Westgate Flamingo Bay Resort

The resort & setting

Westgate Flamingo Bay Resort sits on West Flamingo Road in Las Vegas, Clark County, just off the famous Strip corridor. Google's own summary describes it plainly: low-key villas with full kitchens and whirlpool tubs, an outdoor pool, and a free shuttle that runs guests to and from the Strip. With a 4.2 rating from 1,761 Google reviews, it's a well-established, no-frills option within the Westgate Resorts portfolio — the kind of property that suits owners who want comfortable self-catering space rather than a casino-floor address, while still being minutes from the action.

The resort is part of Westgate Resorts, a brand with a long track record in the timeshare industry, and villas here are built around flexibility: a kitchen for cooking rather than eating out every night, a soaking tub to unwind in after a day on your feet, and a pool to retreat to when the desert heat gets serious.

The area and things to do

Las Vegas needs little introduction. Flamingo Road puts owners and renters within a short shuttle ride of the Strip's casinos, shows, restaurants and shopping, while Las Vegas Boulevard, the Fremont Street Experience downtown, and nearby airport-area attractions are all reachable without needing a hire car for every outing. Clark County's dry desert climate brings hot summers and mild winters, so spring and autumn tend to be the most comfortable months for walking the Strip. Golf courses, outlet malls and the Red Rock Canyon desert landscape are all within reasonable driving distance for owners who want a change of pace from the neon.

Selling or renting a week here

Owners who decide a Westgate Flamingo Bay week no longer fits their travel plans can list it for sale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing appears to buyers and renters searching the platform, and interested parties contact you directly — there's a one-time listing fee and 0% commission on the sale itself, so nothing is taken from your final price.

Before listing, it's worth understanding how a Westgate transfer actually works, since the brand's own transfer process shapes what a buyer receives. According to Westgate, a resale transfer typically costs around $500 and takes 12 weeks or more to complete through the brand's transfer process — factor that timeline into your listing and any sale agreement. Westgate also holds a right of first refusal, which owners report is used only occasionally, but it means a sale isn't guaranteed to go through to your buyer until Westgate has had the chance to exercise or waive that right.

Resale buyers at Westgate should also know that owners report a 60-day booking window for resale-acquired weeks (30 days on some deeds), compared with the more flexible windows typically given to buyers who purchase directly from the developer. Internal exchange fees are also reported to run higher for resale owners — around $700, versus $169 for direct buyers. If exchanging through a network matters to you, RCI and Interval International are the verified networks associated with this resort, so confirm current membership and exchange eligibility for the specific week and unit before buying or selling.

Renters, meanwhile, are typically looking for straightforward things: confirmed dates, a kitchen-equipped villa, and easy access to the Strip without resort-fee surprises — all points worth spelling out clearly in your listing description.

Practical notes

Address any sale or rental enquiry with the week, unit size and usage type clearly stated, since Westgate's internal rules (booking windows, exchange fees, right of first refusal) directly affect what a buyer is purchasing. Confirm the current annual maintenance fee and any outstanding special assessments with Westgate or the owners' association before agreeing a price, as these figures change year to year and aren't fixed by the resale transaction itself.
