I just returned from a two-night stay at the Flamingo.  While I've gambled there in the past, I've never stayed in their rooms.  Upon arrival, we were told that we could either wait for a room to be cleaned by housekeeping or could have a room, though far from the elevators, immediately.  We chose \"b.\"  After some time on the phone, the desk clerk informed us that he'd have a nice room right away for us.  From the photo montage at the front desk, I thought we would be in for a nice surprise when he told us we were on the top floor.  NOT. Granted, the room was comped, but the wing we were assigned to was just plain old.  Upon exiting the elevator, it looked and smelled like an old apartment from the 1980s era.  While the room was large, with 2 queen beds, it was downright icky.  The bathroom was small, towels thin, two conditioners, no shampoo, it had a rubber shower curtain, gross cabinetry and grouting (I know, it was only for 2 nights), and it had a non-working lightbulb.  There was a quarter-size blood stain on the carpet and I regret not bringing my flipflops.  Even after the 2nd day, still no working lightbulb, still no shampoo.  Will definitely just use my Harrah's comps in the future.
