Liza then came up to the stage and sang a duet with her mother the crown was given a lasting memory.

Having stayed here several times over the last 11 years I must say the Flamingo has always delivered! The rooms are extremely reasonable and larger than most you will find on the strip. The windows are huge and if you are on the strip side you can see halfway up the street. The cafe is great too! The Paradise Buffet is loaded with international foods and the Steakhouse46 cooks a mean piece of meat! There are plenty of great acts all year around too!

The pool is world class! This oasis is huge. There are large palms surrounding the water ways and a nice water fall that sounds delightful. This has become a hot spot during the weekends for locals and their guests! The music surrounds the whole pool area and there a Cabana's for rent. The bars are loaded with refreshing Margarita's and Colada's. There is a Beach Side Cafe for a nice lunch as well.

Just take a stroll around this paradise to take in the pool, live Flamingo's, live Penguin's and lush tropical settings and you will agree this is a real cornerstone for Vegas!
