flamingo hotel las vegas - has true world-class entertainment - by Kiki

Flamingo Hotel Las Vegas

Flamingo Hotel Las Vegas packs a wallop with 15 acres of pools, true world-class entertainment and more than 8 full-fledged restaurants to choose from. You'll want to use your Canon, Sony or Nikon to photograph the extraordinary front of the Flamingo with its flashing lights and pink color. It's a virtual symbol for the glitz and glam which can only be found in Vegas.

The Flamingo Hotel Las Vegas stands on one of the best corners in Vegas while sharing company with Caesar's Palace, Bellagio and Bally's. Bring your walking shoes because this area is a fabulous place to explore. The shuttle transportation to McCarran International Airport for the Flamingo, Caesar's, Bally's and the Paris is located at Caesar's check-in desk. Make your shuttle arrangements there and it can be billed to your hotel room.

Try a little self-indulgence. Upgrade to the Go rooms and you get the high-tech toys: flat-panel TVs, plasma screens, iPod docks. Great for business travelers and all of those who want to use the Internet to make dinner reservations, find out show times, etc.

Always book 6 months in advance for Holidays to get the casino of your choice and the type of room you want. Too often we hear stories about people who just can't get rooms. You must realize Vegas has 90% occupancy and is sold out lots of weekends during the year.

The liveliest restaurant is Margaritaville with its Caribbean food at the Flamingo Hotel Las Vegas. There are 3 floors of fun and altogether it seats 600 people. Both live bands and trapeze artists who float in a very large margarita glass are there to entertain you. Get the best food at Ventuno, which is similar to a Wolfgang Puck. There's also Hamada of Japan. It's a chain like Benihana's at the Hilton. Expect good tempura dishes, sushi and sashimi here.

You will want to catch George Wallace. He's about the best comedian in Vegas. Genuinely funny - guaranteed. There's even more great comedy at the Second City Comedy with its hilarious sketches and experimentation. There's an afternoon show with Society of Seven and its sexy singer, Lani. Look for discounts. There's a true headliner in R&B singer Tony Braxton. Tony puts on a show 6 nights a week. Do you want a real Las Vegas entertainer that can get the audience involved at your next event? Hire corporate entertainer Kiki Kalor.

The poker room is small but very adventuresome as it sits right in the middle of everything. Get free drinks while playing. Mostly tourists play there. There is Race and Sports betting. Oddly, there are no free drinks in the sports book. The casino is crammed full of slot machines. We call it crowded-gambling. The cocktails will still get to you fast and furious at the Flamingo Hotel Las Vegas.
