The Flamingo Hotel is planning on redecorating the 2,300 rooms.

Here is the room we had in 2007:



It was a large room, this is only one of the beds.

Here is a room from a stay in 2009. Hopefully it looks better in person - that shiny headboard looks like whipped egg whites.



The new look is going to feature hardwood floors, the first I've ever seen in a Vegas hotel room, and touches of pink to underline the 'flamingo' concept.



Whenever I think about the name 'flamingo' I remember a former Las Vegas traffic reporter who pronounced it "Flaming-O" as in: Traffic on the Strip is backed up due to an accident on Flaming-O.
