I stay at the Linq every time I'm in Vegas. Cheap but somewhat nice rooms. Right in the middle of the strip too thats the biggest plus. If you're thinking about staying here, do it! You also get free entrance into the flamingo pool which is next door & huge.
Great video! Our first trip to Vegas we stayed at the linq, booked my adult kids there coming up.. I think you hit all the points here and couldn’t agree more. Great content
I like the Linq. Great value for sure. Awesome location and tremendous vibes.
Dude. That humming AC is prime sleep noise for me! 😆🥶😴 Heading out to the Linq this September for a work trip. No doubt they're putting us up in District 3 rooms. Always love watching your videos. Thanks for the great content.
Use to stay here , 54 times, when it was imperial palace and it was our home away from home. I came back once and stayed at the Linq. Yes it was great but for the older folks the Imperial Palace was small and quaint. I miss it !
What a great vlog. Loved the production on it. Have subscribed.
Agree Linq is fun. Cheap and cheerful.
Thanks so much! 😊
I stayed there once on an extremely short business trip. I chose the Linq because the room was 100% comped , when I am in vegas for fun, i gamble there. I checked in after midnight on the kiosk, went smooth. The room was extra clean and quiet once the door was short.
The Vibes is what it’s about at this location. I’m all for it.
Just watched your newer video on the Linq. Very nice tours and reviews, I’ll be staying there soon so I enjoyed your opinion on it 💰🍀🍻
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
As Caesars Diamond I don't pay resort fees, and I make 2-3 midweek solo stays per year. I stayed at LinQ once, but I care only about the room and the price. Flamingo is always my first choice if the room rate is OK. At LinQ, I didn't use the pool or eat at any of the restaurants, so it was more than OK. My room was at the end furthest from the Strip, so noise from the pool was minimal.
Tell it like it is!!! Good video
I used to stay at LINQ when it was Imperial Palace. ;-) ;-) ;-) Excellent++ solo video...
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Amazing location, stayed there at least 8 times. Room is always clean and housekeeping are always great. Will be staying there in a few months. I can't sleep in large rooms, so venetian and Ceasars were horrible for me to sleep in. Plus great food options.
Thanks for the review. You can’t beat the price and location. The vibe is obvious that this is a value and young people place. For someone like me who spent most of my awake time outside of the hotel, this is great value. Not to mention the alley next door with all that food options. We have had a lot worse hotels at South Lake Tahoe for ski trips for prices way higher than this. The AC is ok, again, compared to most business hotels. The first night we had a room where a piercing metal cutting noise lasted the entire night, we were moved to a different room, much better. That was room 19066, be aware. Customer service was fine, maybe because we didn’t get into any busy traffic. Overall, I wouldn’t avoid Linq, it is what we paid for.
Another Fantastic Video!! Great Job!!! 💯💯💯
Thanks again!
I miss the Imperial Palace in the '80s and '90s 😢 every time I go there now I get so confused. I get so turned around. And when we used to go to the pool there was like one or two people there😂 I'll take it over this crap now...
Clicked on your pic, super cool! 😄 Anyways, saw your comment on Caesars in the 80s and 90s. One day maybe i can stay at Caesars. Just from visiting I was really blown away by the theme! It does feel like going back in time despite all the modern features around you at the public places at Caesars. Wish i could hear more tales from people who have stayed there in days gone by.
I booked the Linq for Labor Day week. I hope my room is ready upon arrival after a long flight I don’t wanna wait an hour for a room. Other than that, I’m good with the rooms since you stated they were clean. Only there for 4 nights so I think I’ll be okay. Thanks for the video. p.S. I will be getting Gordon Ramsey fish and chips as my first Las Vegas meal.
