redstripe Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Friend just texted me about going to Vegas for his 60th birthday. It would be 3 couples. They got a deal at The Flamingo or Harrahs. I have only stayed at MGM . They are planning but ask me to help choose one of above . So whats the best place for location and rooms. ? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Aristatel Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Not much difference in the quality of the room between Harrahs and Flamingo. Location is similar as only the Linq stands between the properties. If going in the summer, the pool is superior at Flamingo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain’t the Bellagio, but way better than a cheap chain motel room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol Aristatel Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Depends what room type you get too. Some of the deluxe rooms in those properties are very much on par with the basic MGM rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfo Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I like stepping out that side door at Flamingo and being right in the middle of the outdoor restaurant/bar area at the Linq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all, I prefer Flamingo. As far as the rooms go, not much difference really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
po69 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 The deluxe properties in those casinos are not that great. The Flamingo rooms really suck but to be honest, your hotel doesnt mean shit in Vegas. Sure I stay for free at the Venetian, but really I am only in the room a MAX of 7 hours a day. I PROMISE you that there is plenty of shit to do at 2am and everything starts up around 10am or so. No time to even return to your room. The Venetian wont charge you a Resort Fee if you ask not to be charged and use your own hotspot for internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
po69 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 On the point of resort fees, you really wont have to pay any at all if you ask a casino host to comp them for you. Assuming that you are gambling even just a little but then you wont have to pay resort fees. Also any comped rooms at Harrahs properties or Bellagio, Aria, Venetian and Wynn wont charge you a resort fee as well if you ask upon checkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstripe Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Harrahs charges resort fees on comped rooms if you aren't diamond or higher.Yeah I am Diamond so no fees .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
po69 Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 That is why I said no resort fees. I am at least diamond myself. BUt alot of the casinos will not charge you the resort fee on a comped room if you just ask for it when you book. Or you always ask a host to review your play at the end of your stay and about 90% of the time they will comp those fees so you will come back. It doesnt take much play at all to get the resort fees comped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about the JUST of it................If coming to Vegas for 4-5 days or less, oh gives a shit, you should be up 20 hours most days/night.
