Flamingo’s Go Pool has been given a $20 million overhaul and the wildly popular pool complex will make its debut just in time for the 2025 pool season.<\/p>\n

The Go Pool covers 1.5 acres at Flamingo and features five temperature-controlled pools, a 30-seat swim-up bar, 33 VIP cabanas and more.<\/p>\n

Out is the faded and gloomy cave waterfall, in is a sparkly new 50-foot-wide “rain curtain” waterfall.<\/p>\n

We took this photo when we worked at Caesars Entertainment. Every job has its moments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes, Caesars Entertainment provided a rendering of the renovated Go Pool at Flamingo, but we took that photo in 2011 during a media thing for the Miss USA pageant and had to share it. Sorry, not sorry. It was a very special day.<\/p>\n

Here’s the layout of the new Go Pool.<\/p>\n

The wings of flamingos in captivity are trimmed so they can’t fly. It’s called “pinioning.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the best parts of Flamingo’s Go Pool is it’s 21-plus, something we didn’t know until we read the news release. Yes, we occasionally read. Rude.<\/p>\n

Another best part? Cool-deck surfacing.<\/p>\n

The worst part? DJs, of course.<\/p>\n

A Flamingo rep says it’s a misnomer to call this a “renovation.”<\/p>\n

Dan Walsh, SVP and General Manager of Flamingo Las Vegas, states, “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.”<\/p>\n

News release executive quotes gonna news release executive quote, but Walsh makes a good point. The Go Pool was stripped down to nothing, so this isn’t just lipstick on a pig.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the Go Pool during its transformation.<\/p>\n