I stayed already twice in the Linq... Will return in Sep and we booked a Suite - for free for 7 nights based on my Ceasars status (Platinum) - not a bad deal... The crowd is crazy but funny... The pool is small but with decent vibes...the Casino is pretty mediocre but the location center strip and the Promenade are great... Looking forward, 4 weeks to go
Love the "placebo oxygen" comment! I'll take MGM properties over Caesar's every time. Thanks for the video - great job!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
It's a solid budget option in a perfect location. Having the promenade and Flamingos steak house next door is enough food options
That footage of them demo-ing the sportsbook was awesome. I stumbled across some old 'Aladdin' arches over in the depths of planet Hollywood.
It’s fascinating that the IP sportsbook was still operating looking like that as recently as 2014. Truly a time capsule. Thanks for watching!
@ShowMeVegas It really is, Vegas history is so intriguing even if there is only 100 or so years of it. Really enjoy your guys' stuff, thanks!
You're right about customer service at Caesars properties. I'm diamond plus and we were there 3 weeks ago in a suite as usual. But... Over the course of 5 days we got locked out of the room nine times and had to walk all the way down to the diamond check-in. We were in the mountain Tower 😮 they did absolutely nothing. It was outrageous. I've been going there over 30 years. My host could still not give me an answer. What happened?
I stayed there a year ago. Won't stay there again! Just like you said... Customer Service sucks! I almost had a bad accident in the room when the wall hanging fell off. When we called to report it the person at the desk couldn't understand what we were trying to tell them they thought something had fallen from the ceiling and they sent maintenance up. Maintenance took the wall hanging with them but left the mess behind because the whole frame fell apart. Probably won't ever stay there again unless we really need to go for a cheap room. This place definitely goes by the motto of you get what you pay for.
I only have 1 requirement = a clean room. Last time I was there it was still The Imperial. Although the room review and price is OK, the long line-ups scares me.
I don’t think the Linq is BAD, I just think it’s for a younger crowd, they aren’t as discerning and enjoying youthful independence. I remember being that age, and that’s why I know it’s not for me. Maybe be younger if you go there, and don’t take your 92 year old grandmother, as one unhappy family on TripAdvisor did 😂
TripAdvisor is some good entertainment.
@@MH_6160 I know right? I read it on the plane and try not to laugh.
Less "discerning" is a nice, gentle way to put it! Might have to use that phrasing in a future video! Thanks as always for watching!
Oof , the customer service seems tedious. We stayed at Caesars palace last time and it was great! Spent a good amount of time at the Linq and the alley walk next to it. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Great video
We’ve booked New York New York for our stay next May. Was tempted to change it to the Linq as it’s quite a bit cheaper but watching this don’t think it’s worth it 😅
Excalibur is in the same price range as the Linq, but much better as it's an MGM property. Check it out - next door - when you are staying at New York, New York. I'm confident you'll be glad you did!
As usual, great video. That line to check in would have made my head explode! I stayed at Linq twice, both times when I needed to be on a tight budget. I get a kick out of the place and location is great for the price. Yes, the AC is loud, the room is small and the hallways are weed central. But the room is fine for what it is. One place to eat in the Linq Promenade that I like is Yard House.
That’s par for the course when it comes to checking into a Caesars property. Thanks for watching!
Stayed there last Summer & had a decent stay. No big issues & the mini fridge is a plus.
Love the Promenade, the casino is eh. I would probably not stay at the Linq however, not my scene, not into the party atmosphere plus I agree Caesars customer service doesn't hold a candle to other properties in Vegas. I would prefer staying at MGM properties minus Excaliber.
Great video. We were there first week of July and had a very similar experience. Normally we use the app to check in but that wasn't an option. Had to stand in line and wait and it still wasn't ready until 5 I think. We enjoy the Linq because it's clean, fun, has great energy, short walk from elevators to the strip, and the promenade. The pool is not our thing, I have lost every dollar I've gambled at the Linq, and it can be noisy so earplugs are a must
Pretty accurate description! Thanks for watching!
I stayed there one night because we filmed a Vegas wedding. I hit on 3 out of 4 slot machines. That's gambling for ya.
