It's hard to decide how many stars to give the Flamingo.  Location it's a 5, quality of room was a 3.5 (I was in a remodeled room), price is a 4 and hidden fees and services a 2.  I stayed here for 9 days for a convention so I wore out my welcome of walking through a Casino every night and dealing with smoke and noise.  The first 3 days were great and I would definitely stay here again for vacation because how often are you in your room?  I've also heard their pool is halfway decent in the summer.  Nothing wrong really but a lot of better options in Vegas.
