Gamblin Bill's vs Flamingo

Need some help please. I am taking my son to LV 12/26 to celebrate his first career job post college. We have the Flamingo as part of a package BUT after reading the reviews I am wondering if I should instead reserve a room at Bill%26#39;s Gamblin? I can get a $75 per night and wonder if we should do this instead.

Thanks in advance for your advice...

';after reading the reviews';

All hotels get bad reviews, even the top end properties like Wynn and Bellagio. Just remember that the 5% of guests who%26#39;ve had a bad experience are far more likely to post a review than the 95% who are completely satisfied.

I%26#39;m a fan of Bill%26#39;s but you%26#39;ll be absolutely fine at the Flamingo.

I agree with Blagger, it%26#39;s probably a ';either one'; situation. II haven%26#39;t stayed at either place, but neither property is upscale so unless you guys need your hands held, you should be fine where you are.

I happen to like the vibe of the Flamingo casino... always have.

We%26#39;ve stayed at both. Mostly at the Flamingo as my wife and daughter like the pool area. The older rooms are OK but stay in the newer GO rooms if you can. They are pretty cool and our room last July was a big hit with my 18 year old daughter. We%26#39;ve never had any problems during our stays. Not big fans of their buffet any more because it seems to have dropped in quality. The cafe is alright for breakfast. Never cared for their casino; it doesn%26#39;t have much character. Best thing about the Flamingo is location.

Bills is next door and I am a fan. We really liked the room we stayed in. It%26#39;s a small joint and the distance from desk to elevator to rooms is minimal. Casino usually lively although there are lots of loud and well %26#39;lubed%26#39; 20 somethings. The Victorian Room is just so-so, but you are close to many places to chow down, including the world famous Ellis Island about a 10 minute walk away.

The Go rooms are twice the price as Bills. I know what I would do with the money saved by staying at Bills. Eat well!

I have never stayed at Bills, so I can only give you our opinion of the Flamingo.... we did not pay the extra $ to stay in a go room but our room on the 15th floor, dont believe it was a standard room but was considered a deluxe was great.... incredible housekeeping, room was spotless throughout.. would definately recommend... and this was coming the night before from Bellagio..

They are both fine, but I would give the edge to Flamingo due to location and the casino has a better and fun vibe. The rooms are fine there and always clean. The rooms have window from floor to ceiling which is very nice for a view, We had a view of CP and Bellagio fountains.at Flamingo.

Have a great time in whatever you decide !!!!!!

pruske25, in what way can the Flamingo be described as having a better location than Bill%26#39;s?

Thanks everyone for your input!

Blagger... come on man. The Flamingo is further north and clearly in a more central location because of it. Besides, it%26#39;s closer to the Wynn.

makua, do not stress, you%26#39;ll be fine. I%26#39;ve stayed at the Flamingo many times and it is a great combo of old and new as it as morphed over the years.

Dr V....lol...too much turkey....hic.....

Of course, it was staring me in the face all along.... :-)
