Hilton Grand Vacations at the Flamingo

Great hotel. My gf and I stayed here for my bday weekend in May. It says it’s on the strip, but it just about a block away. You have to walk through the Flamingo to get to the strip.
We stayed in a studio suite on the 7^th floor. The room over looks the pool so it does get a little loud in the day time. The room was nice. King size bed with a tv, a stand up shower and a large tub. Unfortunatly we didn’t get a jetted tub but it was large enough for 2 people and you can see the tv if you wanted to.
I would definitely stay here again!
Just a note… Über pick up is the same location as the Flamingo.
Plus: Free DVD rentals! We were able to watch Deadpool!!!
Con: A bit of a walk to get to after a long day…

I am sure that I will regret sharing this review, as if more people learn how nice this place is, than it will become more difficult than it is already to book a suite here!
My wife and I traded our timeshare week through RCI for a one bedroom suite. We have stayed at dozens of timeshares over the years and we traveled extensively and our experience at this HGVC was excellent.
The resort’s location is great! It is a very short walk to the strip. The entire facility was very clean and updated. There is a convenience store located in the resort that meets most any reasonable needs at reasonable prices.
The pool is a nice size and the pool furniture is comfortable. There is a concession stand at the pool offering drinks and food for sale.
The pool is adjacent to the Flamingo pool and as such, is the only negative (and the reason I did not give this resort 5 stars). The music played at the Flamingo pool is so incredibly loud, that we found it impossible to enjoy the HGVC pool. If a pool is important to your stay, and you are bothered by extremely loud music, then this is definitely not the place to stay.
Our suite was excellent! It was spacious, clean and well appointed. The king size bed was comfortable. The couch on the living area was not as comfortable as I would have hoped, but livable for a week’s stay.
We called for non-​allergic pillows and they were provided with only a very short wait.
Of the four other timeshare resorts that we have used in the past, this was, by far, the best of all.

I stayed here 15 years ago and had a good experience (I was a kid with my grandparents) and remembered it on a recent trip when we were bringing the whole fam down to Vegas for a short trip.
It definitely met our needs traveling with kids. We utilized the full kitchen lots for quick meals and snacks. There were dishes and bakeware available, along with stuff like a toaster and a blender.
Loved the extra huge corner tub. My 2 year old went swimming in it, though the outdoor pool is heated and open year round.
Washer and dryer in the closet is a huge plus!
This hotel feels really secure, too. Double entry doors for the 1 bedroom suite that both require a key card and the elevator doesn’t work without a key either.
While off strip, it’s really only steps away from the strip, so I wouldn’t let that stop you from staying here. It’s directly behind the flamingo, and you can walk through there to get to the strip or go around trough the Linq Promenade which has lots of great dining and shopping.
We were never bugged about the timeshares. No complaints at all, we had a blast.

This is a nice property however I don’t understand why you have to open two doors to get to your room.
One pet peeve I have is that they don’t have complimentary coffee in the morning downstairs. The coffee provided in room (any property) SUCKS !!
The people are friendly but when we called down to ask for more towels (only one in the room) it took so long for them to arrive we had to share the towel as we had to check out and could not wait.
To me Hampton is a better deal, about the same rates as HGVC and includes breakfast AND COFFEE

Enjoyed my stay at a HGVC — again. I choose to stay at these in Vegas because I am so tired of the casinos and these are more like apartments. I was upgraded to a full king suite. It has a full dishwasher, stove, fridg and a washer/​dryer. I bring less clothes knowing I can do laundry. I make my own breakfast each day and it feels more like a vacation then work (at least in the morning). The gym is smaller than most but they do have a Sauna and HEATED pool. Free DVD rental was also a very nice touch. It is a bit of a hike around the Flamingo pool to get to the strip but it is very quiet. I highly recommend this location — it’s next to the tram. I’ll be staying here again.

In a way I hate to give a great review as worried will be too popular in the future! But overall just a wonderful stay. The two bedroom is like two separate places to stay so perfect if you have teens or other family. Hope to return. Used RCI points and made reservations about a year in advance

