You got one of the old rooms. They have renovated ones that are much nicer than the room you are in. I stayed in on and it was nice, very nice for the price.
Yes The Go Room Double Beds Was Awesome Just Stayed To Weekends In A Row & Our TV worked in our Bathroom Mirror & The View Was Awesome of the Bellagio Fountain! That Was The Fab Room He Stayed In, yes I got my room upgraded. I've stayed in the Flamingo Rooms & they are nicer too.
We were there in Dec to ring in 2020 and stayed in the renovated room at the Flamingo and it was much larger and nicer. They are in a great location and staff is great. I wouldn't consider it the cheapest or worst, that would be Circus Circus, Excalibur and Luxor.
Was there last month & had a really nice room - overlooking pool, promenade & High Roller. Our room had no clock either (guess it's due to touch surfaces- but the remote remains) go figure. Great Vid!!
I started staying at Flamingo in late 60s and I loved it. The casino was warm and cozy with couches against the walls. They had a keno lounge and a coffee shop in middle of casino floor where you COULD see the pool from coffee shop. I loved the hot open faced turkey dinner.
Wife and I always stay at the flamingo when we're in Vegas. Love that it's right in the middle of the strip and also connected to the monorail. We've always gotten a Go or Flamingo room which are nicer than the one in the video.
Last time I was in Vegas I stayed at the Flamingo. We got one of their updated rooms that faced the pool. All new furniture and not stinky at all. So if you choose to stay there - make sure you ask for the updated rooms!
The Flamingo is always busy. Stayed there many times and I really love it! Yeah it needs updated, but it's tough to beat the price and location for a clean place to stay.
I stayed at flamingo for over 15 years. Nice beds and I like the tv built into the mirror. They also give you a fridge. Normal rooms don’t. My rooms were free, I gamble.
Had my reservations round December but my mommy took ill, cancelled trip. She went to Heaven Dec 19th. This video was my inspiration, I'm there this coming Sunday. Celebration of her life, my life, just life period.
Thank you Fatima. God was gracious, I had my mommy all my life. She had just turned 92 in November, it was old age and God's will. I still have my daddy, he's 96 turning 97 May 1st! Thank you for condolences.
@@RosaGonzalez-ss2br I am very sorry for your loss. I lost my mom also, last year in March. It still is hard to deal with but over time it has gotten a little better to accept. I know your mommy is looking down on you. You sound like a loving daughter. God bless 🙏
Flamingo is a solid hotel if you are just trying to go on a quick, cheap trip to Vegas. For the price you pay, it’s actually a solid hotel. The rooms are newly renovated so they look nicer than what they used to be. Overall it’s not bad but it’s not the best, great for a two day summer trip though for the Hawaiian vibe and it’s next to the pool party.
I love staying there!!! The vibes are great, there’s so much life inside and their staff is so down to earth!!! They got some cool bars and the best part, my favorite part....the Go Pool!! Best pool party in Vegas!!!!
The Flamingo has amazing renovated rooms!! This is one of the old rooms. I only stay in the renovated rooms when I stay there and love it every time. :) You should go back and do a tour of those rooms instead.
I’ve stayed at the flamingo twice and I absolutely love it. It’s definitely not the most glamorous but it has the best location. It’s right in the center of everything. If you’re into pool parties they have a great pool, good music, above average staff. The rooms are adequate. Let’s face it you’re not going to Vegas to sit in your room and if you are you’re gonna look into a better quality hotel. The first time I stayed there idk what happened but we came back from the pool and our room has water in it. We called the front desk and were “upgraded” to a different room within 20 minutes. The upgrade came really in floors than I quality but nonetheless the staff was accommodating. My second stay there I had a newly renovated room and the difference was noticeable. The Flamingo is always on my list!
Pompsie I also feel like all the rooms are vastlyy different. There are so many rooms and the hotel is one of the OG’s and they can’t possibly renovate all of them up to standards when the turnover is so high.
Hey guys! So I paid a grand total of $18.06 plus $41.95 resort fee to stay here for the night ($60.01)! Let me know what you think about the Flamingo and if it's worth it compared to other hotels and deals you've seen 🤟🏻
We like to stay at the flamingo. Maybe next time you review the “go” room it’s a nice room a lot more upgrades! And you don’t need to pay for the pool if your are a guest. You just need to take a room key. Great pool parties!! Excellent work pompsie love the room tours!!
Where does the "resort fee" money go? I haven't been to Vegas since the early 90s when my parents lived there and I don't remember any fees that were more than the actual room rates.
