Nice! Do you happen to have the views to the left and to the right? Curious to see how much of the Strip is visible, and if you can see Elara.
No - sorry. I did try taking a couple but the glass distorted it so I had deleted them.

You can see a small sliver of the strip between a couple of towers. I don’t recall seeing the Elara but that likely would have been blocked by the Paris Casino. The Flamingo location is great in terms of being located center strip - but it most definitely doesn’t have a strip view like you get at Elara.

That said, I did enjoy the view and atmosphere at the Flamingo Go pool much more than the Elara :cool: .

Views from Craigendarroch, Scotland. Some units have views of sheep in the field and some up the hill have a filtered view of the valley. We had the interior grassy view below (very nice). The resort consists of townhouses with sleeping on first floor and living on second in most units.

Last two photos are at Craigendarroch Summit which is a healthy hike up the hill from the resort. Town of Ballater is below.

I was there in May and didn’t have quite as nice a view as you, but we were still pleased.

@Ken555 That is a nice view. What unit number was that? IMO I don't think there is a bad view in the place - very private.

The units on the very top lane are newer and likely have a valley view but their decks are small.

Yes, we enjoyed it.

Building 42, though I forget the exact unit number. Which was yours?

Looks beautiful. What building are you in? We own there and I never know which building to request.
This was building #5 - specifically the ground floor villa unit on the right side (if facing the carport). We did move the chairs out onto the grass just off the lanai for a more front and center view.