@@MHollywood5 ain't that the truth
Stayed at the Linq for a few nights last year because we got a rate of $18 per night (plus the usual hidden fees) and our main hotel Mirage (was unavailable for a couple of nights). It's probably the worst Vegas hotel I've stayed in because the bar is high but if you want a cheap hotel with a great location then it's good. The pool was pretty busy with a DJ which we liked however there weren't really any busy bars inside - these were on the Linq Boulevard just outside. The rooms were very basic but fine for a couple of nights and great value. Worst part was the check in which was an awful experience and the lack of cleaning service (who didn't come until we complained multiple times).
We also had similar issues with the air conditioning noise!
Linq is a pretty decent hotel. I was just there for five nights and it was like 200 bucks and I can't complain about a damn thing it was cool would definitely recommend
I booked a room for My kid and a friend and i went up to room to check it out since i was the one who had to check in . The hallway was all gray like a prison and smelt disgusting. We went into room and carets were very moist steam n the mirrors and just it sucks feeling throughout. I told my kid We would go downstairs and get another room .Once downstairs they gave me anoter room,my kid said it was better so i left.I hated the whole situation . My kid even said never again soi am just saying
I refuse to stay at Caesar’s property’s, you nailed it why, gotta pay to check in early or late check out and the property’s are pretty bad in my opinion
That check in process, no lie, would be a trip killer for me. I’m not being negative but honest in saying I will not stay at a Caesers hotel. I will not waste a trip to Vegas on that.
Caesars has mini fridges in most rooms. That's their only advantage. Buying cases of water saves $$$. Other than that MGM wins I think
MGM hotels charge for early/late check in/out too
@@WoodsToLiveBy I don’t mind early/late fees. They really aren’t that bad, and you’re paying for the convenience. What irritates me is spending 1/2 a day of it checking in and still not getting the room I paid for. Goodbye, Caesers and ciao.
@WoodsToLiveBy - MGM VERY frequently gets guest into a room early with no fee at all. When I left The Linq I checked into NYNY at 12:30 pm and my room was ready, no charge. That happens all the time.
Went to Guy Fieri’s restaurant. Got the wrong burger, which was okay, free of charge. Good vibes in that joint!
I don't mind a bit of wear as long as the room is clean and the AC works. The mini-fridge is a plus for sure and I don't mind noise from AC units, I crank green noise at night at home so no big deal.
There is not a mini fridge in the average rooms. There is at Horseshoe, Rio and Planet Hollywood.
Paris has a fridge as well.
Ya their air conditioners are noisy which kind of bugs me. But its cheap, and has cheap tables and O'Sheas is fun so not a bad place and Promenade is always a plus.
Never stayed there and probably never will. Loved playing there years back when it was IP.
My wife and I have had a couple stays at the Linq. Both good. The only major con for me is the elevator situation. It's one busy mess to get on and where you need to go. Otherwise good budget property.
Which room wasn’t available and that you’d have to wait an hour? Just curious thanks 😀
Great video as usual! Even though I'm 66 years young I will give this property a try on my next trip based on your recommendation! I like the price point and the "young" vib doesn't bother me in the least. The customer service can't be any worse than the service at the airport these days so I will simply have that as my expectation. Thank you for your professional videos and all the hard work that goes into your quality productions!
I don’t mind young vibe and at 51, I really don’t look my age. I get the feeling the young vibe here is like a dorm on animal house. I don’t think it’s meant to exclude us, but I would really feel out of place.
Good luck! Hopefully this experience wasn't an anomaly, the place doesn't have the best reputation!
@@bethanyarnp8852 Yes I agree. If there are water balloon fighters in the halfway or other really juvenile behaviors then I will leave those activities to the young and un-learned among us. However, simply the presence of younger people won't bother me. There are dozens of other places to go in Vegas if I want to hangout with a more mature crowd!
@@davidbox146 haha my husband is like that too! He’s like “watch them try to keep us older partiers out!” I’m like “no-ones trying to keep us out, you’re just too old to appreciate living in a hostel”
@@bethanyarnp8852 I hardly think the Linq is similar to a hostel! The property has individual rooms versus a "group dorm" style arrangement. Your husband has the right idea!
