The LINQ Las Vegas Layout: A Small Casino and a Quarter-Mile Promenade

Quick summary: The LINQ is two things back to back, and that is the whole trick to navigating it. At the Strip (west) end sit a compact hotel lobby and a small casino floor — about 33,890 sq ft, tiny for the Strip — that blends straight into O'Sheas Casino. Running east from there is the LINQ Promenade: a quarter-mile open-air corridor of shops, bars, and restaurants ending at the High Roller observation wheel. Almost everything you came for — the High Roller, FLY LINQ, the dining and nightlife — is outside on the Promenade, not on the casino floor. Orient on one west–east line: Strip, hotel, and casino at the west end; High Roller and the monorail station at the east end.

That is the opposite of how most Strip megaresorts work. At Caesars Palace or the Flamingo next door, the property is the casino floor and you navigate the interior. At The LINQ the indoor footprint is deliberately compact, and the scale is all outdoors on the Promenade. So if you booked “The LINQ” picturing a sprawling casino, that mismatch — not a confusing floor plan — is what throws people.

Once you think of it as “a small casino up front, a quarter-mile of Promenade out back,” The LINQ is one of the simplest properties on the Strip to get around. There is essentially one axis to remember, and the High Roller at the east end is a landmark you can see from almost anywhere on the corridor.

The LINQ Layout: A Compact Casino and a Quarter-Mile Promenade

The LINQ fronts Las Vegas Boulevard on the east side of the Strip, between Flamingo to the south and Harrah's to the north. From the Strip you step into a small casino floor and the hotel lobby; from there the property stretches east, away from the Boulevard, as the open-air Promenade. Treat it as a single west–east line with two ends:

The two ends, and how you know which one you're on

West end (the Strip side). The hotel lobby and check-in, the compact casino floor, and the attached O'Sheas Casino. If you can see Las Vegas Boulevard, the front desk, or slot machines, you're at the west end. This is where you stay and where you gamble.

East end (the High Roller side). The back of the LINQ Promenade, where the 550-foot High Roller wheel anchors the corridor and the FLY LINQ zipline launches. The Harrah's & The LINQ monorail station is also at this rear edge. If you can see the wheel, you're at the east end — and the casino and hotel are a walk back west toward the Strip.

The casino is small. The Promenade is a quarter mile. Know which way to walk.

Finding What You Need

The casino floor and hotel check-in

Both are at the west (Strip) end of the property. The hotel lobby and registration sit beside the casino floor near Las Vegas Boulevard, so if you arrive from the back — off the Promenade or the monorail — walk west toward the Strip to check in. The casino itself is small at about 33,890 square feet, which is part of the charm and part of the confusion: it is easy to cross the whole gaming floor in a minute or two and find yourself out on the Promenade or inside O'Sheas without a clear dividing line.

O'Sheas Casino

O'Sheas is a separate, Irish-pub-themed casino that is physically attached to the LINQ's main casino floor and opens onto the Promenade. There is no real wall between them, so guests routinely wander from one into the other without realizing they have changed casinos — O'Sheas is best known for its beer pong and a party-bar atmosphere. For navigation, just treat the LINQ casino and O'Sheas as one continuous gaming area at the Strip end of the Promenade.

The Promenade: dining, bars, and entertainment

This is where The LINQ keeps almost everything worth walking to. The open-air corridor runs about 1,200 feet east from the Strip and is lined with restaurants and bars — In-N-Out Burger, a row of patios — plus Brooklyn Bowl, a large music venue, restaurant, and bowling alley. Because the Promenade is outdoor and linear, finding a specific venue is a matter of how far east it sits between the Strip and the High Roller, not which floor or wing it's on. In peak summer heat, remember the whole corridor is open-air with limited shade.

