The LINQ is a renovated Imperial. If you want luxury with marble floors, grand entrances, lobbies and places to relax, this is not for you.
If you want nice rooms with no views, cheap pricing, central location, with not much hotel amenities, you will be happy.
The hotel has no lobby, instead it's just some iPads to check in, the casino, and your rooms.
The business model is definitely cheap rooms to get you in, and then opportunities everywhere to spend your savings back. The food and drink is Vegas pricing and then some, Starbucks for example is $17 for a coffee and egg sandwich.
There is no wasted spaced anywhere, there are bars, quick serve food, restaurants and retail. The pool closed at 6pm, gotta get you back inside to buy stuff I guess.
Had no issues with the staff, they even combined our reservations so we didn't have to move rooms.
Overall it's a great value to be on the strip with so many options nearby. For peak seasons, when everyone else is charging $1000s, this will be a good alternative.