The Linq is the Motel 6 of Ceasars. It’s super cheap but since they cater to the younger EDC crowd they know their target demographic.
Actually, the Rio has been the Motel 6 of Caesars for the past decade. That's about over, though. Thanks for watching!
Last Year as a Diamond Plus. I’ve given up on Caesar’s properties including Caesars Palace. Not worth your sanity.
Indeed. They don't appear to care about the guest at all. Thanks for watching!
When will they learn the kiosk check in just doesn’t work. Yeah, the room’s under $30, but even at that, customers won’t suffer that process forever.
Imp palace was my 1st visit to Vegas in early 2000s I was so nieve in Vegas back then but bein a Vegas virgin my adrenaline was sky high. Said it before to u Jordan but Caesars are chalk n cheese with MGM properties luxor or even Excalibur are way ahead of harrahs flam ph link I'm coming over in sept I prob won't even go into them properties but ta for this vlog link actually looked clean
That hotel used to be the Imperial Palace one of the smokiest casinos I've ever set foot in. It's a great location tho. with all the foot traffic.
I think many people from the St Louis area just want to hop on a plane for a cheap couple days in Vegas occasionally. It’s not a dream vacation. Caesars provides this.
I stayed at the linq on my first vegas trip. Had a pool view room so it was LOUD during the day. If you only use your room to sleep it's fine. I paid up for the king suite which is identical to your room other than only 1 bed. I wish it had a bathtub though.
I stayed at mandalay bay my second trip and was able to check in just after noon with no fee. If that hotel was center strip it would be more than double the price per night and worth it.
My most recent trip I stayed at horseshoe 2 weeks ago. It is a much better value than the linq IMO, especially if they are almost the same price. It's connected to Paris with higher end dining and in a slightly better location than the linq. Also the home to the WSOP. I saw legends of the game playing for millions from literally 10 feet away.
I might stay one fewer night and pay for an MGM property for my next trip but caesars is throwing deals at me for less than half the price of MGM's midrange hotels like NYNY. That's what would keep me coming back.
Agreed on pretty much all points. There'll be a Horseshoe video coming out of that most recent trip as well. Thanks for watching!
Nice blog pal. I found the rooms very small but you get what ya pay for. Any chance of doing the Polo Towers in future, just to get you guys opinion. I think it's brilliant
I highly doubt we'll do Polo Towers any time soon, we tend to stick to the gaming properties as that's what people are usually searching for. Thanks for watching!
Linq definitely has its niche. O'sheas is my favorite thing about it. Great atmosphere and the frozen Baileys are 10/10!
Yep. Linq stays in its lane and it does a pretty good job at it. Thanks as always for watching!
Stayed at this hotel when it was the Imperial Palace. Wasn't bad then. Las Vegas Blvd has gotten very large and crowded. Minimum Bets on Las Vegas Blvd have gotten pricey. Don't want to wait on long lines. Off strip hotels seem more appealing to me.
It was awesome to run into you and meet you at Park MGM. Keep up the great work! - Aaron & Katie
Absolutely, thanks for introducing yourselves!
I like the linq , location is hard to beat . I agree 100% with Caesar’s customer service being poor at best and thus the reason for my upcoming trips I have switched to mgm resorts and look forward to the change .
We greatly prefer MGM, no doubt, but we've got to cover them all to keep the channel balanced! Thanks as always for watching!
I've just made it to Diamond tier again for next year (been Diamond since 2017), but not sure if I'll renew, so to speak, after 2024, or focus my time and resources elsewhere, like MGM or Palms. I only stay at PH or Paris anyway, but Caesars resorts do have an enormous amount of video poker, so I might miss out on that.
Enjoy your videos! Can you use your Caesars card at O'Sheas?
Yes, O'Sheas is technically part of The Linq Casino. Thanks for watching!
As low as $20 a night, that is cheap. 🤔
I still wouldn't stay there 😁
Absolutely fair. Thanks as always for watching!
