Flamingo Las Vegas' $20 million transformation sees a brand new pool area that pays homage to the hotel's Mid-century Modern roots.
Go Pool is a 21+ multi-pool complex that spans an impressive 1.5 acres and has five sprawling swimming pool that have been designed for a mix of partying and relaxation.
'The Go Pool draws from the architecture of the iconic Flamingo Las Vegas resort and pool, especially during its 1946 opening,' explained a spokesperson for Caesars Entertainment.
A shaded walkway covered with pink beams serves as a bright and sophisticated entryway to the Go pool site, complete with yellow and white branded buoy rings and flashback photographs that highlight Flamingo Las Vegas' beginnings.
'Caesars Entertainment leadership and the design team referenced historical images of the resort throughout the decades and incorporated key design elements into the new pool complex,' explained a spokesperson for Caesars Entertainment. 'Additionally, the Go Pool reflects the current surroundings, architecture and dynamic energy of the Flamingo. The teams aimed to create a pool that complements the property's overall aesthetic in a creative way,'
'The Go Pool design reinterprets the Flamingo's Mid-century Modern roots with playful curves and Art Deco influences,' they explained. 'Elements like the stepped columns and flowing lines in the grotto facade and DJ booth echo features of the nearby Family Pool entry bridge,'
At the center of the Go Pool complex is the large main pool with a swim-up bar serving up Flamingo's signature beverages. There's a shallow wet deck with in-water daybeds and couches, and the main pool is located directly below the DJ booth, which sits atop the grotto. A dramatic 50-foot-wide 'rain curtain' waterfall above the grotto pool cascades into the main pool.
Three of the complex's five pools are reserved for VIP guests. The circular pool offers an oasis for those who are looking for a chill, relaxed vibe, while the 60-foot long rectangular pool is the perfect spot for those looking to party. Finally, the free-form VIP pool features three separate shallow wet deck areas, cabanas and in-water daybeds for guests who want to be close to the action in the main pool while enjoying a luxuriously exclusive experience.
'The restored Pavilion Bar and new swim-up bar also share Retro-Deco themes. The swim-up bar's horizontal metal banded façade, soft patina stone details, earthy pastel stucco and 'starburst' gold topper are a fresh play on the Pavilion Bar's Art Deco notes. Meanwhile, the cabanas evoke a breezy beach vibe with soft, wavy fabrics and pastel tones. Together, these features enhance the Flamingo's tropical oasis feel that guests know and love.'
To stay in line with the signature tropical vibe that the Flamingo Las Vegas is known for, the team transplanted 55 palm trees from the original pool complex, which took over a month to complete. Some trees weighed over 8,000 pounds, making it a significant logistical effort.
'With the all-new Go Pool, we aimed to create a space that is as vibrant as the Flamingo's history,' added Dan Walsh, SVP and General Manager of Flamingo Las Vegas. 'Every detail was carefully considered—from the color palette to the shapes of the pools—to deliver the modern amenities guests expect while also celebrating this iconic resort.'
