Flamingo

One of the more historic hotel-casinos on the Strip, the Flamingo Las Vegas was built in the 1940’s as an alternative to the western-themed hotels downtown. With lush gardens, waterfalls, and spa, the Flamingo remains a luxurious oasis for visitors on a budget. The resort recently updated a series rooms in 2008, dubbed Go Rooms. The Go Rooms features oversized white vinyl headboards, stylish carpets, and sleek, modern furniture.

Included in the resorts 15 acre pool area, is one of the Flamingo’s more unique features: African penguins, Chilean flamingos, Mandarin ducks and Koi fish frolicking in ponds and under three-story waterfalls. The Flamingo’s 77,000-square-foot casino offers more than 2,000 slots, 70 table games and a 100-seat race and sports book. Restaurants include a Japanese hibachi, Jimmy Buffet’s Margaretville and a posh new American eatery called Voga, along with others.

Jimmy Buffet's MargaritavilleJimmy Buffet's Margaritaville
Parrotheads aren't the only ones flocking to this faux Caribbean paradise, an enormous three-level place with gift shop. You'll love the crunchy conch fritters, creamy corn and crab chowder and barbecued ribs marinated in guava puree. Oh, and the margaritas aren't bad at all.
Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville
The menu reflects the flavors of Jimmy Buffett's island travels. Entrees include a grilled sirloin steak topped with Hawaiian butter, served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. For those who prefer seafood, fresh fish is offered daily including Mahi Mahi, Salmon and Tilapia. Fish may be grilled or blackened with a choice of sauces such as fresh pineapple salsa, Hawaiian butter and Jerk barbecue.