Love your videos! Just a small correction; Horseshoe and Harrah's are definitely on average much cheaper than The Linq. At least from what I have observed the last few years.
Horseshoe is neck and neck with Linq but Harrah’s is - on average - considerably more expensive. Thanks for watching!
For those watching Horseshoe is generally less expensive and Harrahs is not considerably more expensive and if not generally the same as linq might average slightly lower. The reviewer is wrong.
@@timothyburke6949 that’s easy to say AFTER the fact. My answer was based on my stay. At the time I last stayed at Harrah’s (February 2023) nearly every date on the calendar was more expensive there than at either Linq or Horseshoe.
Looking at the rate calendar right now, all three properties fluctuate considerably but they are roughly the same cost if you average it out. For the upcoming month of September, Horsehoe and Linq are - exactly as I said - neck and neck…
My wife and I don't give a shit unless there is bug beds.
the more i hear about caesers customer service the more im regretting my choice cause it seems more and more true that, thats a thing
Not my style… defiantly marketed to the younger crowd on a budget, but great video.
I feel Im too old or my tolerance level has fallen off for center strip now, ill stick with Vdara and Encore.
Post covid I cannot stand the BS that is going on now center strip…
I’m more of a north side girl anymore. I mean, it’s not bad to go see it once a trip, the fountains, conservatory, etc. But I’m never frustrated up north, and Wynn and Grazie have always treated me right. I got 30% off my upgraded suite at the palazzo and I got 20% off my dinner at SW steakhouse even though I only played that one day and not for long.
@@bethanyarnp8852 I feel you, you see the fountains, conservatory etc once… you have seen it a million times.
I am finally getting around to staying at RW, I have some Free night certs from Hilton… I really enjoy visiting that property, just never had interest to stay there. I tend to eat off strip more and the North end is easier to get around.
@@MH_6160 the only thing that really makes me hesitate on RW is that everytime I go, the place just seems so EMPTY. Maybe it’s the random times I’ve gone, or the fact that it’s so big. I think I need to give it a chance, I hope they develop the property around it. It used to be a pretty populated area of the strip in the day before they blew everything up.
@@bethanyarnp8852 We are going during SEMA in November, last year during that week when we had dinner it was ungodly busy, fully booked according to Hilton actually…. but if there isn't a convention it is rather dull. I am really looking forward to Fountaine Blue honestly.
The service at Guy Fieri’s at Linq is awful, and the food is so so. Better options for eating on the promenade for sure. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Can you do the Casino Royale please
Unfortunately that’s probably not going to make the list. The property is too small and could be closed in the next couple of years anyway. Thanks for watching!
The location is everything. It’s not my place to stay. I’m not a party 🎉 lady anymore..
I feel you, maybe if I was 21 and never been to Vegas this would be the spot.
Even at Caesars Palace which is definitely more upscale, I had the worst check-in since I have been coming to Vegas which is about 35 years. Actually the worst check in in my life at any hotel.... They used to be the best! What happened????
Caesars has been drowning in debt for some time and this is part of their genius plan to cut costs. Who cares about the customer, right? Thanks for watching!
Great vid, I gotta admit, I am done with Caesar's properties. The customer service is non existent. They do not give a %*it about their customers. They never have the room you ordered, they try and downgrade you, make you wait in lines, they simply do not care. PH isn't any better. I'm not sure it's even worth $73, I'd pay that to not have to deal with their horrific "check-in" process. Thanks guys for keeping things real. Keep it up.
Our preference would be to avoid Caesars altogether but the channel needs balance, so we cover them as well. We greatly prefer MGM properties, without a doubt. Thanks for watching!
@@ShowMeVegas I actually lodged a complaint over something we saw at the horseshoe and it still sticks with me when this subject comes up. I saw a mom and two sleeping kids crouched in a corner by the cabinets with a line stretched around 2 turnstiles. I asked them how they can treat human beings this way. These transactions are sometimes thousands of dollars, and call for a person to greet you. I just feel bad for uninformed travelers who pay money and get excited about their trip to just walk into all of that.
