![]() ![]() In the front closet were an iron, ironing board, and a small dresser with 3 drawers. Built into each nightstand were both traditional outlets and USB charge ports. The bed was extremely comfortable and had its own TV positioned in front of it sitting atop a TV stand that came equipped with a safe and mini-fridge in the cabinets below. There is also a movable pink partition (pictured against the back wall below) that can be used to separate the bed from the living area. All in all, the room offers 3 chairs in addition to the couch, meaning there’s seating available for about 6 or 7 depending on how tight you pack in on the couch. That additional space is dedicated to a living area that comes stocked with a circular couch, table, chair ottoman, and TV. The Flamingo Premium Room offers 550 square feet of space, which felt much larger than the 350-450 provided by base-level rooms at the resort. I feel that the condition of common areas typically hints at what you’ll find in the room. On the way up to the room, I snapped a few pictures of the elevator lobby and the hotel hallway. My room was on the 16th floor and offered a wildlife habitat/pool view. Likely because it was a mid-week stay, I was able to level up and book a Flamingo Premium Room on a comp via the Caesars Rewards loyalty program. ![]() Historically, I’ve only stayed in Flamingo’s baseline rooms which I feel deliver quality at a reasonable price point. Perhaps their hand was forced by the labor shortage, but it was a time-consuming and frustrating experience for me on that one particular day.Īlright – Onto better, and happier topics – The Premium Room! Inside Flamingo’s Premium Room It was a minor inconvenience and I’m sure they’re working to refine the process. It took me 5-minutes to flag down an available employee who informed me “Yea, that machine doesn’t work” and got me in line for one that did. Once I finally got to a kiosk myself, the machine repeatedly failed to read my driver’s license. Now, Flamingo had a couple of employees there to both direct guests to the next open machine and assist those having issues, but they were so busy helping guests that there was nobody left to keep guests moving towards open machines. Then there was a “traffic management” issue where the next guest in line frequently failed to realize that one, or more, of the working kiosks were available. While there were about 20 total kiosks available, I’d estimate that 33% were out of service. While I’ve always been a fan of self-serve kiosks, it was evident that many guests were unfamiliar with the process, which caused delays. My experience at Flamingo was a touch more challenging, in part, because they have moved to an all-kiosk check-in experience. I’m typically able to skip the line and opt for a kiosk, allowing me to breeze through the process in minutes. Usually, guests have the option to either wait in line for a person or opt to use a self-serve kiosk to get their room keys. While the check-in process at Caesars resorts is typically quick, this one was frustrating. Related: Hotels in Las Vegas with recently renovated rooms.

Flamingo is an iconic property that has graced the center of the Las Vegas Strip since the 1940s when mobster Bugsy Siegel brought her life. ![]()
