If you are trying to place Flamingo Hotel Casino on the map before you book or travel, the fixed facts are its location, documented scale, and ownership; what this article cannot give you is any current room price, fee figure, or live operating detail. Publicly published reference sources place Flamingo Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada, with documented figures for rooms, casino inventory, opening date, and owner, while changeable items such as rates, check-in rules, and offers need to be confirmed through current booking and guest-service channels.
Where the venue is
Flamingo Hotel Casino, documented under the venue name Flamingo Las Vegas, is in Paradise, Nevada. The published coordinate point for the property is 36.11611111, -115.17055556.
That fixed location is the most useful starting point if your real question is "how far is it from me" or "how do I compare it with another place." This article can report only documented straight-line distances to named reference points; it does not publish road mileage, and road distance is always longer than straight-line distance.
Documented scale and property facts
Publicly published reference sources describe the property at a documented point in time as having 3,460 hotel rooms, 220 slot machines, and 22 table games. The casino opening date is documented as December 26, 1946, and the owner is listed as Caesars Entertainment.
Those figures are best read as snapshot facts rather than promises about today. Room counts, gaming inventory, branding, and ownership can all change as properties are renovated, reconfigured, sold, or rebranded.
Straight-line reference distances
For trip planning, the safest way to use distance figures here is as geographic orientation only. A straight-line figure tells you how the property sits relative to a reference city or landmark, but it does not tell you what route you will use, how long the trip will take, or what transport options will be practical on your date of travel.
| Reference point | Distance | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 4.0 miles | Straight-line |
| Henderson | 11.9 miles | Straight-line |
| LAX | 236.8 miles | Straight-line |
| Los Angeles | 225.1 miles | Straight-line |
| Phoenix | 254.6 miles | Straight-line |
| San Diego | 261.0 miles | Straight-line |
| Reno | 345.9 miles | Straight-line |
| San Francisco | 416.1 miles | Straight-line |
| Denver | 608.2 miles | Straight-line |
| Seattle | 874.1 miles | Straight-line |
| Dallas | 1069.6 miles | Straight-line |
| San Antonio | 1071.5 miles | Straight-line |
| Chicago | 1524.4 miles | Straight-line |
| Detroit | 1761.0 miles | Straight-line |
| Toronto | 1951.0 miles | Straight-line |
| New York City | 2230.5 miles | Straight-line |
If the place you want is not listed in the documented reference set, this article cannot measure that pair. In that case, use the property’s documented city and coordinates as your fixed point, then compare them against your own starting location in a map tool of your choice.
Lodging: what changes the final room bill
The useful question for lodging is not a single price but what controls the bill you will be shown when you search. Room pricing at a casino hotel can move with day pattern, event demand, room category, booking timing, fee structure, tax treatment, and whether you are seeing a public rate, a member rate, or a targeted offer.
That matters because two bookings for the same property can differ for reasons that are structural, not mysterious. A weekday stay can price differently from a weekend stay; an event period can change availability and rate logic; different towers or room types can carry different base rates; and the final amount can depend on whether a separately listed resort fee is added and how taxes are presented during checkout.
| Variable | How it can affect the final bill |
|---|---|
| Weekday vs weekend | Demand often shifts by stay pattern, so the nightly rate can change across the same property. |
| Event dates | Large local demand can tighten inventory and change the offered rate structure. |
| Room type and tower | Different categories can carry different base rates and inclusions. |
| Booking lead time | Availability and the rate displayed can change between early booking and late booking. |
| Resort fee as a separate line | A listed room rate may not be the full stay total if a separate property fee is added later in checkout. |
| Tax presentation | Some channels show taxes later in the flow, which changes the apparent headline total. |
| Member rate vs public rate | A signed-in loyalty price can differ from a publicly displayed price, and the attached terms may differ too. |
| Direct booking channel vs third party | The same room can come with different change rules, bundled terms, and loyalty credit treatment depending on where you book. |
Booking channels and why the channel matters
The main channel split is between the property’s own booking path and third-party travel sellers. The direct path is where you are most likely to see the property’s own current room inventory, member pricing if you qualify to view it, and the property’s current wording on deposits, cancellations, and fees.
