I can't believe you found MGM for the same rate as the Flamingo.



Unless you're comparing a Deluxe Go room at the Flamingo to a Grand Tower room at MGM -



%26gt;This is from someone who used to work for Flamingo Hilton, and I love the place.

MGM is bigger and looks newer. Tropicana is kinda OLD SCHOOL, but I love it!

MGM hands down, no contest.



UNLESS...



You don't want to end up walking several miles each day because the place is so big.Which is a better hotel in Vegas: The MGM Grand or the Flamingo? Both are offered at the same rate. Thank you!
The Flamingo is located right in the heart of the strip so that makes it a great location. I have stayed there and love the pool. I have never stayed st the MGM so i cant answer
The MGM Grand is a nightmare to navigate through, it is the largest hotel in Las Vegas and one of the largest in the world.



It is always crowded, loud and immensely aggravating to walk though. You must walk through the entire casino to get to your room. The rooms are not great, but are adequate for 1 or 2 nights.



That being said.



The Flamingo is a nicer older property with nice grounds and a few decent restaurants. However, the rooms leave something to be desired.



I would suggest ruling out both properties and check the rates for the Luxor. Ask for a newly renovated tower room on a high floor. The rooms are fantastic and feature huge marble bathrooms and immaculate rooms. You also get spectacular views from this tower.



I have stayed at every 4 Star and above property in Las Vegas over the last few years. There are only a few that I would stay in again. The Four Seasons, Wynn, Luxor and The Hotel at Mandalay Bay.



I would not stay at any of the others due to the fact that there are no separate entrances for the hotel portions, long walks to get to your room, undesirables lurking near hotel elevators and very poor parking situations.



You are best to stay on the South Strip (Luxor, The Hotel, 4Seasons) - As it is more accessible and much safer come nightfall.
You could try to get in their web sites and check all they offer. It all depends on what you like the best.
MGM by far, I was just there last night for dinner at the Rain Forrest......The Flamingo is an older place. The MGM is really neat inside...lots of cool things to see.
MGM Grand. But be aware that it is so large that it takes a long time for everything -- to get through to the operator, room service, etc. For me that got annoying. I haven't stayed there since, but the rooms are very nice.
I stay a both of them and I would advise you to stay at The MGM Grand.
I would go for MGM Grand.
I would say MGM Grand very nice hotel with lots to do
By far, the MGM. It's newer and more hip than the Flamingo.
Just stayed at the Flamingo a few weeks ago. I wouldn't stay at the Flamingo unless you are getting one of their new room "Go Rooms". That's what I stayed in and I loved it! I heard their regular rooms aren't so great (probably why they are in the process of renovating). Go to TripAdvisor and check out the Candid Traveler Photos to get an idea of the New rooms vs the Old regular rooms. And i wouldn't suggest their Buffet for dinner either. I wasn't please with the selections. But other than that i was happy with the hotel. Easy access to the monorail, centrally located on the strip and i got a great deal on the room. I stayed there for 1 night only on my trip. But they did charge me $100 for incidental fees (web access, etc.). Wasn't too happy about that but it's refunded to you when you check out. Just be prepared for that if you choose the Flamingo.



I haven't had the opportunity yet to stay at MGM but i've never heard anything negative about the hotel. It's never been priced right for me when i visit. I walked through MGM several times during my trip for their food court, monorail access and it's at a great location on the strip. Liked their buffet a lot on previous trips.



Enjoy your Trip
MGM! I was just there and thats where we stayed. its massive and its awesome. The flamingo didnt seem like anything special to me when we went by it. we didnt even bother to go in. MGM for sure. Its the biggest hotel in the world!!!!
They are both nice. The MGM Grand is newer, and I think the rooms are nicer. But the Flamingo is also a very nice hotel with cool gardens %26amp; pool. It has more old-Vegas style %26amp; charm. I would probably pick the Flamingo for that reason.
