check in;; airport or hotel????

I and I do mean, I,,,,think the Flamingo is a dumpy hotel. It does have a beautiful pool area. The rooms I had were stained and torn. I never want to sleep in a bed covered with someone elses excrement or walk on puke stained or blood stained floors. At least make me think the room is clean. Anyhooooo, this was my experience. Many posters have stayed at Flamingo and love the rooms.

Check in is much quicker at the airport. You are given your room keys and can go to your room upon entering the hotel. Sometimes this may not be true and you may have to wait for a room.

Enjoy your trip.

check in;; airport or hotel????

Other than the fact that the lines are usually shorter, I don%26#39;t think it matters where you check in-airport or hotel. The same rooms are available at both places. Which room you get depends on what is available at the time and the person you are dealing with.

people keep saying about using (the $20 trick) when checking in

what is this?

The $20 trick is when you discreetly slip the desk clerk $20 in order to try to obtain a room upgrade. Depending on your point of view it can be seen as a bribe or a pre-tip. Some people here swear by it, others say you can get the same upgrade for free if you just ask very nicely. For more info, just type ';$20 trick'; into the search function and you will get a thousand posts on it.

I guess it doesn%26#39;t matter if you check in at the airport rather than the hotel itself.