We are owners of HGVC and we enjoy staying there when we need the extra space when we meet our adult son,
This location HGVC at the Flamingo is centrally located in the heart of the strip and is just located behind the Flamingo casino on the strip.
Parking can be a bit of a challenge because you have to park in the parking structure that is shared with the casino so we usually valet at $ 10 a night,
The rooms are not as fancy as the Cosmpolitan which is where we usually stay but they have all the amenities that you need.
The one bedroom suite has a full kitchen with full size refrigerator and coffee maker.
The suite has a large bathtub that I love to soak in every night after a night of gambling.
There is a comfortable bed and a sofa bed .
There is two large size tv’s with HBO and you can rent DVDs down in the lobby.
There is a nice little store in the lobby.
They offer room service.
The pool and jacuzzi is not as fancy as the hotels but it’s clean.
We had the two bedroom so our son was actually given a studio suite right next door.
The rooms are not a joined except by a foyer so I wouldn’t recommend that for small children but an adult child who comes in at 3 in the morning it’s perfect.
They have small but nice workout room and dry sauna and a small indoor jacuzzi.
We love the small quaint feel of the HGVC our valet Jorge has been greeting us for years and you don’t get that at a large casino.

The bed was SOOOOOOOOO comfortable! We did NOT want to get up in the morning. Great location being right in the heart of the strip — easy access to the new Linq hotel, and the new outdoor shopping/​dining area right there.
However, taking 1 star off for the unattractive décor in the rooms. Orange is an off-​putting color as it is, and the design didn’t help matters any. Also, for the parking situation — it sort of stinks. Had I paid attention to the Valet sign (just $ 10 per day), I would have opted for that instead of climbing 7 flights of stairs since parking was full and we had to park on the 7^th floor.

Finding this hotel on VRBO we acquired such a great deal for our short stay at the Grand Vacations!
Being that it is located right behind the High Roller you are right in the action of The Strip as well as all the highly rated Restaurants and Hotels. With a short easy walk you can get where ever you are going! Or you can take an Über with a click!
We stayed in room 323 that was complete with everything you could possibly need on vacation! Washer/​Dryer, Full Fridge and Freezer, Dishwasher, Ironing Board, Pots/​Pans/​Dishes, Oven, Microwave, Huge Jacuzzi Tub, Views of the Pool & Hot Tub, 2 TV’s with one DVD player, and Lots of Space with a Living Room/​Kitchen/​2 Sinks/​Stand Up Shower/​Bedroom! The complete set up making your stay ever so comfortable!
The Bed & Pillows! Were absolutely amazing! With staying in a different hotel down the road right after staying here there is such a big difference in having a great nights sleep. The bed is comfy with pillows from the feather heavens!
The staff is friendly and check in was a breeze even at 1am! They have a Movie Rental Machine downstairs with New Movies! Free Wifi for all guest! Their Pool is heated for Year Round use and they also have a Grill down by the Hot Tub! Complementary Self Parking is huge! And only being a short 10 min drive from the Airport you will arrive at your home away from home quickly to start your vacation immediately!
I would definitely stay here again as the pricing is great and not outrageous for such a great location and room!

We like this place because:
— Valet parking is always so polite and courteous. Just call them before going down and the car will be there ready for you.
— Front desk welcomes you with a smile and if they take longer than expected to get your room, they do make sure the waiting is worth something.
— Rooms are clean and not old looking.
— Small deli with several options to choose from, including Starbucks coffee.
— There is no casino so no noisy at all.
— Walking distance to the main part of the strip.
— It’s great for family, away from the drunks and the gamblers but not so far for those who want to play in the casino or get a few drinks without the need of a car.
Totally recommended!
Why 4 stars then? I rarely give 5 stars so don’t take it the wrong way ;)

The suite was larger than expected and everything was in tip top shape. Although I didn’t spend much time in the room, I felt at home. The only down side to staying at the Flamingo was the parking situation. After watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, I make it a point not to use a valet or allow anyone to drive my vehicle. The parking garage was most inconvenient and lacked space. The parking structure was also a bit run down and not well kept.

