It was a minor inconvenience and I’m sure they’re working to refine the process. It took me 5-minutes to flag down an available employee who informed me “Yea, that machine doesn’t work” and got me in line for one that did. Once I finally got to a kiosk myself, the machine repeatedly failed to read my driver’s license. Now, Flamingo had a couple of employees there to both direct guests to the next open machine and assist those having issues, but they were so busy helping guests that there was nobody left to keep guests moving towards open machines. Then there was a “traffic management” issue where the next guest in line frequently failed to realize that one, or more, of the working kiosks were available. While there were about 20 total kiosks available, I’d estimate that 33% were out of service. While I’ve always been a fan of self-serve kiosks, it was evident that many guests were unfamiliar with the process, which caused delays. My experience at Flamingo was a touch more challenging, in part, because they have moved to an all-kiosk check-in experience. I’m typically able to skip the line and opt for a kiosk, allowing me to breeze through the process in minutes. Usually, guests have the option to either wait in line for a person or opt to use a self-serve kiosk to get their room keys. While the check-in process at Caesars resorts is typically quick, this one was frustrating. Related: Hotels in Las Vegas with recently renovated rooms.

If you get a chance request Crystal as your server and Derrick. We did choose to eat lunch in the cabana and had a bit of down time. The daybed are nice but if you have a larger group the cabana for sure. Is it worth it? Well, currently the pool attendance is cut in half and with limited capacity the sure way to guarantee access is to rent a cabana or a daybed. In the pool, I guess the chlorine likely kills Covid? Is it worth the cost? So a cabana ranges from $200- $600 on weekends. It just seems like weird masks rules, but we followed them. Covid: You have to wear a mask at all times outside of the pool except when eating or drinking. Derrick brought us towels, set the mist, turned off the mist, turned it back on again, etc. They are your personal cabana boy and cocktail server. Derrick and Crystal were phenomenal!
