The LINQ Hotel + Experience is a value-priced center-Strip hotel with compact modern rooms, the High Roller and Fly LINQ zipline at its back door, and the LINQ Promenade's bars and restaurants outside. It suits people who will spend little time in their room and want to walk to most of the center Strip.
The LINQ sits between Flamingo and Harrah's on the east side of the center Strip, with Caesars Palace across the boulevard. Its draw is location for the price. Step out the side door and you are on the LINQ Promenade, an open-air street of more than 30 bars, restaurants and shops that leads to the High Roller observation wheel.
The Fly LINQ zipline launches from the Strip end of the Promenade. The hotel has about 2,250 rooms, including 244 suites, poolside cabana rooms and the first bunk-bed rooms on the Strip, which work well for groups of friends or families with older kids. There are also 25 poolside cabana rooms whose private patios open onto the pool deck.
Be realistic about the rooms. Standard rooms run roughly 300 to 375 square feet, so they are small by Las Vegas standards, with modern finishes, good beds and limited storage. Premium rooms add space and a second TV, and some higher rooms look onto the Strip or the High Roller.
Elevators can back up on busy weekend evenings, and the casino floor is loud and lively. If you want a calm retreat, look elsewhere. If you want to be out until late and walk everywhere, the LINQ makes sense. Request a high floor away from the elevators for the best chance of a quiet night.
Influence, the hotel's pool deck, is 21 and over, with daybeds, cabanas and DJs, and it runs on a seasonal schedule, so check whether it is open for your dates. Downstairs, Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar, Hash House A Go Go and Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips cover casual meals, and O'Sheas brings beer pong and an Irish-pub feel to the casino.
The Spa at The LINQ has a Himalayan salt cave. CAESARS FORUM, the conference center, is right behind the hotel. Parking is paid and a nightly resort fee is charged on top of the room rate, so check the total. During the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend (held each November) the area is busy, with road closures and higher rates.
