Flamingo Las Vegas, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

Revisit classic Vegas at the bright, bold Flamingo Las Vegas, Trademark Collection by Wyndham. This dazzling resort is right on the Strip and only 10 minutes from McCarran International Airport. You’ll find something to please every palate with multiple dining options and live entertainment, plus two tropical pool areas and a rejuvenating spa. There’s even a 73,000-square-foot convention center for hosting events of all sizes.

This gilded property was the brainchild of mobster Bugsy Siegel and is a true Vegas original. The rooms still feel like the 1970s (the hotel has undergone several rounds of renovations), but they are updated and modernized in a way that’s in keeping with the overall design. The casino is a sight to behold, with an expansive gaming area and thousands of slot machines, as well as many blackjack and craps tables.

The hotel is enormous and can be challenging to navigate, especially on a busy Friday afternoon. Fortunately, the hotel offers electronic kiosks for check-in, which makes it easier to avoid the lines. It also has a good business center and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. The hotel offers a variety of room types, including the Go Rooms, which add nicer toiletries, shampoo and conditioner, a shower cap and lotion. Other amenities include flat-panel TVs, iPod docks and fancy clock radios.

Guests can indulge in the restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. There’s also a coffee bar/café, offering drinks and light snacks. The hotel also has three bars, a nightclub and a casino. Other amenities include meeting space, a concierge and limo/town car service.

There are 3,565 fully equipped and air-conditioned rooms at this charming property. Guests are provided with a refrigerator, a safe and ironing facilities. Rooms are ensuite and feature cable/satellite television channels and pay-per-view movies. The bathrooms have a shower and a hair dryer.

The Flamingo Las Vegas is a short walk from the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas Casino and a 10-minute drive from Siegfried & Roy’s Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat. It is also within easy reach of the Las Vegas Convention Center and Bracken.
