A tour of the Flamingo habitat at The Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Filmed on February 18th, 2017. Flamingo is one of the lower tier Caesars properties but they have renovated rooms that are pretty nice. The casino isn't particularly impressive and the high stake rooms are laughably bad, but for budget gamblers the casino isn't bad. Restaurants don't feature any top tier options but plenty of food court and mid-cost options.

Casino At The Flamingo Las Vegas

Under the ownership of Caesars Entertainment, the Flamingo hotel and casino includes over 3,500 hotel rooms to choose from and an extensive 77,000 sq ft casino to keep you entertained. It was the third hotel to ever open its doors on the Las Vegas strip (with a modest 105 rooms at the time) and it’s now the longest-standing hotel that’s still opening.

There’s also a 15-acre water playground built in a true Caribbean style, coupled with a poolside bar and cafe.
