I made reservations for our stay a month in advance. I decided to "spend the bank" and reserve the deluxe riverview room. I also booked non-smoking and handicap accessible because I'm in a wheelchair. When we went to check in, we were told that our reservation simply held us a room, nothing else. We did finally end up with a handicap accessible room, but it was smoking and had a view of the lower roofline. The two chairs in the room were so close to the second bed and window that you could hardly get to them. The walls are very thin and we could hear conversations next door. Lots of waiting for the elevator and lines were long for dining. I wouldn't stay here again. Not really sure if Laughlin is for us. The river is very muddy and not much else to do if you don't golf. I enjoyed Las Vegas much more and we were totally spoiled at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Now there is a place that knows how to take care of its guests!

My husband and I had a wonderful 11 nights staying at the Flamingo Hotel Laughlin. We had originally been booked into the Edgewater but were concerned due to the poor reviews on trip-advisor so were a bit relieved to find that our tour company Travelscope had changed us to the Flamingo. Our room was excellent, the food in the buffet was excellent and we didnt even mind having to queue for a while and we soon learned the ideal times to go to avoid the queues. The food was wonderful and so cheap and the staff were very friendly and polite. Towards the end of the holiday we found that people were queuing in the buffet itself to get their food which was not necessary as the food counters were spread about with no need to queue anywhere, it was as though if people found a queue they felt they had to join it! Everywhere was clean with fresh towels everyday and you could also have your bedding changed every day if you wished but we opted for every three days as we didnt think it necessary to have it done every day. There was also a huge supply of towels at the pool free of charge which we have never found before. Well done Flamingo, our holiday cost us less than two weeks on the continent, and to those who complain, well, you must just like to complain!

Pros:

The "deluxe" rooms at the Flamingo Laughlin were a bit
plain, but very clean and a great bargain at $25 per
night (Sun-Thurs).

Cons:

We could hear EVERY WORD spoken by next door
neighbors from both the left and right sides
of our room. Terrible sound insulation!

Cable TV channel selection leaves a lot to be
desired, very weak. First class hotel should
have more selection than a Super 8 motel.

Cannot connect to the internet in the room with your
own computer, must use the "TV" to see the web, this
is o.k. for keeping the kids busy in the room while
parents gamble, but for working folks it's useless,
because our work files are in our own laptops.

We waited in line over 2 hours to be checked in! Our room smelled of "something" auful! Their was water on the bathroom floor plus chips out of the toilet seat! They still have the same old machines (a few new ones) that they have had for years! My slot machine didn't work waited over 45 minutes for someone to come fix it. All in all it was not a pleasant visit! The noon buffet was wonderful but nothing else!
