as stated in this thread, harrahs has a starbucks (three to be exact) but none are open at 5:30 am, which is what you asked.
neither is the coffee cart at flamingo or the barbary coast. which i assume you also knew, which probably prompted your question to begin wtih.
if you are like me and at 5:30 am you are searching for a simple way to buy coffee, as you clearly stated, you may not want to sit down at a bar or go to a coffee shop and eat. i would never want to sit at a machine and wait for a cocktail server, i want to buy my coffee now. i only drink iced, blah blah blah, why do i have to explain this just to get a simple answer to my question?
oh wait, it was your question. sorry, my lva defenses kicked in there.
YOU may just want to buy a cup of coffee.
the answer is: you cant without walking a bit.
im an iced coffee addict and i MUST MUST MUST have iced coffee first thing before anything. when i stay at the imperial palace, i walk over to the mcdonalds next to harrahs, its the closest place.
for the flamingo, id probably do the same, or maybe you could walk to the 24 hour starbucks at the westin, kind of a hike and you dont get the "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" of having the early am strip to yourself.
i dont know why there isnt a 24 hour starbucks in any of the strip hotels other than planet hollywood. or maybe there is and i am just unaware. id ask the board for the location of one, but id probably get answers telling me that caffiene is bad and i should switch to herbal tea.
best of luck to you!

This may be the best answer to a question on these forums that I have ever heard.
Everybody that is planning on posting a reply on LVA should be required to read this post by jenaphir.