Staying here for the second full week in the past two months (one week in Aug and one in Sept) for a work event. This 4-​star rating is an average — 5 stars last time, 3 stars this time.
First of all, the location cannot be beat! Located right on the Flamingo property in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. This is a quiet hotel, primarily a vacation suites — so no casino, no bar, no restaurants, etc. It’s nice and quiet, geared more for R&R than wild and crazy. PERFECT! The glitz of the Strip is a whole two minutes away next door at the Flamingo — and it’s right next door to the Monorail station so you can easily get to your favorite casinos if the Flamingo isn’t your speed. So convenient!
If you can snag a suite — do it! The full kitchen and washer/​dryer are the only way to go! That being said, my studio room also had a mini-​fridge, sink, dishes, etc. And if you don’t have laundry in your room, there is free laundry on-​site (17^th floor).
It’s loud during the day if your room faces the Flamingo (Their GO pool keeps the loud music going all day long).
Staff is extremely friendly (I love Crystal in the deli!!!) and eager to please. Everyone I encountered went out of their way to make me feel welcome.
There were a couple of reasons I gave 3-​stars for this week-​long stay, though:
1) UNDER CONSTRUCTION — I know this can’t always be avoided, but it would have been VERY nice to know ahead of time that I could expect constant noise, drilling, banging, etc. all day long. I am here for work and it was really tough to make conference calls, etc. in my room. Since I was offered my choice of room locations when I checked in, it would have been helpful to know that the room was right next door to one undergoing renovation — I would have certainly chosen a room in the South Tower instead. When I asked at the front desk if I could expect the noise to last all week, the employee cheerfully answered «oh yes! Our renovations will be going on for a year or so!» — without any apologies, offers to move me, etc. More than a little bit frustrating.
2) NO HOT WATER in the shower — although maintenance was sent up right away both times I called, it took a couple of tries to get this working. They were quick and friendly and eager to make it right, but frustrated that I had more than 2 cool showers.
3) TIME SHARE SALES — the first time I was here, I wasn’t pestered about this, but I had several messages on the phone this time around. Dislike.
All that said, this is a much more pleasant experience for this no-​longer-​20-​something to come to Vegas and relax and I think I’ll come back on my own dime next time.

Nice place to rest at a place that gets no rest… The staff was professional enough… The location is great. If you’re a late sleeper be warned that the daytime pool party starts at around 10amish and continues until 6pm. Other than that, I have no complaints. It’s situated at a pretty cool spot. You’re super close to the vegas strip and approx 30 yards away from the old Flamingo. It was a wonderful experience –so much so that I’ve continued to go back.

Fix the wifi coverage and increase the Internet bandwidth and you get the fourth star hands down. The décor is a little dated but the place is clean, comfortable, and it’s in a great location. The rooms are quite spacious as well.
It’s a great deal on the strip just behind flamingo. If you can see the Ferris wheel you can always find your way home.

This is our first time staying here, and overall, it’s been a good experience. The staff is SUPER helpful and friendly, from the concierge to the custodians, you won’t find an unfriendly face. I love that.
We didn’t realize that most of the rooms here are time shares, so it really has a different vibe than the typical Vegas hotel. It’s very much geared to families and older couples. No «what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas» vibe at all! No casino, but technically you’re a part of the Flamingo, so you just take a short walk down the sidewalk and you’re in traditional Vegas. It’s actually kind of nice to have a little island of solitude in the mist of the Strip.
Best surprise: a great little deli with terrific breakfast and lunch sandwiches and a little «grocery store».
«Meh» part: room cleaning was pretty late (but efficient). Don’t try to nap during the day if your room faces the pool (but you shouldn’t be napping anyway… It’s VEGAS!)
Bad part: HORRIBLE wifi. I couldn’t get a connection in my room or in the grounds on many occasions. At best my service (AT&T) was weak.

Awesome suite at the Hilton Flamingo! I always end up staying at Hilton Hotels since I’m a Hilton Honors member and usually use my points for rooms. What’s great about the Hilton Flamingo is that it’s right smack in the middle of the strip. Location, location, location! Although it’s not one of the première resorts on the strip, you can still be there right where all the action is. Also super convenient to walk anywhere. It’s right across the street from Caesars Palace, so just a very short walk to any of the surrounding casinos.
The accommodations in the suite included large king room with huge hot tub, vanity, separate bathroom/​shower, a full kitchen (in case you actually wanted to cook), living/​dining area, washer and dryer and lots of storage. Suite was very clean. Only thing was that housekeeping didn’t come on our second day and we had to call them to make sure they would come by while we were out to dinner. Wifi was weak here. It seemed rather quiet here (a good thing), maybe bc the people who stay here aren’t the young clubbing types. We saw more families and seniors here, but we liked that there weren’t drunkards causing a lot of ruckus late at night/​early morning. If you like a more quiet/​tame stay, this is your hotel.
The amenities were similar to other Hiltons but a little more basic — café/​convenience store, small gym, dry sauna and outdoor pool. The pool was good for lounging but very small and got crowded with older folks just wading in the pool. The good thing is that if you stay at the Hilton Flamingo, you have access to the Flamingo Pool, which turned out to be quite a popular pool party scene all day. We ended up going to the Flamingo pool party two days in a row. They have a live DJ, cabana service and a lot of lounge chairs. The pool itself is massive and has nice waterfalls for something fun. It is a 21+ pool since they serve alcohol. Cocktails were expensive but it’s Vegas, so you have to expect that.
Front desk service was excellent and they really made us feel like valued guests. We were also given a welcome packet with deals for discounted show tickets and dining as well as an entertainment guide. I would return for the suite and location when in Vegas.

