Flamingo Las Vegas

Gaming Floor

Flamingo Las Vegas, the Strip’s oldest continuously operating casino resort, opened on December 26, 1946 under Bugsy Siegel and has been a Caesars Entertainment property since 2004. The 77,000-square-foot gaming floor houses 1,400 slot machines ranging from penny slots to high-denomination reels, with popular titles including Dancing Drums, Buffalo Gold, and the exclusive Caesars-branded progressive slots. Furthermore, the casino operates 80 live table games featuring blackjack variants with different rule sets, craps tables with 10x odds, American and European roulette, baccarat, and specialty games like Pai Gow poker and Three Card poker.

The dedicated poker room sits in a semi-private section off the main casino floor, running daily cash games in No Limit Texas Hold’em with stakes from $1/$3 to $5/$10. Weekly tournaments draw players from across the Nevada casinos network, with buy-ins typically ranging from $150 to $500. The Caesars Sportsbook operates a comprehensive betting operation with multiple windows, self-service kiosks, and mobile app integration for in-game wagering on all major sports leagues. Gaming floor hours run 24/7 with a minimum age requirement of 21 for all gambling activities.

Hotel & Accommodations

The Flamingo’s 3,628 rooms span multiple towers including the main Flamingo tower, the Go tower, and the Paradise tower, making it one of the largest hotel properties among Las Vegas Strip casinos. Standard accommodations feature 350 square feet with either Strip or courtyard views, while the Flamingo Road Suites offer 550 square feet with separate living areas and premium Strip vistas. However, the most sought-after rooms are the Go Suites, which provide contemporary furnishings, oversized bathrooms with soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the wildlife habitat.

Room amenities include 55-inch flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, in-room safes, and 24-hour room service from select menu items. The Paradise tower rooms underwent renovation in 2019, featuring updated décor with bright tropical colors that reflect the resort’s flamingo theme. Additionally, Caesars Rewards members receive priority reservations, room upgrades based on availability, and exclusive access to the Diamond Lounge on the 28th floor.

Dining & Nightlife

Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville serves as the resort’s flagship dining destination, delivering Gulf Coast cuisine including coconut shrimp, fish tacos, and the famous Cheeseburger in Paradise in a tropical atmosphere with live music on select evenings. Center Cut Steakhouse handles upscale dinner service with prime cuts, fresh seafood, and an extensive wine list in an intimate setting away from the casino floor buzz. The Flamingo Buffet offers international cuisine with American classics, Italian stations, Asian stir-fry, and a dessert bar that operates for breakfast, lunch, and dinner service.

Carlos’n Charlie’s brings Mexican favorites and oversized margaritas to the casino level, while Go Raw Cafe caters to health-conscious guests with salads, smoothies, and grain bowls. Meanwhile, Bugsy & Meyer’s Steakhouse provides fine dining with dry-aged steaks and classic cocktails in a setting that pays homage to the resort’s historic connections. The nightlife scene centers around Bugsy’s Bar on the casino floor and the Paradise Garden Buffet Bar, both offering craft cocktails and beer selections with views of the wildlife habitat.

Amenities & Entertainment

The Go Pool complex serves as Flamingo Las Vegas’s premier outdoor amenity, featuring multiple swimming pools, a 130-foot waterslide, and the FlaminGO pool for adults seeking a quieter environment. During peak season from March through October, the pool deck transforms into a day club with DJ performances, cabana rentals, and daybed service with bottle service options. The 15-acre wildlife habitat at the property’s center houses Chilean flamingos, African penguins, sacred ibis, koi fish, and turtles in a lush garden setting with waterfalls and walking paths.

The Flamingo Showroom has hosted entertainment for over seven decades, currently featuring rotating comedy headliners and tribute acts with shows typically running Wednesday through Sunday evenings. Self-parking is available in the resort’s multi-level garage with validation for Caesars Rewards members, while valet service operates 24/7 at multiple entrances. Notably, the property includes a wedding chapel, fitness center, business center, and gift shops selling everything from Flamingo-branded merchandise to luxury goods.
