    I did just check those Resort Rooms because I wasn't sure what you were talking about. They must be upgraded for sure.

    After using the shower, I have to say I prefer this shower to the one in the new Harrahs valley rooms. The pressure is stronger and there's a knob to makes two sets of water stream out horizontally. The valley shower I'd describe as a wider gentler stream.

    The bathroom here must have a screen in the mirror, but I haven't used it, and there's a CD sound system that I haven't touched either.

    The room has come grown on me but as mentioned by someone,they don't seem to do much upkeep. Maybe I just got an extra worn room.. When it's light I'll post pics of the carpet and drape blemishes.

    If you ask for a strip view on the Cromwell side you will not get the wrap. I think it is a much better view anyway, but I am totally addicted to watching the fountains.

    This is the view if you ask for a room using the lobby elevators.....

    The only problem with this room is that if there is anything going on at Drais you will hear it. The same room using the Spa elevators sets you back so you can't see as much of the strip but can still see the fountains...

    These were both GO rooms I believe on the 26th floor.

    When I interviewed at Ceasars they put me up in the flamingo, this room is 10x nicer than the room I stayed in (I think candidates get the lowest class of room and no ability to upgrade) I actually think that bathroom looks pretty nice, I like the shower

    Thank you! I will ask for the Cromwell side. I can deal with the club. I live near the fire department, 2 train stops, town square, and several bus routes, it is an odd night that I don't hear thumping base!
     
    Ladies getaway, somewhere on the strip with a pool :)

    1. I posted the peeling wallpaper already, which I think if they even just used super glue, would look better. As it is, it's asking for a little kid to pull on bit, or some drunk

      Here are the other pics


      1) dirty carpet and there are two other areas like this
      2) mystery stain that looks like a blood
    2. 3)hole in shower ceiling

    That's really lame.

    I bet their upgraded rooms have bloodstains from better people.

    That's pretty bad. I've stayed at the Flamingo 3 times, 2 of those trips being in GO rooms and never had an issue with the condition of the room. Granted, this was 5 years ago but you'd think they would keep maintenance up on these.

    These new Flamingo rooms that are being done now, are these the Fab rooms that were redone about 6 years ago?

    Mystery stains = bad. My personal belief is that there should never be visible bodily fluid stains in a hotel room.

    The places in which I've worked would have marked "out of order" any rooms having any of those things. One place I worked had a housekeeping supervisor whose title was "Inspectress" check all rooms and stains and tears and such would have resulted in a "take it out of inventory" call to the desk.
