Then there was a “traffic management” issue where the next guest in line frequently failed to realize that one, or more, of the working kiosks were available. While there were about 20 total kiosks available, I’d estimate that 33% were out of service. While I’ve always been a fan of self-serve kiosks, it was evident that many guests were unfamiliar with the process, which caused delays. My experience at Flamingo was a touch more challenging, in part, because they have moved to an all-kiosk check-in experience. I’m typically able to skip the line and opt for a kiosk, allowing me to breeze through the process in minutes. Usually, guests have the option to either wait in line for a person or opt to use a self-serve kiosk to get their room keys. While the check-in process at Caesars resorts is typically quick, this one was frustrating. Related: Hotels in Las Vegas with recently renovated rooms.

While Siegel was “eliminated” not long after opening day, the resort he envisioned has stood the test of time.Īmong my favorite properties on the Strip due to its prime location and competitive pricing, Flamingo has served as my home base on numerous occasions over the years. Flamingo is an iconic property that has graced the center of the Las Vegas Strip since the 1940s when mobster Bugsy Siegel brought her life.
