I have been to Las Vegas twice before this visit. Each time I have stayed at Bally's. Last year, I noticed the significant age difference between the crowd at Bally's and the crowd at the Flamingo. So this year, I thought, hey wouldn't it be cool to stay at the Flamingo where there seems to be a party going on 24/7? Right about the party, wrong about the rooms. The rooms were below average and quite frankly disgusting. My boyfriend insisted on a smoking room, so I don't know if that makes a different in the nastiness grade. The first thing I noticed was the blanket on the end of the bed. I turned it over to search for bed bugs and found a crusty, questionable, white stain. Gross. Next, I inspected the couch by the window. It was covered in cigarette ashes, so I turned the cushion over and was still grossed out by all the debris under the seat. The bathroom looked like it had taken me back in a time machine to 1975. The newest item in the bathroom was the dinky hair dryer. The light fixtures were missing pieces out of them and the caulking looked like the original. On a positive note, the pools were nice, but packed full. The grounds around the hotel are beautifully landscaped with a flamingo habitat and a duck pond with koi fish. They also have a Macaw parrot that is cool. All in all, it was an fun place to play, but not an ok play to stay. I will continue with Bally's which is much nicer.