About 20 years ago I remember staying at the Imperial Palace. The room was $45 and they gave you $50 worth of straight credits for food within the hotel. You won't find deals like that anymore. And it was right on the main strip!
Flamingo is our favorite place in Vegas, mostly due to location and history. As returning customers, we usually only pay a resort fee for weekday nights. There is a great popup bar outside on the south corner for people watching. And there is a great dive bar adjacent to the convenient store in the back called the Stage Door. We now use Uber exclusively. Don't bother with rental cars!
First vid i have watched. My friends came to town and stayed there, i went up to check out the room. It was west facing over the courtyard toward the High Roller. It was not smelly and the room was comparable to the Linq. Maybe they are in the process of redoing the rooms and you got an old one. I would definitely recommend Flamingo and the Linq for value and best location on the strip. If anyone cares what I think.
Hopefully ; you do another one for Flamingo with their updated rooms . I stayed in other luxurious casinos but that classic feel and the friendiest staff draws me back to Flamingo .
Stayed at the STRAT before the pandemic and it was nice to make use of some Groupon deals for the buffet. Definitely worth downloading the slots games for free rewards. Used them for 2 for 1 on the shows and monorail
I stayed at the flamingo in June '20 on a trip with 3 other couples. Everyone's room was completely different in decor - the room we were in was tons better than this one - so there is a lot of inconsistencies with the room quality. Perhaps they are slowly updating the rooms?
It's actually not because during Summer you get the direct hot Sun shining down when indoors at least your car is in the shade! Easier to remember your spot for sure.
What! You definitely got one of the old rooms. My wife and I travel twice a year to Vegas and stay at the flamingo and never got a room like this. I got a lot of nice pictures from our room from our trip from July 1-8 2020.
The Floorplan for the flamingo is actually amazing. I don't know if a top down renovation is a profitable move, but it would make this property topnotch.
Loving the video my guy. I can tell you're being natural. Looking forward to the next one. I'll be in Vegas in a few days. Looking forward to seeing it again.
New subscriber and enjoying the chill vids. Go to Vegas a lot so this is cool to see all the places I’ve been and things I didn’t know there was to do and see. Good stuff!
I love the Flamingo. I usually stay Caesar’s or Mandalay Bay, but if I’m just going by myself or are on a budget the Flamingo is great. I live the wide open corner doors to the strip. The sun comes in while you gamble.
The room like you had was the cheapest option at the Flamingo I believe. They are indeed very underwhelming and I wouldnt recommend them unless you want absolute bare bones. It's worth it to pay a little extra for the next tier of rooms that fit the Flamingo theme, or stay next door at the Linq. Both are affordable and more comfortable.
Next time try Laughlin, Nevada, 90 miles south of Vegas, on the Colorado River and about the same distance from Los Angeles. That’s the place to have fun. Jet ski businesses are beginning to buy up all the cheap commercial property straight across the river from Harrah’s casino in Old Bullhead City, AZ. The area that you are showing on the left side (north side) of the park is exactly where City of Bullhead is developing a commercial boat ramp. Some places you can live in while having a great investment at the same time because it’s zoned for commercial but some places are grandfathered in already so they can’t make you move. Plus you are walking distance to the Colorado River and have a great view of the casinos on the opposite side of the river.
Used to love the Flamingo. Stayed many times in the 70’s as I was a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines, ‘72-‘91, and that’s where they put us up. Was a great location. Of course, the Strip is much different now, and being older, we tend to stay further out, like the “M” area. Thanks for the tour!
I’ve stayed here and I love it. Keep in mind you just got the FAB room which is the cheapest room. There really is some nice upgrades rooms that I love. But yes budget friendly for the room you got. Great video bro
LOL. You remind me of my son rolling and jumping all over furniture when he was a kid. Thanks for making me smile. I’ve been watching your videos for a short time now. Love it. We will be in Vegas next week for my son’s wedding actually!! 💛💛
I love the flamingo, mostly because of its location and Go Pool is my favorite pool. It does look like you got one of he older rooms. I have stayed in those a few times lol. Like you said though its definitely the best hotel option for people on budgets who want to be in a great location or just on a party trip. Normally my summer trips are more of the party trips, so i usually choose to stay here. Mainly because I am only in the room for a quick nap, shower and change of clothes lol. So no point on spending a bunch of money on a room i wont utilize much. Other trips i enjoy staying at "nicer" hotels. Overall, my experiences have been nothing but great staying at the flamingo!
