There didn't seem to be a lot of availability for spa treatments or poolside cabanas during my stay. In hindsight, I wish that I'd taken Ivy up on those offers before I got to Vegas because I found it a bit difficult to book some of these add-ons once I was in the hotel. You can also make reservations for restaurants and spa treatments, or even purchase tickets to shows at other hotels around Vegas via Ivy. One of the coolest things about my stay at The Linq was Ivy, a virtual concierge service that's available at several Caesars Entertainment properties, including The Linq.Ī few days after I booked my room, I received a text from Ivy explaining the virtual services and offering extras like room upgrades and special packages that I could have waiting in my room when I checked in. LYNN BROWN/THE POINTS GUY Breaking free of the suite If so, what would the experience of staying here really be like? Though a bit of research online seemed to show mostly good reviews of the property and no glaring omissions in terms of amenities, I still wondered if the deal seemed too good to be true as I arrived for my stay.

I couldn't help but wonder if important things like customer care and amenities, such as room service, were being left out to bring the overall cost down. I must admit that the dramatic cost difference made me a little wary.

My nearly 700-square-foot suite at The Linq starts at just $77 per night, less than the starting prices of a standard room at Caesars. All of these prices, including The Linq, vary greatly depending on the day and time of year, but even so, prices at The Linq remain notably lower than most of its neighbors. Similarly, a room at the Flamingo Hotel will start at $33 per night, while the Mirage offers rooms for $59 and up a night. Unlike these adjacent properties, though, the price point at The Linq is much more reasonable.Īverage room rates at The Linq start at $33 per night, whereas a similar room at Caesars Palace costs at least $85 a night.

The nearest neighbors are the Flamingo Hotel on one side and Harrah's Las Vegas on the other, with the grand Ceasars Palace and the Mirage just across the street. The Linq has a great location directly on Las Vegas Boulevard close to Flamingo Road, so it's central to most of the action on the Strip. CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT The price was right, but what about the experience?