This was our EDC home for 5 days and i have to say its still one of the best Hilton that we stayed in and also this was the first Hilton Grand Resort in Vegas. The Hilton Grand Vacation Suite is located right behind The Flamingo Hotel smack in the middle of the strip. Walking distance to pretty much everything!
SERVICE: The service is friendly and professional. Never once had a bad experience. Felt very welcoming!
ROOM: Our room was a one bedroom with a king size bed a full kitchen, two flat screen tv’s and washer and dryer.
Overall enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.

I love this place, I love everything about it except the 15 min parking at the lobby. I think it’s okay if your a senior citizen they can park as long as they want and someone can park their car. Probably they’re VIP? But they made things like its a big deal. Like me and my husband got here last Monday we were being told to park in the self parking. Hello? Did you see we just got here? You want us to park way over and bring our 5 luggages with us? Probably they want a $ 100 tip so we can get the VIP treatment. Ha! How did I know? It’s from last night while I was sitting outside 2 older woman parked with no problem and of course valet guy just took the key and park it for them.
Dissapponting. If that’s use we already got yelled at like the last time my husband forgot it’s more than 15 mins. Lol, it’s our fault I know. But I don’t know why it’s suck a big deal. We’re willing to pay $ 10 anyway. Duh!
But over all we love the place. I love it, I think that’s all that matters.

GREAT LOCATION right behind the Flamingo Hotel. Walking distance to Caesars Palace via the front, or The LinQ, High Roller, Harrahs via the back side.
Pro
–Sofabed is a firm tri fold mattress, not a flimsy spring/​coil
–Washer and dryer in room. One box laundry soap complimentary. If you purchase $ 5 or more from deli downstairs, we got another box free (tide or bounce)
–Location! This is a less than 5 min walk to the LV monorail station, the LinQ corridor, –High Roller, and Harrahs via the back side. This is right across Caesars Palace, but navigating the strip and the escalators and overpasses takes longer to get there.
–Full size refrigerator, microwave, sink
–Bathroom had 2 doors: one to the bedroom, one to the living room.
–Bedroom and living room are completely separate.
–Free self parking
Con
–Had no 3G or 4G most days
–Wifi was slow to non existent
–Pool party blasts music during the day
–Renovation (3÷15÷15) so no front desk area and the place was under construction.
–One common door entry to a small foyer which leads to your suite and the neighbors suite… so you can hear the doorbell ring for the neighbor and the doors SLAM loudly at all hours if you have night owls next to you.
–Washer sounded like a fire alarm
–In room jacuzzi had black mold coming out of the spouts
–Stinky trash/​sewer smell around property by the walkway between the parking garage and HGV
–Parking garage is in the flamingo structure which is not connected to Hgv
-$ 10 valet parking/​day

I think Jeff G. said it very well… «The Hilton Grand Vacations Suites is able to give you all the comforts of home while still maintaining that special «vacation feel.» I’m a veteran Hilton Grand Vacation Resort client, and «I approve of this message.»
This is the oldest and, I believe, first Hilton Grand Vacation Resort in Vegas. And if you’ve stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacation Sahara and/​or Karen-​LV Conv. Center, then you’ll understand the concept of «Hotel-​Condo-​Apartment» properties in Las Vegas. You’ve got a full kitchen, in their suites, and a separate living room and master bedroom. I like that level of comfort, and don’t try to compare it to the typical strip hotels.
Granted, while this property is due for an «update», it’s big «sell» is that it’s the resort right behind the Flamingo Hotel; walking distance to major strip hotel-​casinos like Cesar’s Palace and Paris. Location, location, location!
If you know and accept that this isn’t the newest Hilton property in town, then you’ll be very satisfied with the attentive staff, and the same basic layout as the other Hilton resort properties.
The entrance to this property is a little difficult to find. But for Las Vegas regulars, I’d share that this resort is between the Flamingo and «Batista’s Hole in the Wall Italian Restaurant.» Another new landmark is the HUGE illuminated white ferris wheel just East of the resort. If you’re taking a taxi… don’t worry, just sit back and relax.
And if you’re driving and thought about parking at the «Flamingo Hotel public lot», I’d recommend «splurging» and using the $ 10/​day valet service. It’s well worth it. Unlike the Hilton Resort on Karen with their very accessible lot, the Flamingo lot is a bit further and not as convenient.

