We opted for the scallops and lobster risotto to start, followed by the beef wellington and dry-aged New York strip for our main courses, and finished with a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The appetizers were exceptional. The scallops paired perfectly with the pea puree, and the risotto was bursting with flavor. The lobster added a satisfying crunch to the dish. Moving on to the entrees, there was a slight drop in quality compared to the stellar appetizers. While my New York strip was cooked to perfection, it was disappointingly chewy. The beef wellington started off well but ended up tasting somewhat strange, almost like ham. Lastly, the dessert was average. The cake lacked moisture without the caramel drizzle, and the caramel itself was a bit grainy, suggesting it may have been overcooked. Although I'm a devoted fan of the show and was excited to try this renowned restaurant, I found it to be pricy for the overall experience. The appetizers were the standout dishes for me, and I would consider ordering them again.
The Flamingo boasts a wonderful theme and prime location on the strip, complete with ducks and flamingos on the property adding to the ambiance. However, my experience with check-in was less than stellar. The process took an hour due to the large number of guests, and we were initially directed to a virtual kiosk that didn't help. Despite booking adjoining rooms, we were unable to secure them and faced unexpected fees. For the first three days of my stay, my room was not visited by housekeeping until I called the front desk. Additionally, the bathroom amenities were lacking, with empty shampoo and conditioner dispensers and no body wash or hand soap provided. The pillows in the room were uncomfortably stiff and large, causing neck strain while sleeping. Check-out was another ordeal, with long lines and malfunctioning kiosks, forcing us to leave without proper closure. Overall, while the Flamingo's location and ambiance are enjoyable, the room issues and check-in/check-out process proved to be frustrating and stressful.
