Go Room, Strip View

As the name says, this room faces the Las Vegas Strip, so you wake up to the boulevard and its skyline rather than a car park or service area. Blackout drapes let you darken the room for daytime sleep after a late night on the casino floor. Window guards are fitted for safety.

The Go Room, Strip View is offered with 1 King or 2 Queen Beds and sleeps up to 4 guests in 350 sq. ft. Both setups use a pillowtop mattress. Choose the king for a couple and the two queens for friends or a family of four.

Yes, it is a family-friendly room. A crib can be provided for a surcharge, and connecting rooms are available if you are travelling with a larger group. Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino also has an all-ages Family Pool reserved for hotel guests, open daily 9 a.m.–5 p.m. It is unheated and about 3.5 feet at its deepest. The adults-only GO Pool (21+) is a separate section of the resort.

The Go Room has a private bathroom with a shower, free toiletries and a hair dryer. Towels are changed on request, as are the bed sheets, so you can ask housekeeping for a refresh whenever you like.

You get a 50-inch flat-screen TV with cable channels and pay movies, a mini-fridge, an in-room safe, a phone and an iron and ironing board. A desk and desk chair make a handy laptop workspace, and there is a wardrobe or closet for unpacking. Room service runs limited hours.

A mandatory resort fee of $56.63 per room, per night covers in-room WiFi (up to 2 devices per guest), fitness-center access and local calls. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is before 11:00 AM. Guests must be at least 21 and present a government-issued photo ID and a credit card. Cash is not accepted for payment. An incidental deposit of about $50 per night is placed on the card and refunded after inspection.

Harry Reid International Airport is roughly a 13–14 minute drive away, so a rideshare or taxi is quick. The resort has its own Las Vegas Monorail station (Flamingo/Caesars Palace Station), and the Deuce bus runs along Las Vegas Boulevard 24 hours a day. Self-parking is about $20 a day Monday–Wednesday and $25 Thursday–Sunday, and valet is around $40 a day.

There are plenty of options on property. Gordon Ramsay Burger is open 10:00 a.m. to midnight daily. Pinky's by Vanderpump opens at 3:00 p.m. Bugsy & Meyer's Steakhouse serves Wednesday–Sunday evenings. Havana 1957, Margaritaville, the Paradise Garden Buffet and a food court add variety. Cooked-to-order breakfast is available daily for an additional fee.

Guests can wander the Wildlife Habitat, home to Chilean flamingos, swans and koi, which sits next to the spa. The GO Pool dayclub is complimentary for adults 21 and older, first-come, first-served, open 9 a.m.–5 p.m. The outdoor pools are seasonal, so check the opening dates for your travel month. The Spa at the Flamingo is for guests 18 and older.
