If you are trying to place Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino on the map and understand its lodging setup, the fixed facts are its location in Paradise, Nevada, its documented opening date, its owner, and several published facility figures. What this article can do is explain those stable facts and the mechanics behind hotel pricing and comping; it does not publish live room rates, current fees, or operating hours.
Publicly published reference sources describe Flamingo Las Vegas as a property in Paradise, Nevada, owned by Caesars Entertainment. Those same reference sources describe a documented point in time with 3,460 hotel rooms, 220 slot machines, and 22 table games, and note that the casino opened on December 26, 1946. Figures like room counts and gaming inventory can change as properties are rebuilt or reconfigured, so treat them as documented reference figures rather than a promise about today.
Where the property sits
The venue is identified here as Flamingo Las Vegas, also referred to by the keyword phrase “flamingo las vegas hotel & casino las vegas nv.” Its documented city is Paradise and its documented state is Nevada.
That city label matters because readers often search with “Las Vegas, NV” as a destination shorthand, while the property record itself places the venue in Paradise. In practice, the useful takeaway is the same one for trip planning: confirm the venue on the property’s own booking and contact pages before you travel, especially if you are matching reservations, rides, or deliveries to the exact property name.
Documented scale and opening date
Publicly published reference sources describe a large hotel-casino footprint at this venue. The documented figures in those sources are shown below as reference points, not as live operational guarantees.
| Field | Documented figure | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel rooms | 3,460 | This is a large lodging inventory, which usually means multiple room categories, different views or tower locations, and more than one booking path to compare. |
| Slot machines | 220 | This is a published gaming-floor figure from the cited reference point in time. |
| Table games | 22 | This is a published table-game figure from the same documented reference point in time. |
| Casino opening date | December 26, 1946 | This gives historical context for the property’s long-established presence. |
The owner listed in the published reference sources is Caesars Entertainment. Ownership and branding can change over time, so readers looking for current reservation policies, billing practices, or loyalty treatment should verify those directly through the property’s own channels.
Straight-line distances to documented reference points
The distance figures available for this venue are straight-line, also called great-circle or “as the crow flies,” measurements. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish road mileage or travel times.
| Reference point | Distance | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Las Vegas | 4.0 miles | Straight-line |
| Henderson | 11.9 miles | Straight-line |
| Los Angeles | 225.1 miles | Straight-line |
| LAX | 236.8 miles | Straight-line |
| Phoenix | 254.6 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 |
| Toronto | 1951.0 miles | Straight-line |
| NYC | 2230.5 miles | Straight-line |
If your own starting point is not one of the documented reference points above, this article cannot state that distance. The practical way to finish the job is to use the venue’s documented city and state, then measure from your own location in a map service and distinguish between straight-line distance and the longer road route shown there.
How lodging pricing is structured
No honest article about this venue can give you a durable room price, because hotel pricing is live and changes with demand, inventory controls, tax treatment, and booking conditions. What is useful is understanding which variables move the final bill and where to verify them.
For a property with 3,460 documented rooms, the headline rate is only one part of the picture. The final total can differ because of whether you are booking a weekday or weekend stay, whether your dates overlap with a major event period, which room category or tower you select, how far in advance you book, whether a resort fee appears as a separate line, how taxes are presented, and whether a member-only rate differs from the public rate.
| Variable | How it can affect the final bill | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday versus weekend | Demand patterns often change the nightly rate structure across the week. | Compare the same room across several date combinations on the property’s own booking page. |
| Event dates | High-demand periods can change both availability and the nightly rate. | Check the full stay total, not just the first-night headline figure. |
| Room category and tower | Different room types, views, layouts, and tower locations can price differently. | Read the room description and cancellation terms attached to that exact room. |
| Booking lead time | Rates can move as inventory changes closer to arrival or further out. | Confirm whether the rate is refundable, partially refundable, or non-refundable. |
| Resort fee as a separate charge | A separate mandatory line can materially change the all-in total compared with the base room rate. | Check whether the displayed total includes or excludes that line. |
| Taxes and fee presentation | Some booking flows emphasize the base rate first and the full taxed total later. | Review the final checkout page before payment. |
| Member rate versus public rate | A loyalty-linked rate may differ from the publicly visible rate and can carry different terms. | Check whether the lower rate changes earning, cancellation, or prepayment conditions. |
| Property channel versus third-party channel | The same stay can come with different change rules, support paths, and loyalty treatment. | Confirm who holds the reservation and who can modify it if plans change. |
Booking channels and why the source matters
For this property, the main channel types to compare are the venue’s own booking channel and third-party travel sellers. The venue’s own channel is usually the clearest place to verify property-specific terms, while third-party listings may package inventory differently or apply different change and support rules.
