Westgate Flamingo Bay Resort

Is Westgate Flamingo Bay Resort Worth It? Honest Review, Rooms & Rates

Westgate Flamingo Bay Resort is a quiet, all-villa timeshare property about two and a half miles southwest of the Las Vegas Strip, offering a residential alternative to the casino mega-resorts. Instead of standard hotel rooms it books one- and two-bedroom villas ranging from 519 to 971 square feet, each with a fully equipped kitchen, a separate living room and, in most units, an in-unit washer and dryer — genuine space for families and longer stays to spread out and self-cater.

The grounds are non-gaming and low-key, built around a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, a fitness center and a cluster of sports courts (basketball, shuffleboard, a practice putting green, ping-pong and horseshoe pits). Self-parking is free, and a scheduled shuttle runs to the Strip, Fremont Street and the resort's sister property, the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.

The trade-offs are real. There is no casino, no on-site restaurant and no nightlife, so dining and gaming mean a short drive or the shuttle rather than a walk downstairs. A nightly resort fee of $33.88 is added on top of the room rate, check-out is an early 10 a.m., and — as at most timeshare resorts — walk-in guests may be pitched an ownership presentation. For travelers who value kitchen space and quiet over a Strip-front address, though, it is a comfortable, well-priced base.

Insider tipIf in-room laundry matters on a longer stay, skip the entry-level 519 sq ft One-Bedroom Villa — it is the only layout without an in-unit washer/dryer. The One-Bedroom Deluxe and both two-bedroom villas each include one, so ask for a Deluxe when you book.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Westgate Flamingo Bay Resort from the Las Vegas Strip?

About 2.5 miles southwest, so it is not walkable. It is roughly a 10-minute drive to the center Strip, and the free scheduled shuttle runs to the Strip and Fremont Street if you would rather not drive or pay for parking there.

What does the resort fee actually cover?

The $33.88 nightly fee bundles in-room Wi-Fi, the Strip and Fremont shuttle, pool and fitness-center access, in-room coffee, local phone calls and use of the sports courts and equipment. Unlike a casino resort's fee, most of what it covers is usable during a quiet self-catering stay.

Is there a casino or restaurant on site?

No to both — the grounds are non-gaming with no on-site restaurant or room service. The catch-free workaround: the complimentary shuttle stops at the sister Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, so you can reach a full casino floor and its dining without a rideshare.

Will I have to sit through a timeshare presentation?

No. Booking a nightly stay does not obligate you to anything. As at most timeshare resorts, walk-in guests may be offered an ownership presentation, but it is optional and you can decline it at the front desk.

What are the check-in and check-out times, and is a deposit required?

Check-in is 4 p.m. and check-out is an early 10 a.m., so plan your last morning accordingly. A $200 refundable incidental deposit (credit card or cash) is also collected at check-in on top of the room rate.

Where do guests eat if they are not cooking?

Every villa has a full kitchen, and an on-site sundries shop covers snacks and essentials for quick self-catering. For a meal out, Strip dining is a short shuttle ride or drive away rather than a walk downstairs.
