Is Flamingo the Best Cheap Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip? 🦩

[@TravelRuby]

Would you stay at Flamingo? 🦩 Drop a comment!

[@rayjones2660]

Yes I stay there.

[@debbiegraham1546]

I'd stay anywhere that was safe and clean, it's only somewhere to sleep.

[@jolanda.c]

Yes. It was my first stay in Vegas. I really enjoyed it because of the location, the garden, the pool and the price point. We had partial Bellagio view 👍

[@WalkingMario]

Yes..i will.. so if you go to vegas with kids the circus circus would be my only option??

[@TravelRuby]

@@WalkingMario check out my Mandalay Bay vlog. I think thats on ok option with kids

Hi Guys.. Cedarburg here! We have been staying at Flamingo for 16 years and love it. Center of action, don't have to walk a mile to our room. Usually hit back breakfast bar then out to strip. Love your channel! P.S. I 'm 75 and still pushing it! Carol Martin

[@djm5687]

You've been staying at a hotel for *16 years?* Why not just rent an apartment or buy a house? 🤣

I'm not sure what Caesars' going to do with it and I don't know if it's just me, but even through the renovations I can see some leftover 80's atheistic in the Flamingo's interior, and that's not a criticism I found really charming actually. I also like how they still have that flashy pink neon entrance and haven't caved into replacing it with a plain LED screen yet. I hope they never get rid of it. It's like, a little retro Vegas, but without feeling cheap or worn out. If that makes any sense?

[@davescamera3672]

The drunk stumbling in the median made me chuckle. I've been staying at the Flamingo for over 15 years now. It's in the middle of the action. Sometimes I don't leave the property, sometimes I walk to the bigger new casinos. Always a good time.

[@Pedro-uz8jz]

We ALWAYS go to the Flamingo when we go to Vegas. AWESOME place and yes, best place for people watching. Plus, it's pretty much centrally located to go anywhere else. LOVE the vids!

[@bryannelson6139]

Great review Ruby! I love it when you stay in and review an entry-level basic room. That’s so much more relevant than when you review higher end suites.

[@ritakay5864]

Hey Ruby, I am going to Vegas for the first time in about a week! I found your channel a couple months ago and it has been such a big help with planning. I watched your packing video the other night and u saw a couple comments on there asking you to do a makeup video for the vegas climate. I wanna add to the list of people who are super curious about that! I would love to see you do a video of day/night looks that will withstand the vegas climate

[@Kelly-tj8xv]

I love this intro. Reminds me of The Love Boat tv show, and other 1970's sitcoms. My favorite intro though is still the one where it's early morning on the strip, and you're sitting on the curb, put on your music, then dance into the Miracle Mile shops.

[@trinanoorigian891]

I love this! So impressed with how honest you are. I love watching your videos, have been watching for quite a while but just subscribed. My husband and I got married in Vegas 3 years ago 3/3/2019 and we’re leaving tomorrow to come back and celebrate! We have been loving every video you have done, they keep getting better and better! Thanks for keeping us up with the best stuff! ❤️

[@cindycroteau6858]

Best channel period on You Tube for Vegas. Just love it .

[@kimrobbins2295]

Love the Strip View Go Rooms, with our rewards, the rooms are usually super cheap and the view is AMAZING! Really cute, spacious room with kind of a 50s vibe, lots of pink and white!

[@restylesecrets8251]

great video. To me the best features of the Flamingo are it's location on the Strip and how quickly you can go from your room to the sidewalk. Many of the newer resorts are a looooong walk. Thanks Ruby!

[@BrianRP1209]

I prefer the Flamingo to Caesars Palace for that reason. Cromwell, Flamingo, LINQ, Harrah's - easy to walk from one to the next.

[@kimberbell4238]

Dang girl! You really upped your game on the editing of this video! Great job!!💕

[@brithequeenbee99]

Stayed at the Flamingo in January with my boyfriend and now staying there again in August with my family! Really enjoyed my stay for the price!