@@Pompsie Well i would say as of right now i would say the Venetian. I have stayed at the Bellagio before as well but I usually go to Venetian for more upscale and luxury. I have yet to stay in Wynn/Encore, Cosmo and Aria, but plan on it eventually. I am definitely interested in staying at the Circa when that opens up.
I stayed there in 1975 before the towers were built. The buildings we stayed in were where the pool is now. Talk about stinky...they reeked of cigarette smoke & had a small air conditioner in the wall. We. were there in May, Memorial Day weekend & it was crowded. The original Flamingo is where Viva Las Vegas was filmed with Elvis & Ann Margaret. I recently realized this when I was looking thru old photos & I was posing on the diving board Ann Margaret pushed Elvis off of. We saw Sinatra at Caesars & a variety show at the original MGM & Sigfried & Roy was in it. I was 19 & went with family. I remember playing Black Jack at the Flamingo. We saw Rich Little & Donnie & Marie...LOL. hey I was young
I'm currently staying on the 25th floor (SPA side) in a GO ROOM with a king size bed... I paid $8 a night for 3 nights !! 28$ in total, I got an amazing deal by using my status matched Diamond card...My room even has a bath tub separate from the shower. It's it's not stinky, except for the peeps smoking weed in the hallway...
Nick Bibbo Excuse me sir, how’re you matching to Caesars Diamond at the moment?? Wyndham isn’t doing new status matches during this time, and I’m very curious to the latest method. Thanks
I've stayed at The Flamingo several times. I've had rooms with tv's in the mirrors in the bathroom, electric blinds and curtains I can control from the bed, beautiful rooms. And if you can get it , a room facing the Vegas strip is worth the stay alone.
I like the size of the room and u get a couch.. I stayed at the Linq. Room was uber small. With skinny windows. And it was priced like The Flamingo....
I’m watching this the day after you posted it from my suite at Wynn. I think I’ll continue to stay here at Wynn /Encore. Thanks for your vids, I think they are great.
The Flamingo Hotel and Casino has, by far, the most colorful history of all the Hotel/Casinos in Las Vegas and even the entire world. From its creation in the 1940s and the mob heydays in Vegas to the present.
We stayed there a few years ago and the rooms were just ok and the service was bad. It’s a shame because it used to be great, and you can’t beat the location. Their pool is probably the nicest one on the strip I’ve been to.
Roof top parking is the best, except in cities where it is over 100 degrees during the day. i always like a good time-lapse. The fisheye lens is a nice effect. The habitat sanctuary at the Flamingo is always cool. Not to many Flamingos in Virginia. The Promenade is a great place to people watch as well. Thanks for sharing another fine video. and some camera angle tips. Cheers! Oh Yea! Claudia Sent me. :)
best bang for you buck thats for sure, I have stayed here atleast 15 times, next time try the 20 dollar trick to get a really nice upgrade it has always worked for me!
Apparently when you go to check in you slip the check in person a 20 dollar bill as you give them your ID and credit card and then in return they’ll upgrade your room
@@Pompsie I do it every time at any strip hotel i stay at there's no guarantee of a room upgrade but even if you don't get an upgrade you likely will get a nicer view on a higher floor and a room that's close to the elevators instead of a 5 minute walk.
Great Content I love Vegas! Flamingo is where I stayed for my 21st BDAY! Thanks for the updates. Not sure why you go home to sleep. Throwing money away, I think.
That's awesome Mr. Fatcat! Celebrating your 21st birthday there how was it? What did you do? My daughter and I are planning a trip to Vegas for her 21st bday in June...and the Flamingo hopefully will be our choice
@@sandralucas1096 It was an awesome experience! A lot of eating for one ha ha and trying new drinks I have never tried before. Experienced the bellagio fountains walked the strip did some rides. Some night clubs, gambled, and hung out by the pool. We stayed at the flaming because it was right in the middle of the strip so when you go down from your room you can left or right.
That’s the old fab room then the go room then new flamingo room I luv the Flamingo especially the go pool parties when opened had to cancel my trip was going on AUGUST 23rd nyc here
Thanks I’m staying in September . Hoping not to spend to much time in the room. Being disabled dad so in the middle is great. And looks like you were there sept so I’m glad to see people in the pool . Plz tell me how warm it is
Hey Pompsie! I'm a recent subscriber and really appreciate the excellent job you do with your videos. Thank you for sharing them! I'm sort of living through your eyes and insights at the moment because I'm considering a move there in the next few months, but right now I'm planning my first trip there before I make a final decision, so I really am taking all of this in. You usually give the price for each hotel in other vlogs, but I missed what the price was for the one? Thanks so much and stay well!
