Chances are you already know the name, but what you may not have heard about the iconic Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas is the celebrated pool is undergoing a $20 million transformation of its GO Pool.

The new GO Pool complex covers almost 1.5 acres, with five separate temperature-controlled pools, 33 stylishly furnished V.I.P. cabanas, cool-deck surfacing, night lighting, a state-of-the-art sound system and a variety of experiences. At the main pool, guests have access to a swim-up, canopied bar with in-water seating for 30 people, a 50-foot rain curtain waterfall and a grotto pool that pours into the main pool.

DJs keep things lively seven days a week, and guests can maximize the relaxation component with in-water couches, daybeds and cabana rentals. Food and beverage services include cooling favorites such as frozen daquiris and signature mojitos.

Located in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, the hotel’s GO Pool offers complimentary general admission on a first-come, first-serve basis to hotel and non-hotel guests ages 21 and up.

“For decades, the famous GO Pool has been a destination favorite during pool season, and we recognize our guests’ loyalty to the brand,” said Dan Walsh, SVP and general manager, Flamingo Las Vegas. “This project is not a renovation; it’s a completely different pool complex that was constructed from the ground up. The team has worked tirelessly for months to develop a new GO Pool that honors the rich history of the Flamingo with a stylish and modern aesthetic inspired by the resort’s origins. We look forward to offering an elevated pool experience and exceptional VIP service to our guests.”

Counting Stars: Acclaimed Restaurants Elevate Hotel Dining

The dining experience began long before I even stepped foot into the 2-Michelin-starred restaurant at Hotel Arts Barcelona. As my husband and I checked in, we could tell the property was already setting the tone for what was to come. A private elevator brought us to the club level where we were greeted with two key cards for our hotel room and two freshly poured glasses of bubbling Cava Gran Reserva, perfectly chilled and perfectly timed.

Leopard Sands River Lodge Review

Getting to and from Leopard Sands River Lodge in Kruger National Park is half the fun, as it is a short, scenic drive from tiny Skukuza Airport (possibly one of the most attractive and mellow in existence) and main entrance of Kruger National Park, which turns 100 in 2026. Having evolved into a well-oiled machine since its December 2023 opening, it presents its first “wow” moment 30 minutes before even setting foot on the property. As baggage is brought in from the plane, drivers from the lodge set out a selection of beer; soft drinks; and locally produced dried fruit, nut mixes and biltong (the South African cousin to jerky). It’s a small sample of what’s to come.

Review: The Peninsula London

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Flying into London early comes with its ups and downs, as I typically anticipate waiting in a sort of limbo until my room is ready. But Paul from The Peninsula London was already waiting at London Heathrow with a smile, and he drove us to the hotel in a luxury car, complete with massagers, while we chatted away. Circling into the iconic courtyard was a treat in itself (Paul pointed out some of the other top-class cars), and staff at check-in warmly welcomed us, offering our tired and dehydrated selves some water. We were escorted up to our room immediately.
