Flamingo Neopolitan Suites

Does anyone know if these new rooms are ready? Has anyone stayed in one if so? How are they?

Flamingo Neopolitan Suites

I believe these have been available for a month or so. I haven%26#39;t stayed in one yet - can only get the regular GO rooms comped. Neapolitan Suites seem to be running around $350/night %26amp; Metropolitan Suites about twice that (all depending on what time of year you%26#39;re going).

Here%26#39;s a link to pics of some of the Flamingo rooms:

Flamingo Neopolitan Suites

They are ready and available to be booked, but they are expensive at this point. We are double Diamond players and hopeing to get one on our next trip in February, but not expecting it.

OMG, I think the entire floor of GO rooms is Neopolitan, like the ice cream. I had no idea they were actually calling suites that. Too funny.

I stayed in one last summer before they were called Neopolitan Suites. I can%26#39;t pick up on any changes they made in giving the room a new name. It is a ';double wide'; GO room. Full size bedroom and full size living room all in one open space. It was spacious, funky, and comfortable. But there were a bunch of minor annoyances. There is a large closet with a light in it. But you can only turn on the light from next to the bed or the entrance door to the room, niether of which are near the closet. There is only one electric outlet over by the entertainment center. The bathroom had no towel racks or hooks, everything was rolled up in funky GO room style, but it became a nuisance piling everything up on one of the two sinks. The toilet is set up in an unusual way in the bathroom. It is in a space that is certainly big enough to be its own room, but it is not. It sits alone in corner of the room that has to be 10 feet by 10 feet. No pictures on the walls, no other furnishings, just a toilet in the midst of a vast empty space. I was in a room facing the Strip, that is the side that has the Toni Braxton billboard on it. I hate those things, as they obstruct your view But all in all, still a great room.

we have one booked for May.

i%26#39;ll be sure to post lots of pictures and a full review of the room, as i also wasn%26#39;t able to find too much information on it here on this forum.

they are quite pricey, ours was about $600 a night for the weekend we%26#39;re there, but hopefully it will be worth it.

Just my opinion, but from what they look like, they are not worth $600 for a night when a regular GO room is around $200. They are only a few square feet bigger and seem to be around the size of a Rio room. We are comped all nights and maybe would pay a few dollars a night to upgrade for the extra room, but no way would we pay $400 more a night.

Now the Metropolitian Suite, that is a different story with 1500 sf and 4 TV%26#39;s.

We are comped in a Neopolitan Suite for 5 nights for our April trip. I can%26#39;t imagine any room I would pay 600/nite for, but comp is a different story. Our original reservations were for the Augustus tower at Caesars. We decided to take a chance on thses new rooms. I will post a review as to whether or not we made a wise decision. At least it will be different.

ashevalley- That is great that you were comped the suite. I have a question for you. My son is getting married at the Flamingo in April, and we (my husband %26amp; me) have our room comped through TR%26#39;s for the 4 nights we%26#39;re there. I would like to upgrade to a nicer GOroom, and don%26#39;t care if we have to pay extra for it. Do you think I should call ahead and reserve it, or take my chances and wait until we check in? From other posts I%26#39;ve read you get a better deal when you upgrade at check=in, but I%26#39;m thinking maybe I should call them ahead of time to set it up. Do they upgrade over the phone? Just not clear on how it works. Thanks for any help. Enjoy your suite!

If I really wanted to upgrade I%26#39;d go ahead and pay for it now. Better that than to be disappointed later. If you are being comped anyway, try contacting a casino host. I don%26#39;t know your playing status but the host can do things that reservation clerks can%26#39;t do. I have found the hosts at Flamingo very pleasant to deal with.

Congrats and have a wonderful trip.

Thanks for your quick response. That%26#39;s what I will do.