Sorry about that I forgot to include it in the video 😪 the price was $18 plus $41.95 for the resort fee so $60 total per night. And Holly wow well I’m really happy you’re enjoying my videos and supporting the channel! If you want you can reach out to me on Instagram and we can plan to meet up when you are out here visiting and I can show you around if you would be interested! 🤙🏼
Crazy! I didn’t think there were any non renovated rooms left. I stayed twice, both renovated. Cute and shockingly nice for what you pay- and their breakfast to the room is my favorite in town. Maybe do a vid in a renovated room, and also a trip to the Peppermill!!
We used to stay at the Flamingo in a suite exclusively. Made lots of Vlogs there. That is until all my TH-cam gear was stolen from inside our room (also have a vlog on that). It’s a party hotel and the staff doesn’t really care about you imo. Great Vlog Pompsie. Great job explaining everything and the editing and the video was on point. Loving your Vegas content. Cheers.
Cheers man! And yeah I definitely get that vibe from the staff. I chose not to include the negativity of the experience I had during the check in process lol buttttt I will say that the maids there were very friendly to me haha
I also had my personal electronics stolen from the flamingo room and you can’t do anything about it. Do not leave go pros, laptops or anything expensive lying around. Better yet. Request no room service
Just stayed there a month ago. We had an updated room but good luck getting in the pool. They were letting people off the street swim first because they paid 25.00 to swim. We were there for 8 days and never got into the pool. View was awesome!
I had a reservation for the end of the month there but cancelled after seeing the crowd staying there. Opted for a property on the s strip instead. Seems less busy.
Stayed here in 2011 rooms had recently been upgraded the Go rooms were very nice and excellent value. But I expect a decade on they're probably shabby now!
We are going end of Feb.. and just booked with Flamingo; now after this video we are having thoughts. Your comment has given us hope. May I ask what style room did you stay in etc. go go room, flamingo room....?
@@ampcane we stayed in one of the rooms like in this video... listen, this place isn't glamorous or "luxurious" by any means, but i was just looking for a place with a good location and close to the main part of the Strip. I got a sick deal and paid like 21.00 a night! I had a rent a car and if i want real fancy meals or spectacular shows i went elsewhere. :)
I stayed there summer of 2019. the bed and pillows are hard. the fire alarm went off at around 2am with someone on the loudspeaker... that was scary. it was a high roller room. the hotel is run down. the inside elevator doors had scratch marks...lol and smudges. the only nice thing is the pool areas.
Oh wow! That’s cheap. When I was looking last week , the Flamingo was by far the cheapest I could find along with the Golden Gate Casino but that’s on Fremont.
I stayed there a month ago. We were in the tower to the north of yours with the same view. Those rooms and hallways were updated and much nicer. It was still the flamingo, but much nicer than the older rooms like this one. I had to argue with the front desk just so I could check in with a human to make sure we got the room we wanted lol! I had heard the kiosks were giving out a lot of the older rooms.
Yeah I had a similar situation. They wanted to force me to use the kiosk but I prefer humans lol regardless the woman who checked me in did not hook me up with a good room 😑
I MISS Vegas!! I usually go 2-3 times a year but haven't been once this year!! I'm having serious withdraws! I may just do it and go in October........ since the CDC released a statement today that 94% of the COVID deaths were actually due to serious unrelated underlying health conditions! I'm healthy and practice safety precautions.. I may just go... stop living in fear...
It’s definitely not a terrible place to stay I’m in agreement but compared to other hotels it’s not even close really. That’s just my opinion though 🙏🏼 thanks for watching the video and supporting my channel ❤️
Yeah I mean it’s not a bad hotel but my room definitely was a bit lame haha. A bunch of people have told me that many of the rooms have been remodeled though so I’m sure there are some solid rooms.
they have renovated rooms too, i think you stayed in the old fashioned one, the location, views from the room are incredible, if you're lucky to get a good one, and the pool considering the price
havent been there in a long time but if you were hungry you could take the escalator down to the basement where there was a food court with your the fast food you could want to pick from.
THANK YOU so much for spending a bit of time today to watch my video 🙏 please throw me a thumbs up to help me out if you enjoyed it ❤️👍🏿
subbed!
Thanks Rob! You rock 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰
hey did you ever do one on the Westgate???
One of the best parts of staying at The Flamingo, is you can look out of your room, and see all the hotels you wish you had stayed at instead.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Aka the cosmo.
