The hype
The location is perfect and the pool is a blast, but the rooms are showing their age and the elevators are a nightmare.
Flamingo Las Vegas
$30-150 (base) + ~$57 resort fee/natt
Bestill dette hvis You want to be dead-center on the Strip for cheap and plan to spend 90% of your time at the pool or drunk.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Unbeatable center-Strip location across from Caesars
- The 'Go Pool' is a legitimate high-energy day club without the $100 cover
- Nostalgic pink neon vibe that feels like classic Vegas
Hurtig oversikt: The 'Dirty Bird' nickname is earned—expect a phenomenal location and a fun pool, but lower your hygiene standards immediately.
Gjennomgått av @Rebeccave: I stayed in this Flamingo room and honestly, it’s the ultimate budget-friendly spot. The pink closet is adorable for photos, and having a view of the High Roller made the room feel so much more expensive than it was. Perfect home base for exploring.

Reality check
Multiple reports of a lingering 'sewage smell' in hallways and near the elevators, plus a pervasive scent of weed.
- You are under 30 and here to party
- You prioritize location over luxury
- You want a wild pool scene without leaving your hotel
Renslighet og vedlikehold
4
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Reports of trash left from previous guests and 'missed' days are common.
- Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Watch for hair in drains, moldy grout, and 'splash' marks on walls.
- Maintenance: Aging infrastructure. Peeling wallpaper, broken ice machines, and slow drains are standard.
- Linens & towels: Towels are often scratchy and thin. Check sheets for stains immediately upon arrival.
- Odors & scents: Strong smell of weed in hallways and a recurring sewage odor in lower-level common areas.
