Flamingo Poker Vegas The Flamingo is one of the oldest casinos and resorts on the Las Vegas strip and while its location is in the middle of the strip, it still gets consistent traffic. Hobby poker players will like this room since they will be able to find a table that is spread in an amount they can afford. There is only a railing between the room and the slots, but it has a great atmosphere regardless.

The ten tables at the Flamingo are in a well ventilated and well lit area. The bar is right next door and the cocktail waitresses troll the room for player’s orders. The location at the southern end of the casino used to be noisy but the management moved a large bank of the slot machines away from the separation railing which made it quieter. The tables are nice, but average with built in drink holders and comfortable chairs. The dealers are friendly and well-versed in the different varieties offered at the tables.
