Flamingo Las Vegas: Budget Friendly Hotel or DIRTY BIRD? Room Tour, Dining, & Full Review!
Рет қаралды 8,895
Күн бұрынJoin us in this Las Vegas vlog as we stay at The Flamingo to determine whether this budget friendly center strip property is one of the best cheap hotels in Las Vegas… or if it’s nothing more than a Dirty Bird!
In our honest review of The Flamingo Las Vegas hotel & casino, we explore and show you two different rooms during our stay, the more recently renovated Flamingo Las Vegas room, and the much older Go Room.
We also show some tantalizing dining options such as the casual Carlos n Charlie’s Las Vegas for some basic Tex Mex with a party vibe, to an upscale splurge at Bugsy & Meyers Steakhouse where dry aged Ribeye and classic craft cocktails make for a great evening.
We even cover budget friendly options like the Flamingo Food Hall and take a look at some new additions coming to Flamingo Las Vegas such as Pinky’s by Vanderpump and a brand new location of Gordon Ramsay Burger (both coming in summer 2024).
We also take a look at world-class amenities offered by this iconic and historic Center Strip Resort like the Flamingo Habitat, the Casino, and the Flamingo Wedding Chapel (where we were married months ago).
Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway for your next Flamingo Garden Chapel wedding, a fun-filled vacation with friends at a Caesars Entertainment property, or a memorable bachelor or bachelorette party to see X Burlesque or RuPaul’s Drag Race Live, this oasis in the heart of the Strip promises an unforgettable experience down to it’s old Vegas charm and the frightening elevators.
So get ready to discover whether The Flamingo Las Vegas is the ultimate Las Vegas experience… or just “The Dirty Bird” in this episode of James and Paul Try it All🦩

James and Paul, My favorite Hotel in Las Vegas is the Flamingo. One thing you didn’t touch on was the safety element of the casino. I feel safe at the Flamingo. The staff members are all very accommodating. My friends and I are always given the best rooms and are treated very special. Joy

You are very correct - We loved the Casino at Flamingo 🦩- It was a lot of fun, the staff was really nice there even down to fixing an issue we had with one of the bar top machines when we were filming a different video at the bar (unlike Cromwell next door which was sad because I like how nice the Cromwell looked but the security staff there did sour our experience). I tried my best to sum up the casino as fun, with a party vibe, and even down to mentioning the high limit room had lower limits so if you are a bit more budget conscious but want to dip into high limits it’s a great starting point. But for time purposes and the fact that a lot of millennials or people in our mid 30’s age range aren’t always the hugest on Gambling, I tried to keep the casino segment a bit brief. But you are very correct that the Casino there is a lot of fun. We loved the Flamingo Casino ❤️ Though as someone who loves tables… I just do not approve of 6:5 Blackjack and save my table play for places like The Plaza downtown where I can play 10x odds craps and 3:2 Blackjack. -Paul

Thank you for saying so! Flamingo will always hold a special place in our heart due to us tying the knot there. The staff was amazing and made sure that we were completely taken care of for our big day. Due to that, we’ll always recommend them for those seeking a wedding on a budget. Despite the flaws we discussed in the video, we are still firmly in the camp of Team Flamingo. It may not be our first choice for a Vegas hotel, but definitely no where near our last choice. -James

There are some fun options at the Flamingo (Carlos n Charlie’s does have a really awesome fun factor - but don’t expect high quality), and the Food Hall is perfect for what it has (I loved the Strombolis at Bonanno’s), but what I really recommend, you’re steps away from the Linq Promenade and there’s a lot of options just right there. One I hear a lot of good about (and still need to try) is Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips. Thanks for watching and we are glad you found some amazing options for your visit ❤️ -Paul

Wait so if I have diamond I can do the high roller for free?
@JamesandPaulTryitAll 3 ай бұрын
I think you get one per year or per a certain length of time - its not listed on the Caesars app so you actually have to swipe your card at the promo kiosk and for that reason I now make it a point to always check for perks or promos whenever I get to a Caesars property at the start of a trip. If you have this perk, it’s listed under your promos on the kiosk and it should say “High Roller benefit” - What it does is print out a coupons for 2 free anytime tickets that you take to the High Roller. The best thing is that you can pay the difference to upgrade them to Happy Half Hour so for James and I we paid only $50 (after tax) for Happy Half Hour which is a great deal - we both downed about 5 drinks on the wheel so the promo and upgrade cost literally paid for itself. -Paul
@JamesandPaulTryitAll 3 ай бұрын
The other thing is that it popped up on our December trip. And also when we returned in January so my guess is that it’s a semi regular promo/benefit they have for Diamond. So if it shows up again when we return in May, you better believe we are fitting in yet another Happy Half Hour (and at that point we probably should just make a short video or short about that benefit because it’s really awesome)

Have stayed there several times, never had a room that was aa outdated as yours. Rooms very clean, staff was great. Never had issues with elevators, except for stopping on floors with no one there. You give people a bad impression of the rooms. Maybe you had outdated one's compared to the one's I've stayed in. It's not the cosmo, bellagio, or upscale hotel. It is a great hotel for the price.

We don’t hide it, nor should we. Though I must say that I wasn’t aware the septum piercing was a 1990’s thing? I thought the 1990’s and early 2000’s belonged to Pookah shell necklaces, double popped collars on an Abercrombie & Fitch polo, and only one ear pierced 😂😂😂 Anyway… have a better day and thanks for watching 🐻🧸🌈🦄❤️ -Paul
