Great report, Shadow!
I spent most of my Vegas time sick. It was all I could do to stagger to the convention hall; then later try to drown my cold with free scotch while hacking and wheezing all over slot machines (in isolated sections of the casino). Only ate 1 meal in 5 days - and that was a mediocre room-service steak.
Doubt I'll stay at the Flamingo again. Poor experience aside; the desk clerk told me (on check-out) that they would soon be leaving the HHonors program entirely.
Cheers,