Love the Cosmo 😏
Omg 😂🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣
You got one of the old rooms. They have renovated ones that are much nicer than the room you are in. I stayed in on and it was nice, very nice for the price.
A bunch of people have been telling me that now haha oh well maybe next time I’ll get a remodeled too room 😍🤞🏼
Yes The Go Room Double Beds Was Awesome Just Stayed To Weekends In A Row & Our TV worked in our Bathroom Mirror & The View Was Awesome of the Bellagio Fountain! That Was The Fab Room He Stayed In, yes I got my room upgraded. I've stayed in the Flamingo Rooms & they are nicer too.
You want a GO room.
We were there in Dec to ring in 2020 and stayed in the renovated room at the Flamingo and it was much larger and nicer. They are in a great location and staff is great. I wouldn't consider it the cheapest or worst, that would be Circus Circus, Excalibur and Luxor.

I stay at the Flamingo for years. You got to make sure you stay in one of the renovated rooms. The pool is awesome if you like the young party scene.

What does that stupid flag have to do with this video or your comment??
I agree! I don’t put the flag of my country on every comment I make lol. Just screams of low class
Flamingo is our favorite place in Vegas, mostly due to location and history. As returning customers, we usually only pay a resort fee for weekday nights. There is a great popup bar outside on the south corner for people watching. And there is a great dive bar adjacent to the convenient store in the back called the Stage Door.

You r in the 70 s mate
@@austinkowitz4151 So what’s your favorite decade?
I love the flamingo especially the remodeled version 🥰
The Floorplan for the flamingo is actually amazing. I don't know if a top down renovation is a profitable move, but it would make this property topnotch.

It's worth it to pay a little extra for the next tier of rooms that fit the Flamingo theme, or stay next door at the Linq. Both are affordable and more comfortable.
So you suggest Linq over Flamingo? I’ve stayed at Flamingo (it was ok) but staying at Linq in August and a little nervous it’ll be too “budget-y”.
Next time try Laughlin, Nevada, 90 miles south of Vegas, on the Colorado River and about the same distance from Los Angeles. That’s the place to have fun.

Loved this video! Very informative. Thank you!
Thanks for watching ❤️🤗
Used to love the Flamingo. Stayed many times in the 70’s as I was a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines, ‘72-‘91, and that’s where they put us up. Was a great location. Of course, the Strip is much different now, and being older, we tend to stay further out, like the “M” area. Thanks for the tour!
What was it like in Vegas when the mob was in charge? Safer or more crime?
Stayed here my first time in vegas. The elevators are sooo slow. Its fun to experience it once. Next time I would probably try Aria.
the flamingo has a very distinct fragrance
Great video and editing is superb. You've earned a sub and I look forward to your future content.
Ah thank you so much man! I really appreciate your support 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your filmmaking is on another level.
Thanks Samuel! Your comment made my day 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yo I’d def love to do things like this. Hella chill and and informative. Two thumbs up 👍
My very very very first time in Vegas (2006) we stayed at the Flamingo. Doesn't look like it's changed much, definitely an oldie but goodie.
I’ve stayed here and I love it. Keep in mind you just got the FAB room which is the cheapest room. There really is some nice upgrades rooms that I love. But yes budget friendly for the room you got. Great video bro
makes sense! thanks man 🙏
LOL. You remind me of my son rolling and jumping all over furniture when he was a kid. Thanks for making me smile. I’ve been watching your videos for a short time now. Love it. We will be in Vegas next week for my son’s wedding actually!! 💛💛
You are so cool ... I like your videos of Vegas, and I love your editing and your background music, very nice! 👍
Thanks Joanna you’re cooool 🙃
YES THIS IS RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE STRIP!,LOVED THE ROOM CITY VIEW .....
I love the flamingo, mostly because of its location and Go Pool is my favorite pool. It does look like you got one of he older rooms. I have stayed in those a few times lol. Like you said though its definitely the best hotel option for people on budgets who want to be in a great location or just on a party trip. Normally my summer trips are more of the party trips, so i usually choose to stay here. Mainly because I am only in the room for a quick nap, shower and change of clothes lol. So no point on spending a bunch of money on a room i wont utilize much. Other trips i enjoy staying at "nicer" hotels. Overall, my experiences have been nothing but great staying at the flamingo!
That’s great to hear! What would you say is your go-to hotel for a luxury stay?!
@@Pompsie Well i would say as of right now i would say the Venetian. I have stayed at the Bellagio before as well but I usually go to Venetian for more upscale and luxury. I have yet to stay in Wynn/Encore, Cosmo and Aria, but plan on it eventually. I am definitely interested in staying at the Circa when that opens up.
