Flamingo Hotel - Las Vegas Hotel Review
Jul 3rd, 2008 by ivnet
The Flamingo Hotel and Casino, a landmark on the Las Vegas Strip since 1946, was Bugsy Siegel’s desert dream hotel. Visitors easily recognize the sign out front of this famous destination and inside, the hotel is glittery yet warm and inviting for families.
The hotel’s more-than 3,600 rooms can accommodate most visitor’s wishes, including those with special needs and those who prefer non-smoking rooms. Guest rooms are large and most have been recently renovated. Amenities include four separate pools, set in a 15-acre tropical garden where kids can frolic in the warm Las Vegas sun. Two hot tubs are also nearby and cabanas are available for rental. The Spa and Fitness Center is perfect for a daily workout, a relaxing massage, or invigorating sauna.
Surrounding the rose garden are lush grounds and walking paths that take you on an expedition through live African penguins, Chilean flamingos, Mandarin ducks and Koi fish swimming in ponds under three-story-high waterfalls. Adding to the resort atmosphere are the tennis courts, swimming pools and a world-class health spa. The Spa at the Flamingo features facilities for men and women with saunas, exercise rooms, whirlpools, massages and more. The Garden Wedding Chapel is set in the hotels garden area and offers a choice of full-service packages.
Restaurants at the hotel offer a huge variety of culinary delights. Conrad’s Steakhouse. The finest steaks and seafood are served in a steakhouse so romantic and elegant, you’ll want to savor every moment. Pink Ginger offers Pan-Asian cuisine Hamada of Japan. Voted “Best Japanese Restaurant” by Zagat, guests will enjoy a variety of Japanese delicacies such as sushi, as well as meat and seafood dishes.
Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville. The cuisine is a reflection of Jimmy’s travels throughout the Caribbean. The ambiance is total FUN. Casual dining experiences are also available for visitors with kids although children with more sophisticated tastes will certainly enjoy a meal in one of the hotel’s “fancy” restaurants.