[@TheCgal419]

I've stayed at the Flamingo several times and it's my favorite "classic Vegas" hotel. Love the location on the strip, fantastic casino and the grounds. The only downside imo is the buffet but the other food options are good and there are off the hook buffets all around. Can't wait to go back and check out the new rooms. And can we talk about the view from your window? Stunning!!!

[@alyssadiceflipper5201]

We went during the holidays and went ahead and paid a little extra for the new mini suite bunkroom! The bunkbeds are all Queens so we had enough room for 6! The kids loved the bunks and extra playing area.

[@heleneestomin4977]

I recently started watching your videos think your content is superior to other bloggers. I love that you cover entire casino information and don't spend a ridiculous amount of time making us watch you chee your food. Favorite person to watch!

[@thesoulcourtesan]

I'm here now and it is like, 97% Maskless and the strip is crowded. The International Tourists are definitely back. The prices seemed to have increased even more up since my last visit at the end of January this year. I did Black Tap last night and it was great thanks for the recommendation. Did the Fly Over Vegas DRD Package attraction this afternoon and it was super fun. Looking forward to Silk Sonic tomorrow night!.

[@armandbuccieri6372]

Coming back to Vegas in May would love to take you guys to Lunch

[@t.a.mccurdy9122]

Thank you for a honest and great review. I'll be there with friends in a few weeks! Staying at the flamingo and so excited.

[@robertpalatsky5017]

Planning on going to LAs Vegas for the first time. Literally just discovered this channel yesterday and it's been very helpful. Love the honest critics. Love the amount of detail in these videos. Very easy to watch and follow. Thanks Ruby

[@spillthwinesfinds1244]

Ruby thanks for the great video on the Flamingo! You covered everything! I love the flamingo. I like how the windows are floor to ceiling and the rooms are very large and roomy! If your lucky you can face the Bellagio Fountains! I know what you mean about the vibe in the casino. I totally feel the same way. Do you think they knew you were vloggers when they upgraded you to the renovated room?

[@cindyba1919]

Ruby I like your videos of the different hotels. Its good to know the prices and types of rooms and restaurants the hotels have. You seem to explain it well to. Your a good spokesperson for information about the Las Vegas strip hotels casinos and restaurants.

[@sixtybrxxy7336]

Great informative video. I stayed once. Wouldn’t go back! Mr. Ruby is doing an excellent job… 😊🇮🇹❤️

[@janehoworth339]

Love the bird bar sat there on the night of our 25th wedding anniversary after watching Celine at Caesars until 5am great spot...luckily only had to cross the road to the mirage to get to bed.xx love your vlogs from the UK

[@ashtonrose9443]

I bought the little backpack bag you are wearing in this video after another video you recommended it in and love it. Going to use it for my April Vegas trip 🎰

[@xo.courtneylynn]

Loved the Flamingo for New Years Eve (2019/2020)! Was the cheapest strip view room for a great location for the fireworks show.

[@johnvann7027]

For dining options, the promenade in just north between the Flamingo and Lync with tons of options at various price points. Gordon Ramsey's Fish and Chips is one of my favorites. Brooklyn Bowl is also a great place for concerts.

[@leerogersable]

Dear Ruby and Mr R. We have realy enjoyed your reviews and tips for a great stay in Lost Wages. Currently having a lovely stay in the Venetian and tucking into some of you food venue recommendations. Walgreen is realy convenient for...er....refreshments and a quick sandwich. Please keep up you great work! Kind regards.

[@bobbalouie1303]

Stayed on strip at many different hotels for many years back in the 80’s. Then someone got a brain fart idea of making Las Vegas more family friendly. Got so packed with kids we went downtown for many years. Then the Fremont experience was built. Just got to crazy. So for about past 10 years we have started staying at hotels off the strip and downtown and are loving it. Occasionally will check out the strip and downtown when on Las Vegas. But enjoy the stay so much better away from the craziness!