I stayed there in 1975 before the towers were built. The buildings we stayed in were where the pool is now. Talk about stinky...they reeked of cigarette smoke & had a small air conditioner in the wall. We. were there in May, Memorial Day weekend & it was crowded. The original Flamingo is where Viva Las Vegas was filmed with Elvis & Ann Margaret. I recently realized this when I was looking thru old photos & I was posing on the diving board Ann Margaret pushed Elvis off of. We saw Sinatra at Caesars & a variety show at the original MGM & Sigfried & Roy was in it. I was 19 & went with family. I remember playing Black Jack at the Flamingo. We saw Rich Little & Donnie & Marie...LOL. hey I was young
I'm currently staying on the 25th floor (SPA side) in a GO ROOM with a king size bed... I paid $8 a night for 3 nights !! 28$ in total, I got an amazing deal by using my status matched Diamond card...My room even has a bath tub separate from the shower. It's it's not stinky, except for the peeps smoking weed in the hallway...
Damn looks like you got a much better deal than I did 😂 that’s awesome 👏🏼
@@Pompsie Shoot me a DM ! I'll show you how to get the Caesars Diamond Card for free
How much you gotta lose to get a diamond card?
@@PunkSlapper123 You don't need to lose anything, just get a Hilton or Marriott Credit Card and you automatically get Diamond Status at Caesars
Nick Bibbo Excuse me sir, how’re you matching to Caesars Diamond at the moment?? Wyndham isn’t doing new status matches during this time, and I’m very curious to the latest method. Thanks
The first tracks reminds me of an early soundtrack that Gone with the Wynns used circa 2012. Hmm.
I've stayed at The Flamingo several times. I've had rooms with tv's in the mirrors in the bathroom, electric blinds and curtains I can control from the bed, beautiful rooms. And if you can get it , a room facing the Vegas strip is worth the stay alone.
No idea where you stayed, however our room was ways newly renovated, clean strip view
I like the size of the room and u get a couch.. I stayed at the Linq. Room was uber small. With skinny windows. And it was priced like The Flamingo....
Thanks for the awesome video. You brought back some great memories for me.
I’m watching this the day after you posted it from my suite at Wynn. I think I’ll continue to stay here at Wynn /Encore. Thanks for your vids, I think they are great.
Thank you so much ☺️ I love the Wynn it’s one of the best for sureeee! I’m currently at the Mirage 😍
Last time I stayed at the Flamingo I bumped into Marie Osmond in the lobby. I've never seen a woman with so much make up on in my life.
LOL! You can tell when you look at her that she cakes it on.
Lmao
Mud
Lmaoo
We love the flamingo and have stayed there many times very nice right on the strip and the history that it stands for awesome awesome awesome
The Flamingo Hotel and Casino has, by far, the most colorful history of all the Hotel/Casinos in Las Vegas and even the entire world. From its creation in the 1940s and the mob heydays in Vegas to the present.
Another dope banger. Love watching your vids. Best Vegas reviews on YT hands down.
Thanks brotha!!! I’m doing my best and I’m just getting started 😎😎😎🤙🏼
@@Pompsie -your videos are indeed the best and have class-wish u well
We stayed there a few years ago and the rooms were just ok and the service was bad. It’s a shame because it used to be great, and you can’t beat the location. Their pool is probably the nicest one on the strip I’ve been to.
Yeah it’s super nice but I’ve been to a bunch of other really nice ones on the strip 😉
Roof top parking is the best, except in cities where it is over 100 degrees during the day. i always like a good time-lapse. The fisheye lens is a nice effect. The habitat sanctuary at the Flamingo is always cool. Not to many Flamingos in Virginia. The Promenade is a great place to people watch as well. Thanks for sharing another fine video. and some camera angle tips. Cheers! Oh Yea! Claudia Sent me. :)
best bang for you buck thats for sure, I have stayed here atleast 15 times, next time try the 20 dollar trick to get a really nice upgrade it has always worked for me!
I will 💯 percent try the 20 dollar trick next time! I gotta stop being such a noob and accepting whatever they give me haha
What's the $20 trick?
Apparently when you go to check in you slip the check in person a 20 dollar bill as you give them your ID and credit card and then in return they’ll upgrade your room
@@Pompsie oh nice! Thanks I'll have to try that next time!
@@Pompsie I do it every time at any strip hotel i stay at there's no guarantee of a room upgrade but even if you don't get an upgrade you likely will get a nicer view on a higher floor and a room that's close to the elevators instead of a 5 minute walk.