Always walked by this hotel and wondered about how nice it was, I booked it and wasn’t disappointed. Got the king suite with the full kitchen. I decided to bring and cook my own food since Las Vegas food isn’t cheap anymore. The suite was huge and had everything I needed. The hotel staff was great. Got into first room and the bell hop noticed the room was still dirty when he dropped off our bags. So they quickly switched my room and it had a better view then the first room. Which every room has a great view.
The only complaint is that 2 of the jets in the Jacuzzi tub didn’t work. Even with that, I will definitely be returning to this hotel again.

My wife and I have stayed here twice now. The Hilton Grand Vacations Suites is able to give you all the comforts of home while still maintaining that special «vacation feel.» Our room had a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, washer & dryer, and even a jacuzzi.
The front desk staff are friendly, relaxed, and helpful. There isn’t always someone at the bell desk though. For some reason, every time I needed a bellman there was no one there and I had to get the front desk people to page one for me.
The location of the HGV Suites is great too. It is off the strip but still within close walking distance of it. If you don’t have a good sense of direction you might want to pay attention to exactly how you’re getting to the strip so you can get back. You have to walk through a narrow alleyway before cutting through the casino of The Flamingo to get to the strip. Draw a map if you must. This is simple enough in the daytime but at night it can be a little unsettling.
The bad: We were awakened EVERY morning with annoying automated phone calls reminding us to pick up our «welcome package,» which is really a sales push for a timeshare. We let them know that we weren’t interested but that still didn’t stop the robo-​calls to our room in the mornings. Don’t they know that vacationers in Vegas are never up before 11AM?
At the beginning of our stay, the water was shut off in the building during the wee hours. It’s funny because when we stayed here before the water was shut off then too. Is that a weekly occurrence here?
Despite the phone calls and the water being shut off (again) I would stay here a third time.

I really wanted to stay at the Hilton Flamingo, but Hilton dropped the Flamingo years ago. Being loyal to Hilton, I chose to stay at the HGVC behind the Flamingo. What a disappointment — it’s not a Hilton Hotel, but a HGVC. This is my mistake — I’ve never stayed at a HGVC and didn’t realize that it’s a full on timeshare. Thank God we didn’t have to experience the presentations that so many other reviewers were subjected to. If you read my prior review for the HGVC for the Strip location, you’ll get the same comments and thoughts. It’s not a Hilton — it’s a timeshare — so they don’t recognize your loyalty to the brand.
I was on a road trip with my family and an impending snow storm caused us to leave a day early. When I called the hotel and explained that I wanted to come in a day early, but they said thanks, but no thanks. They wouldn’t let us change our arrival date; they wouldn’t let us move the reservation to another property; and they absolutely wouldn’t let us cancel. Keeping the money in the Hilton family and my Hilton Honors Gold status meant nothing to the reservation agent. She offered that purchasing a second night at a different Hilton property would give me more family time. I was at least amused when I told her I would use that time to teach my 7yo how to ‘make it rain’ and she laughed out loud.
When we arrived at the property, I pulled up behind another car who was unloading luggage with the help of a bellman. I looked over and saw two valets standing by the key kiosk. They just looked at me — neither approached the car. I sat there and waited for 5 minutes, but still nothing. I then got out of the car and unloaded my luggage. After it was all unloaded, one of the valets came over and asked if I need help. Gee, I did everything myself so far, so what help are you offering me. When the front desk agent thanked me for my gold status then asked if I was going to valet or self-​park, I told I didn’t feel valued. I explained the valet issue and she agreed to comp the $ 10/​night fee.
Okay, enough of my bitching. The property itself is fine. It’s nothing you would expect from a Vegas hotel — no casino, no restaurant and no shopping, but maybe that’s what people who buy timeshares want. The rooms were good sized — we had a 1-​bd suite that was roomy enough for my wife and two young boys. The hotel has a very small pool that is open all year, but the big selling point is access to the huge Flamingo pool. Unfortunately, it was already closed for the season, much to the disappointment of my kids. The room has a nice sized kitchen and a washer/​dryer available, so definitely a huge perk if you’re staying more than a day.
Okay, so maybe I wasn’t done bitching, but I’m just so disappointed with both HGVC properties this week. The internet at both was awful and both properties put me on very low floors. When I asked about moving from the 4^th floor, the desk clerk told me that everything above was smoking. It’s Vegas, but 12+ floors of smoking compared to 4 non-​smoking. Something smells fishy here and it’s not 12 floors of smoking. On my return trip, I stayed at a Hampton. At least they value my business, where here they treat you like an outsider if you’re not an ‘owner’.
