nice chips! I stayed/played at the Flamingo while I was in Vegas this January. I enjoyed the poker room, found the dealers friendly enough (every room has their exceptions), and the players were a good mix of grinders and social players (fish). I'm sure I was one of the fish (lol). I played a number of rooms while there, and although my experience was limited to one 4-day weekend, I enjoyed the Flamingo most. It was my most consistently profitable room, and it was where I was staying (convenience). Major points were docked for not having a convenient restroom nearby tho.
I loved the many different red-birds, even though the mix of manufacturers kinda sent my chip OCD on mini-tilt. I think the different $1's bothered me more, since the reds were just a mess (I ignored them), but the $1's would be a nice stack of pretty blue non-spotted chips, with 1 or 2 spotted in there... It wasn't a deal breaker for me tho.