Great Content I love Vegas! Flamingo is where I stayed for my 21st BDAY! Thanks for the updates. Not sure why you go home to sleep. Throwing money away, I think.
Unless the place is really nice I’d rather just sleep at home haha
Pompsie ha ha makes sense
That's awesome Mr. Fatcat! Celebrating your 21st birthday there how was it? What did you do? My daughter and I are planning a trip to Vegas for her 21st bday in June...and the Flamingo hopefully will be our choice
@@sandralucas1096 It was an awesome experience! A lot of eating for one ha ha and trying new drinks I have never tried before. Experienced the bellagio fountains walked the strip did some rides. Some night clubs, gambled, and hung out by the pool. We stayed at the flaming because it was right in the middle of the strip so when you go down from your room you can left or right.
I disagree so much! I have stayed there many times and the rooms are great!
For the price it’s definitely not bad! And I know that there are much nicer rooms than the one I got :)
We love the Flamingo. The pool is amazing!
That’s the old fab room then the go room then new flamingo room I luv the Flamingo especially the go pool parties when opened had to cancel my trip was going on AUGUST 23rd nyc here
The pool really does look amazing! I’m bummed I didn’t get to actually go in. Maybe another time :)
This video was dope 🔥
Thanks homie
I stayed last January. I loved the bed so much I called the front desk and ask what type it was.
Thanks for the smile ! 😊
🤗🤗
Thanks I’m staying in September . Hoping not to spend to much time in the room. Being disabled dad so in the middle is great. And looks like you were there sept so I’m glad to see people in the pool . Plz tell me how warm it is
Haha you weren't kidding, the only thing nice about that room was the view, I don't blame you for not sleeping there! XD Great vlog as always!!!
Thanks Tiffany!! 🤗
F
Excellent review. Definitely agree with you on overview. This is on my consideration list for March
Hey Pompsie! I'm a recent subscriber and really appreciate the excellent job you do with your videos. Thank you for sharing them! I'm sort of living through your eyes and insights at the moment because I'm considering a move there in the next few months, but right now I'm planning my first trip there before I make a final decision, so I really am taking all of this in. You usually give the price for each hotel in other vlogs, but I missed what the price was for the one? Thanks so much and stay well!
Sorry about that I forgot to include it in the video 😪 the price was $18 plus $41.95 for the resort fee so $60 total per night. And Holly wow well I’m really happy you’re enjoying my videos and supporting the channel! If you want you can reach out to me on Instagram and we can plan to meet up when you are out here visiting and I can show you around if you would be interested! 🤙🏼
@@Pompsie Thank you for the response and that would be amazing! I'll definitely keep in touch and thanks again! ☺️
Crazy! I didn’t think there were any non renovated rooms left. I stayed twice, both renovated. Cute and shockingly nice for what you pay- and their breakfast to the room is my favorite in town. Maybe do a vid in a renovated room, and also a trip to the Peppermill!!
We used to stay at the Flamingo in a suite exclusively. Made lots of Vlogs there. That is until all my TH-cam gear was stolen from inside our room (also have a vlog on that). It’s a party hotel and the staff doesn’t really care about you imo. Great Vlog Pompsie. Great job explaining everything and the editing and the video was on point. Loving your Vegas content. Cheers.
Cheers man! And yeah I definitely get that vibe from the staff. I chose not to include the negativity of the experience I had during the check in process lol buttttt I will say that the maids there were very friendly to me haha
I also had my personal electronics stolen from the flamingo room and you can’t do anything about it. Do not leave go pros, laptops or anything expensive lying around. Better yet. Request no room service
Omg no way! Two people have these stories geez. There must be a bad egg working for them...
Just stayed there a month ago. We had an updated room but good luck getting in the pool. They were letting people off the street swim first because they paid 25.00 to swim. We were there for 8 days and never got into the pool. View was awesome!
@@lisah5784 actually its called Housekeeping. They aren't called maids. 😉 Couldnt find one that spoke a word of English. 😬
I had a reservation for the end of the month there but cancelled after seeing the crowd staying there. Opted for a property on the s strip instead. Seems less busy.
Not a bad decision 👍🏼
@@Pompsie at the luxor actually. Seems like a better option for me and my fam.
Sounds about right ✊🏼✊🏼
Definitely like your videos. You stay at hotels I wouldn’t 😂
I just stayed at the flamingo a few months ago and luckily for me got one of the updated rooms and it was surprisingly very nice.
