Flamingo Las Vegas Neapolitan Suite Tour & Review | Best Affordable Hotel Option?

It’s unfortunate about the condition of this hotel. People are forgiving because they think it was built in the 50s, but most of that hotel is a lot newer. There are little food and lounge options, and the Cromwell isn’t much better. Finding a place to sit down and eat is a challenge on the promenade, and Ceasers Palace is still a hike and then a monster property. I’d stay at the flamingo if I lived there out of sheer curiosity but I can’t see going to the trouble of taking a long distance vacation to go there.

you going back to AC anytime soon?

Wow, I'm surprised they haven't finished renovating. They were renovating the Go King rooms when I was there in 2017 in a different tower - forget which one but it was next to a round night club. My room was on a higher floor (49 or something? Maybe 29?) and had a grate over the window - I thought it was to keep people from jumping, but maybe it was an LED sign?
Have you got any hints on not getting your food frozen in those fridges? I had a fruit bowl from the old CVS and a bottle of Coke in the fridge. Left for a few hours came back and they were frozen solid! I can't figure out what I did wrong.
I did try to get a salad but it all looked bad, when I asked about it I was told it was because I was there on a long weekend (it was a Friday) and they wouldn't have fresh food until the beginning of the week. I wound up with a $7 slize of very oily pizza.
I would also still love to know what the black mass (cloud?) was that was in front of the window - it was very definitely not Bugsy Siegel - I would have been happy if he showed up and booted that thing out. I was not on the side with view of the old MGM Grand so not sure if there was anything to do with that. Can't seem to get an answer.
I will say I loved the location. I walked up to the Miracle Mile and down to Venetian, even across to Ceasars and over to Paris. Got to go up the Eifel tower in the middle of the night (this is how bad I did not want to go back to that room), had a blast walking and exploring.
I did attempt to ask for a different room but was told nothing was available.
I don't think I'll get back to Vegas before next year - would have gone in December but moving expenses are continuing to mount. Would love to see the new Speigel's Disco Show over at the Linq once it opens.
Thanks for the video!

Everyone has known for at least a decade now that the Flamingo is a total dump.

The Flamingo is one of the first places I stayed so you can't sway my love for The Flamingo lol. The bubbles on the ceiling just add character lol. The room does look spacious. I never understood TV's in the mirrors kinda like the phone beside the toilets. I was told a tip when I was staying in Toronto for early check in... tell them you have had a long trip and you're not feeling good and need to check in (if it's early). I hate how Vegas nickel and dimes you more and more. I still love it but it's getting so bad. Location is great, love Piff
There's not many old school casino's left on the strip
