The Flamingo is very clean and basic. Not over the top like some of the newer hotels on the Strip. The rooms are basic size, the bathrooms on the smaller side and the towels are thin and not very plush. There is one side that faces the Strip and you can actually see the Bellagio water show from your window. The location is also terrific, right in the middle of the Strip. The grounds are well maintained and have ponds with ducks, flamingos, and koi. The pools are small but there is enough room for lounging on the sides. The casino is no frills. Separate slot area from the tables and a separate poker lounge. There are some nice shops, mainly clothing and trinkets. Sin City Brewery is on premise and has good (potent) beers and drinks. Checkout and check-in are ridiculous lines, but I guess that is to be expected at any hotel. The overall price is great - clean, fun place, good location, but not break the bank. Note that wifi is not free ($9.95). Make sure that any purchases you make you hand your Total Rewards card to get the point credits.

Played the Links Course for the first time and will not be back. The greens on the front nine were in terrible shape, like putting on the fairway. Started at 3:30 and still paid $32 for the round, overpriced.

Been coming here for years, first time I have felt threatened downtown this time by their head of security. New policy as of today, $5 for parking. Complained at players club, so they called head of security who said he disagreed with me. They finally called casino manager who refunded my $5. No signs on parking fee, girl at garage barely spoke English, abrasives security manager. Time to spend my money elsewhere.

Went in for a checkup on Wednesday. Saw the great reviews and hey, it is cheap for the checkup! But with insurance, I didn't have to pay anything for the first visit. It was actually pretty nice, I had scheduled for 3pm since I got off of work at 2pm, but that day I ended up getting off work early and as I drove home, they called to see if I wanted to go in early. Perfect! Got there, filled out paperwork. They already knew who I was as I walked in the door. Got me back right away. And they had 50 First Dates playing to keep me busy! The x-ray thing is uncomfortable, but the girl did the best she could do get them done quickly. Then I saw Dr. Cheng (the female dentist) and she was really nice. She was knowledgable and explained everything to me after the exam. The cleaning was quick and painless. Going back in 2 weeks for fillings, so I'll let you know how that goes! But for now, I would give it 4 stars. Good clean facilities, good location (Next to Sushi Bomb!) and great customer service.. very efficient. We will see how the fills go! Hopefully painless. THEN i shall bump them to 5 stars!
