PH vs Flamingo

Booked an attraction view Flamingo room (which to my understanding means it’s been “recently” renovated) at the Flamingo for our 3/20-3/23 trip and am now having second thoughts. I’ve only been to Vegas once and we stayed at the Flamingo then, but that was 12 years ago…

My top priorities for a hotel are cleanliness and no smoke smell in the hotel room. I saw someone mention that “access” to higher end hotels like Cosmo, Bellagio, and Aria is better at PH, but I’m not exactly sure what the benefit of this is other than less walking? I love good food, so having decent restaurants is somewhat important to me, but again, we can walk. I don’t really care too much about gambling, so the casino isn’t a huge factor in my choice.

We’re going for Dead & Co, so wanted to remain a somewhat walkable distance to The Sphere. Unfortunately the smoke-free Vdara and Park MGM are a bit out of our price range, so those are off the table.

Would love anyone’s thoughts on PH vs Flamingo!
