The LINQ Hotel + Experience sits at 3535 Las Vegas Boulevard South, squeezed onto the center Strip between Flamingo Las Vegas and Harrah’s Las Vegas. Owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment, the property traces back to the Flamingo Capri (1959) and the Imperial Palace (1979) before a top-to-bottom renovation relaunched it as The LINQ in 2014, tied to the debut of the High Roller observation wheel next door.
Stay here for the location and the price, not the pool scene: The LINQ is one of the more affordable full-service Strip resorts, and its front door opens directly onto the LINQ Promenade, an open-air retail and entertainment corridor anchored by the 550-foot High Roller wheel and Brooklyn Bowl. It’s a practical, walkable base for visitors who’d rather spend their budget on shows and dining than on room rate.

Rooms, Pool and Casino
Guest rooms are split across towers with contemporary, tech-forward decor, USB charging, and app-based controls; the lineup includes 244 suites, two penthouses, poolside cabana rooms, and the Strip’s first bunk-bed rooms aimed at families and groups. The casino floor is modest by Strip standards at roughly 33,900 square feet, keeping the gaming footprint compact compared to megaresorts nearby.
The seasonal outdoor pool deck is smaller and more low-key than the sprawling pool complexes at Caesars Palace or the Flamingo, with cabanas available but no wave pool or dayclub scene — a tradeoff guests make for the location and price.
Shows, Attractions and Dining
The main draw is stepping straight out of the lobby onto the LINQ Promenade, a 1,200-foot pedestrian corridor of shops, bars, and restaurants leading to the High Roller, the 550-foot observation wheel that opened in 2014 as one of the world’s tallest. Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas, a 78,000-square-foot bowling alley and live music venue, anchors the Promenade’s far end and hosts touring acts and late-night sets.
Magician Mat Franco holds a long-running residency on property, and Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club runs regular stand-up sets on the Promenade. Spiegelworld’s immersive DiscoShow, a $40 million production that opened in the Glitterloft space in 2024, closed for good after its final performance on January 3, 2026; the Glitterloft bar and 99 Prince, plus Diner Ross Steakhouse, continue operating in that space, alongside roughly nine restaurants covering casual and mid-range American dining.
Location and Who Should Stay Here
The LINQ’s center-Strip position makes it walkable to Caesars Palace and the Colosseum, Flamingo, Harrah’s, and the Bellagio fountains, with the Sphere and the Strip’s northern arena district a rideshare or long walk away. It suits budget-conscious couples, groups wanting bunk rooms, and travelers who prioritize nightlife access over resort-style pool amenities; it’s a less natural fit for guests chasing a luxury spa stay or a quiet, upscale retreat.

The LINQ Hotel + Experience FAQs
Does The LINQ Hotel charge a resort fee, and is parking free?
Yes — like other Caesars Entertainment Strip properties, The LINQ charges a nightly resort fee (roughly in the mid-$50s range) covering Wi-Fi and fitness center access, and self-parking is no longer free; both self and valet parking carry a daily charge. Confirm current rates when booking, as Caesars adjusts them periodically.
Is The LINQ Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip and walkable to other casinos?
Yes, it sits directly on the center Strip between Flamingo Las Vegas and Harrah’s Las Vegas, with the LINQ Promenade connecting guests on foot to the High Roller wheel, Brooklyn Bowl, and nearby Caesars Palace.
Is DiscoShow still playing at The LINQ?
No. Spiegelworld’s DiscoShow closed permanently after its final performance on January 3, 2026, following a roughly 16-month run. The Glitterloft venue’s bars and Diner Ross Steakhouse remain open, while Mat Franco’s magic show and Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club continue as the property’s current headline entertainment.
