Where the hell should I stay. I have no idea what the Linq is. I am pretty sure I can do without a stay at the Flamingo, although it would be most convenient. I have not stayed at the Quad (IP) in 25 years and it was horrible back then. Ballys is close? or walk to Caesars/Bellagio which is kind of a drag as I usually go to my room 2-3 times a day.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance guys.
I do get a free room at the Linq on my Harrahs account, what the

Staying at the Flamingo mid May. Stayed here before in one of the renovated rooms. Ling is the old IP and the room rates are high now along with the old Bills now the Cromwell. Harrahs and Flamingo are now the bargains on the strip for Ceasar properties.

I booked the Flamingo. I used to be someone. They still rate me even though I am now staying at the Mlife properties 95% of the time. They never really thought all that much of my play. I am not kidding myself, nor am I dropping big coin at the tables.
The rate for the convention was 85 weekday and 125 weekend. The Harrahs rewards rated me at 27-27-65-50 for T,W,Th,F (I know the 65 is awfully odd rate). They then dinged me for the resort fee of 25/night.
I imagine they will put me in the old rooms. It is just me so I really do not care, if my wife decides to go we will at least need a go room. I will report back.
I am staying there cause like I said, at the convention, I am usually hung over and need a nap around noon. Walking across the street and back multiple times is a pain in the arse.
30 years of going to Vegas and my first time in the Flamingo, almost impossible to believe.

Got in today to the flamingo. As bad as I feared. The worst part is the video poker is 56. Paperthin walls and I can hear my neighbor TV.I asked for a new room so they put me at the very end of the hall, it is a serious 90 second walk from the elevator. The room is new and nice enough for me. The hallway is an absolute dump.
Felt like having a beer, seven dollars in the food court, six dollars at the little pizza place, four dollars in the convenient store in the casino, six dollars for a 24 ounce in the convenient store.
Staying in a dive he hotel and still have to pay seven dollars for a beer in the food court? The walkway outside to the new high roller is very cool. The conference starts tomorrowand I will feel more fresh and actually gamble little bit. I simply refuse to play video poker on the 5/6 machine

What do you mean by 5/6?

You can tell the odds on a video poker machine by the payout. Since it has to use a 52 card deck, the only way to change the house edge is by changing the payouts. The easiest pay table to look at is jacks or better. The payouts are standard 1,2,3,4 for the pair, two pair, three of a kind and then straight. When you get to the flush and full house you can see the house withholding. The best machines for flush and full house are 6-9. these used to be pretty common in Vegas but are now quite rare. If played correctly the house edge is right around 1%. The 5 to 6 machine that they have at the flamingo gives the house about a five percent edge. This difference is huge
