Advantages: Very well known
Disadvantages: Not a crowd pleaser in todays climate
If you've ever watched TV Program or Film which includes Las Vegas , inevitably you will have seen the Flamingo Hilton. Now Part of the Bally's Group known as Park Palace Hotels.
The Flamingo Hilton is the Pink coloured Hotel with lights going up the side in the shape of yes you guessed it a Pink Flamingo.
We have stayed in this Hotel on three Occasions although not for the last three years , however , we still visit it each time we visit Las Vegas.
This place is definately not for Kids , it comes over as more aloof and certainly the gambling is aimed more towards the higher rollers , the basic slots starting at $0.25 whereas most Casinos start at $0.05. This is a little disappointing since the Hotel itself whilst very nice is not in the same league as some of the other Ultra Deluxe Resorts such as Caesars Palace , Bellaggio , The Venetian and Mandalay Bay.
The Food is very similar to all the other Resorts but priced $1 or $2 more to create a class appeal but I do not think it is worth paying the extra.
What I do like though is out the back of the Hotel is the new Pool / Garden Area. Large expanse set over to Penguins and Pink Flamingos so if you have a Kid it is well worth while popping in for 1/2 hour or so.
Right next door to the Flamingo is O'Sheas , owned by the same people but aimed more downmarket. If you want a cheap snack / drink head for here. Also , if you cannot keep away from Gambling , it does have $0.05 machines which the Flamingo seems devoid of.
Not one of the best but since it is always on telly , suggest you pop in for a few minutes just to say you've been.
