Flamingo Las Vegas

Founded by notorious mobster Benjamin ‘Bugsy’ Siegel in 1946, this retro resort features a massive 7200 square-metre casino, with slot machines, blackjack, crap tables, roulette and much, much more. Plenty of restaurants and bars will fuel your Vegas adventures, while two pools and a spa offer places to chill.

Established before its neighbours, Flamingo Las Vegas is centrally situated on the Strip, with the area’s best-known attractions having set up alongside. It’s opposite Caesars Palace and Bellagio – and its fountains, and is flanked by The LINQ Promenade, which offers restaurants, shops and the world’s second-tallest observation wheel, the High Roller. Paris Las Vegas is on the resort’s other side. The city’s monorail stops right outside Flamingo Las Vegas, so you can easily scale more of the Strip if you desire. Harry Reid International Airport is just over three miles away.

With architectural design reminiscent of 1930s art moderne style, bedecked with palm trees and pink neon lights, the Flamingo could easily belong in Miami or Havana. Flamingo pink is the theme throughout this resort, and you’ll see it everywhere from the walls to the floors, and into the rooms and suites. Accommodation varies in style, and some offer stunning views of the High Roller observation wheel, towering 550 feet above. Although GO and Fab rooms are functional and offer great value for money, they could benefit from a refresh as the decor is a little tired in places. If you're looking for added comfort, we recommend upgrading to the refurbished Flamingo rooms, providing a modern twist on the resort theme, with a mid-century touch, bright white bathrooms and artwork celebrating the property’s history.