[@JM06261996]

The quickness and haste with which you ate that chip at 6:25 broke the sound barrier

I love the Flamingo, I've been there 20 times and my kids too. My dad taught me to play craps there. Many memories!❤

Stopping at Flamingo at Easter. Had the choice of cheap cosmo room, but opted for better flamingo. Bit of old vegas and right in the action. Bring it on woohoo !

[@tasoula2]

Yes, I have stayed there a couple of times and will be staying there this fall. Always have a great time there.

[@frankcarr7029]

glad to see the Peppermill restaurant shirt... great place to eat, and the lounge is wonderful.

[@rebeccavork1269]

Had a great stay in same room type in nov. We didn’t really take in the hotel/casino amenities, as we had show tickets at other properties and ate and drank elsewhere for the most part. Had a good lunch at Carlos n Charlie’s and good late night burgers one time. Room was great. Very clean. We knew we wanted a mini fridge, so that was a factor in our hotel choice. Only issue was no full length mirror. No biggie.

[@malcolmnevers4534]

Thank you for all the great videos from Vegas. I am here now and trying some of your ideas. If you and Mr Ruby are here this week and next maybe I will see you somewhere.

[@wmeagen]

I live in Vegas and I might hit the strip once a year and downtown half a dozen times (almost exclusively to eat - downtown is a foodie oasis) but I'm OBSESSED with your videos hahaha I watch them and think YES! I SHOULD ABSOLUTELY GO TO THE FLAMINGO!!!! Then I remember I'm a single mom with a young kiddo. But I love your vibe 🥰

[@charlescahoon3557]

We usually stay at the Flamingo...last time was this past October. Our room was a strip view and was clean and everything worked. Staff was great and liked having all the new food places outside. Great location.

[@davidleinoff8589]

I like to visit the habitat at the Flamingo. Enjoy visiting the pink flamingos, ducks, and coy fish. Find it calming. I was visiting in Las Vegas during the Mandalay Bay shooting. The next morning took a long walk and found myself calmer in the habitat. A bit of reality in sin city.

[@adzisme]

Have to agree with you regarding the habitat; it’s one of the best features of the property.

[@Captain_Crusade]

Great video, my friends and I are headed to Vegas next month and we’re staying at the flamingo. Good to see it’s a good place to stay!

We really enjoy the flamingo casino, we’ve stayed there many times since the 90’s always had a good time, thanks Ruby!

[@Roidweiser]

I work at Flamingo, and as it stands, the buffet is entirely shut down with no plans to re-open. But everything is still stored back there behind that temporary wall, so it's not out of the question. There is a nice peaceful employee restroom back there at least lol

[@gavinmoody8174]

We'll be back at Flamingo in August. It will be our first time back since our honeymoon. Since then we've stayed at Bellagio but on our most recent trip, the walk to Bellagio Spa Tower was a little too much. We're so excited to be back at the Flamingo

I went twice to Las Vegas. First time was at Flamingo! I love it! Sad that the buffet is close... it was the best breackfast buffet that I eat!!

Flamingo is in a great spot on the strip as well, right in the meaty part if you ask me! It's 3 star but you can't complain because the price is always competitive. This hotel is for people that won't be spending much time in their rooms. Video looks great btw, keep up the good work! Try gold coast or palms possibly?

[@markussowa9743]

Thx for sharing your experience! Will maybe stay there in September with my dad. Cheers from Frankfurt, Germany! :)

The restaurant you sat and had a meal at Flamingo, their breakfast food is good, we had breakfast thwre twice at our July stay, of course if you order stake its close to 20 bucks for your meal but i did a basic platter of french toast with eggs and bacon( bacon is fabulous) and it was 10 bucks. Yumm and very filling. We stayed at the Flamingo in July and our room was filthy, it had not been cleaned good in months, sure they cleaned the surface of everything but clean clean , no we also had no remote to tv for 8 hours they finally showed up at 10pm to our room door with one on our first night. The picture in the inside of the bathroom door was half peeled off the dispensers in shower did not work, we brought our own toilet trees anyways. Over all we had fun in the casino itself but we wint be staying at the Flamingo again, we did stay in the same room too. We definitely want to check out the Bird Bar when we visit in May.
