Participants of our festival will be able to enjoy not only concert programs and performances, but also the high level of service, which in Las Vegas is manifested in absolutely everything and in hotels, in particular. Caesars Palace (and “Hangover in Vegas” remember?) As the main hotel for accommodation of our participants, we chose the magnificent three-star Flamingo Las Vegas hotel in the heart of Vegas, next to the most famous hotels Bellagio and Caesars Palace.
The Flamingo Las Vegas hotel simply conquered the organizing committee of the festival. And here it is difficult to even say with what exactly.
For our favorite participants, we book rooms with two large double beds, on which two adults fit not only without problems, but also very conveniently. Also with an internal telephone, hairdryer, safe, as well as a TV built into the mirror in the bathroom.
Accommodation is included in the participation fee. The main hotel accommodation is Flamingo Hotel Las Vegas, located in the very center of the new city, opposite the famous singing fountains of the BELLAGIO hotel. From the hotel you can reach the sights on foot, almost everything is within walking distance
