    Flamingo main pool Over 18 only


    I know most of you dont take kids, but we do and have done for past 13 years.

    I always recomended Flamingo for its location and pool, well it seems that from April 1st the lagoon pool (the big one with slides/waterfalls) is going to be Adult only and the small GO pool wich was the topless pool will be for familys.

    Thats not good for us so I am going to cancel my Aug booking

    Thanks crow and aldridge for advice on Ventian v Palazzo. They're the same price, so I'm still weighing up which would be best........

    One tip for anyone who likes the Luxor/Excalibur/ 4 queens is that there is a promotion running at the moment where you can stay for 4 nights at any time in the next 18 months for $124. You pay now but it gets refunded when you arrive so it's a free 4 nights !!!
    sorry, can you say this again / elaborate? I think I get what you're saying but how do you actually do this? :)

    It used to be topless, but they finished it last year. If you want topless there are still a few pools kicking around. No big deal really as the Americans still don't really go for whipping their tops off.
    In fact, trop has/had a a small adults only pool, now I don't know if that is topless or not.
    Have a look here

    Most hotels now will let you use their pools for a fee, and local girls get into lots of them free
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Not the greatest hotels but free

    How's it free, you have paid $124 for it?
    Do you mean it gets refunded completely or just deducted off of the bill?