Stayed here in 2011 rooms had recently been upgraded the Go rooms were very nice and excellent value. But I expect a decade on they're probably shabby now!
i stayed there and it was perfectly fine; great location and you couldn't beat the price!
We are going end of Feb.. and just booked with Flamingo; now after this video we are having thoughts. Your comment has given us hope. May I ask what style room did you stay in etc. go go room, flamingo room....?
@@ampcane we stayed in one of the rooms like in this video... listen, this place isn't glamorous or "luxurious" by any means, but i was just looking for a place with a good location and close to the main part of the Strip. I got a sick deal and paid like 21.00 a night! I had a rent a car and if i want real fancy meals or spectacular shows i went elsewhere. :)
4:02 i smoked my blunts up there😂😂
😂🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I stayed there summer of 2019. the bed and pillows are hard. the fire alarm went off at around 2am with someone on the loudspeaker... that was scary. it was a high roller room. the hotel is run down. the inside elevator doors had scratch marks...lol and smudges. the only nice thing is the pool areas.
For my standards, The Flamingo actually looks pretty gfood!
Different strokes for different folks 🙏🏼 I can definitely understand why it’s a solid option for a lot of people
Awesome Congratulations on 100k Subs !! Keep it up 💯👍
Actually the cheapest room would probably be at Casino Royale, and there are no resort fees there. 🤷♂️
Oh wow that’s awesome. I’ll have to make a video there and compare ✊🏼
Actually no, they make up those resort fees by jacking up the room rates. Right now Harrah's is the cheapest at $10.00 a night plus $37.00 resort fee!
Oh wow! That’s cheap. When I was looking last week , the Flamingo was by far the cheapest I could find along with the Golden Gate Casino but that’s on Fremont.
@@TRMV is it a decent place to stay and gamble?
@@edmusick7794 Harrah's has just been remodeled, the rooms are nice. I don't gamble so can't say how the gaming is there.
I stayed there a month ago. We were in the tower to the north of yours with the same view. Those rooms and hallways were updated and much nicer. It was still the flamingo, but much nicer than the older rooms like this one. I had to argue with the front desk just so I could check in with a human to make sure we got the room we wanted lol! I had heard the kiosks were giving out a lot of the older rooms.
Yeah I had a similar situation. They wanted to force me to use the kiosk but I prefer humans lol regardless the woman who checked me in did not hook me up with a good room 😑
I MISS Vegas!! I usually go 2-3 times a year but haven't been once this year!! I'm having serious withdraws! I may just do it and go in October........ since the CDC released a statement today that 94% of the COVID deaths were actually due to serious unrelated underlying health conditions! I'm healthy and practice safety precautions.. I may just go... stop living in fear...
Yeah I read that CDC release. Unbelievable. Well if you decide to come I hope you have a good time! 🤗
This was awesome, thanks!!
I know you have stayed at the Wynn, but would there be a possible vlog of the Encore? :)
For sure I’ll be doing the Encore soon 😉
@@Pompsie Awesome! I'll be staying at Encore for the first time at the end of October. I will hit you up on IG to see if you're around!
I found it fine. Right in the heart of The Strip. You only sleep there...
It’s definitely not a terrible place to stay I’m in agreement but compared to other hotels it’s not even close really. That’s just my opinion though 🙏🏼 thanks for watching the video and supporting my channel ❤️
I have ALWAYS hit on those machines at Flamingo and have stayed there at least 4 times back a long time ago. Still my go to Casino for play.
You went home to sleep in your own bed 😮🤯 that is gangster (Bugzy) lol 😂 great vid. I feel like the flamingo has so much potential.
Yeah I mean it’s not a bad hotel but my room definitely was a bit lame haha. A bunch of people have told me that many of the rooms have been remodeled though so I’m sure there are some solid rooms.
But nothing compares to my bed 😍😂😂😂😂
they have renovated rooms too, i think you stayed in the old fashioned one, the location, views from the room are incredible, if you're lucky to get a good one, and the pool considering the price
You needed to ask for a new renovated room at the habitat elevators. Their really nice!
No they're not. The hotel hallways and rooms still reeks of wet dog hair, sweat and human feces
havent been there in a long time but if you were hungry you could take the escalator down to the basement where there was a food court with your the fast food you could want to pick from.
I was there a week ago 😂
I used to go to The Flamingo Hotel in Reno Nevada back in the 90s
I don’t care too much about the room I just want a decent clean place to sleep.
I like the venue. Living in New York, Manhattan is a ghost town. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching man 🙏🏼