That difference matters most when something changes after booking. If the reservation sits with a third party, the property may direct you back to that seller for modifications, and loyalty earning or member-rate treatment may not match a direct booking. The right habit is to confirm, before payment, who controls the reservation, what the cancellation terms are, and whether any loyalty benefits depend on booking direct.
Check-in and check-out details to verify before arrival
Because these are live policies, the authoritative answer is the property’s own pre-arrival and reservation pages, or guest services through the property’s official contact channel. Before you leave, confirm what identification is required, what age rules apply to the registered guest, whether a deposit authorization will be placed at check-in, and how luggage storage works if your room is not ready when you arrive.
Also confirm the check-out process and any practical follow-ons. A common point to verify is whether parking terms change after check-out, especially if you plan to leave a vehicle on site after your room stay ends. The property’s own current policy page is the right place for that answer, not an old forum post or a cached booking screenshot.
How comping works
Comping is best understood as an accounting system, not as free travel. A comp is generally funded from theoretical loss: a projection of expected player loss based on average bet, time spent playing, and the house advantage of the games involved.
That is why offers differ from person to person and from trip to trip. The system is trying to estimate value to the casino, then return part of that projected value in the form of rooms, food credit, or other benefits. Some offers are generated automatically through loyalty tracking, while others may involve discretionary decisions by hosts, and mailed or app-based offers can vary because the underlying play history and projections differ.
The important economic point is simple: increasing your gambling just to chase a room comp is, in expectation, more expensive than the comp itself. The room is not created out of nowhere; it is backed by expected loss. For that reason, comping should be read as a description of how casino marketing and retention systems work, not as a strategy for obtaining a cheaper trip.
At a property owned by Caesars Entertainment, readers may also encounter loyalty language, tier language, and personalized offers in booking flows or account dashboards. What you should take from that is structural rather than tactical: there can be a difference between automatically earned benefits, targeted promotional offers, and discretionary host-issued arrangements, and those categories are not interchangeable.
What to confirm before you go
For this venue, the changeable items are the ones most likely to affect your out-of-pocket total or your arrival process. Confirm the current room total, whether a resort fee appears separately, the tax presentation, the cancellation and modification rules, whether booking direct changes loyalty treatment, and the current check-in and check-out requirements.
Use the property’s own booking flow for the all-in lodging total and the exact room terms. Use the property’s own guest-services or contact channel for arrival questions such as identification, age policy, deposit authorization, luggage handling before room readiness, and any parking rule that may change after check-out.
FAQ
Is Flamingo Las Vegas in Las Vegas or Paradise?
The documented property record places Flamingo Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada. Many travelers still search for it using “Las Vegas, NV” as a destination shorthand, so the practical step is to match the exact property name on the booking confirmation and the property’s own contact pages before travel.
How far is Flamingo Las Vegas from downtown Las Vegas?
This article can only state documented straight-line distances, and the available reference point is Las Vegas at 4.0 miles straight-line. Straight-line distance is not road mileage, and road distance will be longer. For an actual route from your starting point, use a map service and compare its route output with the property name and city.
Can a comped room make a stay cheaper than paying cash?
A comp can reduce what appears on a reservation, but it is not economically free in the broader sense. Comping is typically funded from theoretical loss, so trying to gamble more in order to earn a room usually costs more in expected loss than the room is worth. The useful question is how the comping system works, not how to force a specific offer.
