content: What a dump!  So sad. I used to love the Flamingo.\n\nOur room was dirty beyond belief: lime scale all over the showerhead (the showerhead ring was hanging off of the wall), a dirty torn shower curtain, a filthy black hole full of dust and grime where the bathroom vent used to be, dust all over the lamps and in the corners of the room, AND our room wasn't cleaned ONCE during our stay despite requesting it from the front desk AND the cleaning staff.  Strange, because there were people cleaning rooms on our floor.  Just not ours, apparently.  \n\nAdditionally, the closet door was broken and one of the outlets had been pushed through the drywall.  Some of the lamps and the clock had been unplugged so we had to do a little work to figure out which outlet was connected to the wall switch so that the clock would work properly.  The TV and a bunch of other things were plugged into a power strip that was shoved into a corner but still fully visible. Classy.\n\nNONE of the speed-dial buttons on our phone worked except for room service (Eventually we were told, \""Yeah, they don't work. Just dial 0.\"")  which is funny because we didn't have a room service menu and had to ask the hotel (on the phone and in person) for one THREE TIMES (over the course of a full day) before they sent one up.\n\nThe hallways outside our room were grimy: filthy stained carpets full of old gum, with bubbles and rolls where they'd gotten stretched out from so much use.\n\nThe elevator doors don't always open (or close) properly. Scary.  Plus, when you push the button for your floor, the light doesn't light.  Oh wait, yes it does but only on the OTHER side of the car.  What?\n\nThe once beautiful flamingo pool and grounds of yore have been mostly removed and replaced with additional buildings and parking.  Instead there is a horrid \""day club\"" pool full of wasted 20-somethings listening to earsplitting crappy music.  The kiddie pool is a little better but its not really separated from the \""Go\"" pool so after 10 am it sucks too.\n\nLest you think I'm just being bitchy, we requested a room change on day two and were told that it could take up to six hours between checking out of one room and receiving another.  Um.  No.  We were very up-front with the management and received a small amount of compensation but the number of people I had to talk to get anything done was just insane and at the end of it, the compensation I was promised was not what was delivered.  Sigh.\n\nClearly whoever owns this property is waiting for it to die so that they can put a giant fake-fancy \""luxury\"" hotel in its place.\n\nIt's really too bad. The Flamingo used to be great.\n\nPS:  The one really good thing about the property is the Center Cut Steak House and bar.  We had a really great meal in the restaurant with excellent service.  Brent at the bar is an actual real bartender (not a typical casino beer slinger) and makes truly delicious drinks while serving up great conversation.
