If you are trying to place Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino on the map before you book or travel, the fixed facts are its location, documented scale, and a few straight-line reference distances. What this article can give you is that physical picture plus the mechanics behind lodging costs and comping; it does not publish live room prices, current hours, or road mileage.
Publicly published reference sources place Flamingo Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada. Those same sources describe a documented point in time with 3,460 hotel rooms, 220 slot machines, and 22 table games, and state that the casino opened on December 26, 1946; ownership is listed as Caesars Entertainment. 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 venue sits
The venue is identified here as Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, also referred to in public references as Flamingo Las Vegas, in Paradise, Nevada. For readers comparing it with nearby or far-away reference points, the usable measurements in this article are straight-line distances only.
That distinction matters. Straight-line distance is a geographic measurement, not a route plan, and road distance is always longer than straight-line distance. This article does not publish driving miles, travel times, or turn-by-turn directions.
Documented scale and ownership
For a venue-level snapshot, the most concrete published figures here are the hotel-room count and gaming-floor counts. The documented figures are 3,460 hotel rooms, 220 slot machines, and 22 table games.
The opening date supplied in public references is December 26, 1946 for the casino. The owner and operator named in those same references is Caesars Entertainment. Ownership and branding can change over time through sales, restructurings, or rebrands, so readers making a practical trip should confirm the current operating brand through the property's own official channels.
Straight-line distances to reference points
The table below lists only documented straight-line measurements. Each figure is great-circle distance, not road mileage, and should be read as a geographic comparison tool rather than a transport estimate.
| 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 |
| 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 |
If your own starting point is not listed, this article cannot measure that pair. In that case, use the venue's fixed location in Paradise, Nevada, then compare your own mapping result against the warning above: any road route will be longer than the straight-line figure.
Lodging: what changes the final room bill
Because room pricing is live inventory, a static article should not quote a number. What is useful instead is understanding which variables move the bill and where different booking channels can change the terms attached to the same stay.
At a hotel-casino of this scale, the biggest price drivers are usually the stay pattern and the booking conditions. Weekday versus weekend demand, major event dates, the room category or tower assigned, how far ahead you book, whether a resort fee appears as a separate line, the tax treatment shown at checkout, and whether you are seeing a member rate or a public rate can all change the total.
| Variable | How it can affect the final bill |
|---|---|
| Weekday versus weekend | Demand patterns often differ by stay date, which can change the base room rate. |
| Event dates | Citywide or venue-area demand can raise the available rate level and reduce flexibility. |
| Room category and tower | Different room types or tower placements can be priced differently even within one property. |
| Booking lead time | Earlier or later booking can expose different inventory and cancellation terms. |
| Resort fee as a separate charge | A quoted headline room rate may not be the same as the full stay total if a separate fee is added. |
| Taxes and fee presentation | Some channels show taxes and mandatory charges later in the booking path, changing the apparent total. |
| Member rate versus public rate | A loyalty login can show a different price structure from the publicly visible rate. |
| Change and cancellation terms | A lower headline rate can come with stricter modification or refund rules, affecting the real cost of flexibility. |
Booking channels and why they differ
For this kind of venue, there are usually two broad channel types to compare: the property's own booking channel and third-party travel sellers. The property channel is the place to verify the venue's own room descriptions, current package structure, and any member-specific pricing attached to that operator's loyalty system.
Third-party channels can be useful for comparison, but they may package charges differently and may not treat loyalty earning, stay credit, or post-booking changes the same way as a direct booking. That difference is often more important than a small headline-rate gap, because the total bill and the ease of changing the reservation can diverge once taxes, separate fees, and amendment rules are applied.
Check-in and check-out points to confirm
Before you travel, confirm the practical items that affect arrival and departure rather than assuming they are uniform. The important questions are whether the stay requires a deposit authorization at check-in, what identification and age requirements apply, how early-arrival or luggage-storage requests are handled, and whether parking terms change after checkout.
Those details belong on the property's own booking confirmation, pre-arrival information, or guest-services channel, because they can change without notice. A traveler comparing channels should also confirm which party handles changes or disputes after booking, since direct reservations and third-party reservations are often serviced differently.
How comping works
Comping is best understood as an accounting system, not as free travel. In general casino practice, a comp is backed by theoretical loss: a projection of expected player loss derived from factors such as average bet, duration of play, and the house advantage of the game involved.
That matters because the room or other benefit is funded from that projection. If someone increases play mainly to chase a room offer, the expected cost of that extra play is, by design, higher than the value of the comp being pursued. So comping is not a loophole around the economics of casino play.
Within that structure, offers can come from several layers. Some are tied to a loyalty system that tracks rated play over time; some are generated automatically as marketing offers; some are discretionary decisions by hosts; and some are mailed or otherwise targeted because the operator is modeling a specific customer's expected value and return likelihood.
That is why comp offers differ from person to person even at the same property. The pattern is not just about one visit, and it is not reducible to a single public formula. A reader trying to understand Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino should think of comping as part of the operator's customer-valuation system, not as a published room-price shortcut.
What to confirm before you go
Several practical details are inherently changeable and should be checked close to arrival through the property's own official booking path or guest-services contact page. Confirm the current room total shown at checkout, whether a resort fee is listed separately, the tax presentation, the cancellation and change terms, and any member-versus-public rate differences that apply to your login status.
Also confirm arrival and departure procedures: identification requirements, age rules, deposit authorization, luggage storage, and any parking rule that may change once you have checked out. If you booked through a third party, verify whether the property or the seller controls changes, because that can determine where you must go to fix a reservation problem.
FAQ
How big is Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino?
Publicly published reference sources describe Flamingo Las Vegas in Paradise, Nevada as a property with 3,460 hotel rooms, 220 slot machines, and 22 table games at a documented point in time. Those figures are useful for scale, but readers should remember that room counts and gaming inventory can be revised as a property is remodeled or reconfigured.
How far is Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino from Las Vegas or Henderson?
The documented measurements available here are straight-line distances only. Flamingo Las Vegas is listed as 4.0 miles straight-line from Las Vegas and 11.9 miles straight-line from Henderson. Straight-line distance is not road distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
Can a stay there be comped?
Comping can exist as part of a casino's broader customer-valuation system, but it should be understood as being funded from theoretical loss rather than as a genuinely free room. Offers differ by player history, rated play, marketing models, and discretionary decisions, and increasing play to chase a comp raises expected loss beyond the value of the room being pursued.
