Opinions on The Flamingo?

We stayed at the Flamingo in November. Definitely stay in one of the
renovated rooms. We stayed in a room that hadn't been renovated. It
was very dated and left much to be desired.

The Flamingo is in a good location near the Bellagio and Caesar's
Palace. If you are looking for a great place to eat, try Smith &
Wollensky down the Strip. It is somewhat pricey but great.

Good luck!

The sportsbook is nothing to write home about, but I've found the lines they
post on games (baseball at least) are as good or better than pretty much
anywhere else.

We've stayed at the Flamingo 4 or 5 times, and quickly learned not to
approach from the Strip. If you turn North off Flamingo onto Audrie
behind the hotel, the first left will take you directly to the parking
garage.

I use Audrie/Koval for all the hotels from The V down to The Flamingo.

Yeah, we used the "back door" routes too -- it was still a cluster you-
know-what at the Flamingo, IMO. Maybe just because we valet rather
than self park? Maybe just too spoiled by easy access away from center
Strip?

Mirage sound like a good choice for your group... good pool, good
sportsbook, not a dump :)

If you have nay Beatles fans in your posse you are inlike Flynn! The
sweetie & I loved Love -- and I think the Revolution lounge may be
open now too?
