The Flamingo might be an option for accommodation - does anybody know anything, good or bad, about there?

Jon,

I stayed at the Flamingo in November but in one of their "Go" rooms.

I hadn"t stayed their previously but, judging by the way Harrahs/Caesars rank their hotels it"s slightly above Harrah"s.

Location is practically the same.

17/11 - 24/11

$370 - Deluxe Room
$650 - GO Deluxe

Never stayed there...and, frankly, I"ve never been tempted purely due to location. Can"t speak about the rooms...have a look on TripAdvisor

It"s not really convenient for the rest of the Strip...it"s not on the monorail so you"re stuck with cabs, buses or shanks" pony.

MAP LINK

I"m getting about £260 / $425 for the week on November. Decent enough if it suits...but I think the extra transport costs might add up.

BEER

OK, now that I have your attention...for those seeking something other than the normal free and generic options available while playing.

The Pub @ Monte Carlo.

200 beers...available List

Quote

The Pub is your go-to spot at the Monte Carlo for great food, beer, sports and an all-around good time. But don"t let the name "The Pub" lead you to believe this is an ordinary watering hole.

Pull up a seat at the extensive bar, backed by a mesmerizing array of large kegs, and choose from more than 200 beers on tap. Or if you"re not quite in beer mode, you can opt for one of The Pub"s famous adult milkshakes such as "The Luck of the Irish" or "Peppermint Snowflake."

There"s an extensive menu of seriously good food to satisfy your hunger. Juicy burgers, fresh mango chicken quesadillas, grilled fish and more make The Pub a Las Vegas dining destination in its own right.

With your appetite well taken care of, you can now focus on your entertainment. Big screen sports abound here, so if there"s a game on, this is the place to watch it. If sports aren"t your thing there"s something for you as well, sing along to your favorite song with the dueling pianos or dance the night away with the house DJ.


I don"t have full details yet but I"ve heard of their "Liquid Lunch" which included all you can drink beer.

Group Raid anyone?

For those interested in something nearer the MGM end, how about the newly refurbished Tropicana?



This would do for me


If you are really interested...see HERE

Stayed at the tropicana before the revamp,,great pool area lol,,they did have 4 or 5 cash tables running,,only downside was that it is at the end of the strip and as mentioned earlier it can be a pain walkin around in the heat