Third-party channels can still be useful for comparison, but they may package the stay differently or apply different change and refund terms. They can also affect whether loyalty points, stay credit, or casino-related offers are recognized in the same way as a direct booking, so it is worth reading the rate rules line by line before you commit.
Check-in and check-out items to confirm
Before travel, confirm the practical items that most often affect the stay experience rather than the headline room search. The current answers usually live on the property’s own booking pages, stay policies, and guest-services contact channels.
The main points to verify are whether the property places an authorization hold for incidentals, what identification is required at check-in, what age requirement applies to the room registration, whether early arrival storage is available if your room is not yet ready, and whether parking terms change after checkout if you leave a vehicle on site beyond the room stay. These are operational details that can change and should be checked close to arrival, not assumed from an older article.
How comping works
Comping is best understood as an accounting system, not as a source of free travel. In casino lodging, a comp is funded from theoretical loss: a projection of expected player loss based on factors such as average bet, length of play, and the built-in house advantage of the games being played.
That means the room is not really detached from gambling cost. If someone increases play mainly to chase a comp, the expected loss created by that extra play is, by construction, higher than the value of the room or perk being sought.
Most casino systems combine a few layers. There may be a loyalty structure that tracks play automatically, there may be earned credits or offer logic generated by past activity, and there may also be discretionary decisions by hosts for some customers. Mail, email, or account-based offers differ from person to person because they are based on individualized play history and forecasting rather than a universal promise available to every guest.
The practical takeaway is to read a comp offer as a personalized pricing outcome, not as a travel hack. If you already have an offer, check its current terms through the property’s own account or booking channel; if you do not, no outside article can honestly tell you that a certain amount of play will produce a room, because those thresholds and rules are property-specific and change over time.
Ownership and business structure
At the documented point referenced here, the owner is Caesars Entertainment. Ownership matters because casino hotels are operating businesses as well as real estate assets, and changes in corporate ownership or management can affect branding, loyalty integration, booking systems, renovation plans, and how rooms and gaming space are allocated.
That is another reason to treat static venue facts and live travel details separately. The location and documented scale help you identify the property; current rate rules, offers, and stay procedures belong to the present-day channels run by the current operator.
What to confirm before you go
Use this article for the fixed outline: Paradise, Nevada location; documented coordinates; documented room count; documented gaming inventory; documented opening date; and the straight-line reference distances listed above. Then confirm all live items through the property’s own booking flow, loyalty account area if relevant, and guest-services channel before spending money on travel.
The key live items are the room total shown at checkout, whether a resort fee appears as a separate line, the tax treatment of the booking, cancellation and change rules, incidental authorization policy, identification and age requirements for check-in, luggage storage arrangements, parking treatment around arrival and post-checkout, and any account-specific comp or member-rate terms. Those are the details most likely to change and the ones most likely to affect what you pay or how smooth arrival feels.
FAQ
Is Flamingo Hotel Casino in Las Vegas or Paradise?
The documented city is Paradise, Nevada. Publicly published reference sources also place it 4.0 miles away from Las Vegas in straight-line terms, which helps explain why travelers often refer to the property as being in Las Vegas. That figure is straight-line only, not road distance.
How big is the hotel and casino at Flamingo?
At the documented point referenced here, the property is described as having 3,460 hotel rooms, 220 slot machines, and 22 table games. Treat those as published snapshot figures rather than live operational guarantees, because room inventory and gaming layouts can change as a property is updated.
Can this article tell me whether a room offer or comp is a good deal?
It can explain the mechanism but not judge a live offer. Comping works from theoretical loss, so the room or perk is funded from projected gambling losses rather than appearing from nowhere. For a current offer, the right place to verify terms is the property’s own booking or loyalty channel, where blackout dates, fees, and change rules are shown.
