The Linq

The name The Linq may not sound familiar to many, especially old-school Vegas regulars. But if we talk about The Quad, Imperial Palace or even further afield, Flamingo Capri, it might refresh your memory to recall one of the oldest establishments in the city, opened in 1959.

In 2014, precisely on October 30, the change from Quad to Linq didn’t stop at the name. The facilities have been renovated and modernized, bringing an updated layout geared not only to the new aesthetics, but to the needs that the public has been looking for. The result? A great option for those looking for a privileged location in the center of the Strip, with fast services to give you even more time to enjoy the city that never sleeps.

Curiosity

One of the chapters of this name change has a legend, and of course we love to know these little-told stories, don’t we? So let’s get to the facts…

One of the meanings of Quad is four. Ok! So far, so good, but four means bad luck for Asian players. From this belief you can understand one of the main problems that the hotel has experienced in recent years, right?

Gamblers from these countries simply associated the name with the chances of attracting something “negative” to the gaming table, and for those who don’t know, this audience is extremely important for Las Vegas casinos because they are regulars for gambling and, of course, very superstitious.
 

Casino

And speaking of games…

This space shows the hotel’s continued concern with meeting guests’ needs. The space is free of labyrinths between machines (yes, some casinos are so big that the chance of getting lost inside is very high) and with staff ready to answer customers’ main questions, these are the things that stand out the most. After all, for first-time sailors, efficient service makes the game even better, don’t you agree?

There are 11,000 square meters, more than 800 slot machines and 55 table games available for tourists to enjoy. Maybe luck will be on your side on your trip?

Accommodation

The main difference between the suites are the options with a view of the High Roller, one of the world’s largest Ferris wheels, located next to the hotel. The 19 floors with 2,640 rooms are decorated with bright colors and contemporary furniture;

Regardless of the choice, guests can count on features to make their stay easier, such as iPod/Ipad and USB ports and state-of-the-art LED TVs.

Not forgetting comfort, queen size beds with pillow-top, microfiber bathrobes, toiletries and slippers are available for your enjoyment.

Differential: You can choose not only the standard options, but also rooms for smokers or non-smokers, and suites that allow pets, thus providing amenities for pets, with food and water bowls and an exclusive menu for them.

Leisure

Freshen up

Make time in your schedule for a dip in the pool in a tropical setting. Among the treats, you can feel like you’re on the Polynesian islands with themed cocktails offered at the bar. If you’re looking for more privacy, air-conditioned cabins with a fruit platter, drinks bucket, private bathroom and even foosball tables can make this one of the most VIP moments of your stay. Other than that, on the pool deck you’ll find a jacuzzi, poolside bar and complimentary towels.
Fitness

Located on the fourth floor, the gym offers state-of-the-art equipment with a treadmill, exercise bike, rowing or elliptical machines and a selection of weights.
To help with your workout, towels and water bottles are available to guests. Open from 06:00 to 18:00 daily.

Reminder: The fee for using this place is 10 dollars a day.

Attractions

For lovers of old cars, this is a unique opportunity. This showroom displays a collection of 250 cars famous for their antiquity and rarity. The great thing about this attraction is that visitors still have the chance to buy one of the pieces, as most of them are for sale. The vehicles on display are from different years, most of which belonged to a Hollywood artist, such as Johnny Carson’s “39 Chrysler” or the “29 Rolls-Royce Springfield Phantom” used in the film “The Great Gatsby”. The cars are displayed daily on the fifth floor of the hotel garage.

HIGH ROLLER
