of renovating existing structures or adding new ones.
Most rooms are larger than average with comfy furniture and all the standard amenities.
Don't be expecting anything exceptional or unusual unless you want to go up-market to the suites that are large, luxurious, and stunning. Dense tropical foliage frames the area and there are even live tropical animals including penguins and, you guessed it, flamingos. There are several restaurants on site plus a showroom and a health club. If you're really into committing to Vegas you can buy into a time-share. Coming up with a score for The Flamingo is difficult because there is no reason why it shouldn't be in the top 10, but it just barely squeaks into our top category.