I'll add that we are currently staying at Vdara and have been gambling exclusively at mgm props this trip for points. This is an insanely clean property and the corner fountain view room was one of the best views! Everyone is polite and the service is on point. We walked in the hotel and I received a text that the room was ready. The phone app key doesn't work in the elevators but we just went to the concierge to get a physical key instead of waiting in the check in line filled with people getting in. get the diversity needed for the channel, thanks for the great reviews.
What do you think the chances are your account was flagged after the Harrah’s video and they were stalling you until they could get you into their best and cleanest room at the Linq? Just found it odd you used the kiosk and then were directed to an ambassador. I mean, at least they are making some effort at PR if that’s what happened.
Nah. If they did that on purpose they definitely wouldn’t have directed me to a person that then steered me wrong. She told me the room was ready but I couldn’t have it yet unless I paid the early check in fee and to come back and get back in the kiosk line at 3:30. At 3:30 the kiosk assigned me the wrong room type. Then they told me over the phone to come back and wait in line AGAIN to speak to somebody in person. Then they STILL weren’t able to give me the room I booked because those rooms weren’t going to be clean until almost 7:00 pm. If they had me flagged in their system and they STILL screwed everything up that badly, they’re even more incompetent than I’m already giving them credit for.
@@ShowMeVegas yeah. Guess I must have glossed over that watching it. I keep wanting to believe they’ll pull their head out and do something that makes sense for their reputation for once, but it sure doesn’t look like it. When even Caesars Palace can’t get you checked in right, you know the hope is dimming. The bankruptcy must really be tearing them a new one, or top management has completely taken their eye off the prize, or both. The potential is being wasted, that’s for sure.
linq is in a conglomerate. The conglomerate that sucks is a dude that feared "The Ides of March)😂
That pool is an embarrassment. For a hotel with 2200 rooms to have a pool that small is a crime against humanity. It looks like it could comfortably handle about 20 guests. They should be put in jail for charging a "resort" fee.
Absolutely agree, it is way too small for a large resort in a desert climate. Thanks for watching!
Party hotel = bad fluids in room🎉
It’s Vegas, there are “bad fluids” in every hotel room! Thanks for watching!
Worst hotel room i've ever booked in vegas in april 2023 . But it's my personal experience...
It’s not hard to imagine the Linq has some bad rooms. Thanks for watching!
I stayed there before I hooked with a real nice black girl there we had a really good time I met her at the pool it was a lot of fun
Then you woke up, right?
@@effahston6429 what happens in Vegas stays in vegas
As far as shows, I think you forgot Piff the Magic Dragon
No, that’s at Flamingo…
@@ShowMeVegas I stand corrected, sorry
I cannot say this enough do not book the Linq. This place was absolutely terrible and I regretted booking this as soon as I got here.
I didn’t have a problem with it. It depends on what you want 🤷🏾♂️ I came to Vegas to have a good time so I needed was a bed. Maybe you wanted more luxury or something
What makes it terrible? I’m thinking of booking here for a sphere show next month.
You didnt get the room that you wanted, because you booked on short notice
Huh? I booked more than a month in advance…
@@ShowMeVegas
Obviously The Linq staff is aware of your videos!
Politeness goes a long way !
@@KevinShaughnessy-lf3vs on the contrary, if they had known I was making CZcams videos they wouldn’t have allowed me to be checked into the wrong room type and then given me the run-around for almost an hour. I’m quite positive they don’t make any effort to identify CZcamsrs or social media influencers, and I’m glad they don’t because I want to see what a place is actually like…
Could someone who's say 5'7" sleep on that L shaped couch?
The correct answer is hell no!

I played blackjack for 20 min and got plenty of comped gray goose shots.
We stayed at the Linq about a year ago in a standard room. It wasnt the greatest room but for the price and great location its well worth it. Especially for first timers and the younger crowd.
Definitely has it's niche. Thanks for watching!
