Flamingo Owners - How are you voting on the Linq project

[Maverick1963]

I got the answer.

I sent an email to the contact included in the ballot paper.
Following was the answer:

"The two items below were part of the contractual terms agreed upon by
Caesars Entertainment and your HOA board. If the majority of the vote is
approving the amendment then the below items will come into place."

The two items I mentioned in my email are - Free access to the Flamingo
Las Vegas pool and Reduced music volume.

It is a little late but hope this will be of some help. As a matter of fact,
I had voted Yes early on.

Well then, if it ends up being voted down, it's management's own fault. I ended up voting no because those items were not in any legal document that they sent to us members. In fact, I'd still like to see those "contractual terms", if they exist.

[icroyals]

I voted yes.

 

[RLG]

I voted no.

I don't see any evidence that the board acted like people who own the property and are being asked to sell something which is quite valuable to the adjoining property owner.

 

[Aquaman55]

I learned on the QT the other day that according to the number of ballots cast so far, there is already a majority of owners who have voted in favor.

 

[loosefeet]

I was for it-liked the idea of more to do, get bored with the strip . Sound a bit odd, but how do I get my freebies from Ceasers palace promised if I replied earl ( I think it was 2 buffets)?

 

[Jasmine658]

bump

Any news, deadline for votes, tallies for Linq?

 

[Aquaman55]

The majority of voters have approved. It's a go.

Fine Print:

Expiration 1/1/14

So if you voted early, watch the mail!

 

[UWSurfer]

Ours arrived in today's mail as well.

It will be interesting to see if this means 24 hours where you can visit any of the buffets mentioned, like in their Buffet of Buffets (BoB) plan. The way it reads implies 24 hours at any (one) of the buffets listed...meaning once you pick one that's where you go.

We did BoB once before and found that 24 hours is literal. If you start with a late meal (say a late breakfast), you can go back the next day for your last meal so long as you enter within the 24 hour window.

fyi...

 

[loosefeet]

Got my passes today. Now need to bis it the Flamingo again and use them. Last time I visited, found many Gropons that we used-got many services 1/2 off that way. Just an FYI for bargain hunters.

I'm at Flamingo now for President's Day weekend. Las Vegas is busy. Here are a couple updates.

The linq project is underway with heavy equipment on the site where the old Summer Bay resort had been. Lots of traffic directed down the alley that is the back of IP and HGVC flamingo heading to Audry and Flamingo Rd.

Winick, which fed to Koval in back is now closed. Audry can feed up to Koval via Albert, but you can only turn right (south) on to Koval from it...no left turn from it to Koval. Thus most traffic is forced out to Flamingo. One of my shortcut escapes north is now no longer available as a result. It should be noted on Google maps, the road which runs from Audry through Flamingo to the strip is shown also as Winick, and that is open.

The FHRC (HGVC Flamingo) reserved parking is in place on the third floor of the older Flamingo parking structure. Fairly easy to access with Reserved signs noting tow away without a permit. Unsure who checks for these as it was mostly parked up this evening. This is directly across from the south tower, whose elevator puts you directly across the street from the entrance to the garage. From the south tower it's pretty convenient.

Everyone here is super friendly. Got a new towel animal upon arrival in our 1 bdrm. Renovations were done a year or so ago and look nice, although the old classic flamingo pink, while gone definitely had more character than the updated rooms. Still cleaner.

Pool is closed and being replastered. Summer Bay across Koval, now Orange Lake is now with a finished entrance and relabeled Holiday Inn Vacation Club, Desert Club Resort.

Hilton's huge sign is still up at the hotel formerly known as Hilton, but the Hilton lettering has been removed. The entry rug outside the east tower door still reads Las Vegas Hilton and the place was humming tonight as well. I'll take a look at O'Shea's and other construction a bit later in the weekend.

 

[Craigvince]

I'm here too

Maybe we should've put together a TUG gathering this weekend.
I haven't received any coupons or vouchers yet, I wish I had before coming, but we're here 3 or 4 times a year, so I'm sure they'll get used.

 

[cobourgladdie]

So howcum no Caesars Buffet? We get the second tier - some bribe for a big giveaway

I think I had only parked once in the O'Sheas parking garage while at HGVC Flamingo. As I recall, most of the parking was marked as Employee Parking...where are the HGVC employees going to park now? I always used the Flamingo parking garage..

I voted NO on the Linq. Did not see any advantages to the owners over what we already had. Caesars offer was pretty light. IMO The BOD sold us out again, just like they did with giving right of way (and part of the property too?) to the Monorail. Summer Bay had made a sweet deal with the Monorail but HGVC didn't ask for ANYTHING even though all of that butt-ugly Monorail equipment completely blocks off the timeshare. The Monorail could have built their Flamingo Monorail station adjacent to the Flamingo parking garage rather than in front of the timeshare...The Flamingo BOD does what's best for HILTON and NOT the timeshare owners.

The Monorail could have built their Flamingo Monorail station adjacent to the Flamingo parking garage rather than in front of the timeshare...

Only if they tore down the strip mall that includes Battista's Hole in the Wall. While the liquor store in that mall is convenient for picking up soft drinks and snacks, I could live without it. But tear down Battista's? NEVER!

Besides, the monorail station can only be seen from the hallways, not the timeshare units themselves. I don't see the problem.

The Flamingo BOD does what's best for HILTON and NOT the timeshare owners.

That part is true. Though it's probably no different than any other hotel-affiliated timeshare system.

Especially when they get free iPads!