The High Roller and FLY LINQ

The High Roller observation wheel anchors the east end of the Promenade. At 550 feet it is the tallest observation wheel in North America, with 28 enclosed cabins that hold up to 40 people each; a full rotation takes about 30 minutes, and some cabins offer an open bar. To reach it from the casino, head out onto the Promenade and walk east the full length of the corridor — about 5 to 10 minutes. FLY LINQ, a zipline with ten side-by-side lines, launches from a tower near the wheel and runs west above the Promenade.

Restrooms

Indoor restrooms cluster around the casino floor and the hotel lobby at the west end. Along the Promenade itself, restrooms are tied to the individual restaurants, bars, and the High Roller boarding area rather than to the open corridor — so if you're midway down the Promenade and need one, the casino at the Strip end and the High Roller building at the east end are the two reliable anchors.

Getting Around: Entrances, Parking, and the Monorail

Strip-side entrance

The main pedestrian entrance faces Las Vegas Boulevard at the west end, leading into the casino floor, the hotel lobby, and the mouth of the Promenade. This is the most direct way to the gaming floor and check-in, and it's also where the Promenade begins — step through and the open-air corridor runs east in front of you toward the High Roller.

Self-parking and valet

Self-parking is in a multi-level garage at the rear (east side) of the property. Access is from the back, not the Strip: head east on Flamingo Road and turn onto LINQ Lane — the same access road that serves the Flamingo garage next door. Valet is offered on the LINQ Promenade / High Roller side rather than at a Strip-front porte cochere. Both are paid, with Caesars Rewards rates typically below the public day rate; parking fees change periodically, so confirm current rates at the gate, in the Caesars Rewards app, or at caesars.com. From the garage you enter through the back of the property and walk toward the casino and Promenade.

Rideshare

Uber and Lyft use a designated rideshare pickup point rather than the Strip-side pedestrian entrance — follow Rideshare signs from the casino floor. As across Caesars properties, the exact pickup spot can shift on busy nights, so confirm the location in your app or with a bell-desk attendant before you head out.

The monorail

The Harrah's & The LINQ station on the Las Vegas Monorail sits at the rear (east) of the property, shared with Harrah's next door. It's a useful arrival point if you're coming from the Convention Center or the MGM Grand end of the line — but note that the station is at the back, so from the monorail you walk west through the property and Promenade to reach the casino, the hotel lobby, and the Strip. Budget a few extra minutes for that walk versus a Strip-side arrival.

Common Navigation Mistakes

Expecting a big casino floor. The LINQ's casino is small (~33,890 sq ft) by design. If it feels like there's “not much casino,” that's correct — the property's scale is the outdoor Promenade, not the gaming floor.

Not realizing you've walked into O'Sheas. O'Sheas attaches to the LINQ casino with no clear divider. It's not a wrong turn — just know the two run together as one gaming area at the Strip end.

Arriving by monorail and looking for the Strip. The Harrah's & The LINQ station is at the rear (east). The Strip, casino, and hotel lobby are a full ~1,200-foot Promenade walk west — head toward Las Vegas Boulevard, not deeper into the property.

Trying to self-park from the Strip. The garage is at the rear via Flamingo Road and LINQ Lane, not off Las Vegas Boulevard. Pulling up to the Strip frontage to self-park sends you around to the back.

Connections to Other Casinos

To Flamingo (south, open-air via the Promenade)

The LINQ's closest connection is the Flamingo, directly south. The two share the LINQ Promenade along their property line, so you walk between them through the open-air corridor — about 5 to 10 minutes between casino floors, outdoors the whole way (there's no indoor walkway). Both are Caesars Entertainment resorts, making it a simple within-cluster hop. Step-by-step directions in both directions are in our Flamingo to The LINQ guide.

To Harrah's (north, street-level adjacency)

Harrah's Las Vegas is immediately north of The LINQ, and the two share the Harrah's & The LINQ monorail station at the rear. There's no enclosed indoor walkway between the casino floors, though — you cross at street level. It's a short outdoor hop, and like The LINQ, Harrah's is a Caesars Entertainment property.

To Caesars Palace and the wider Caesars cluster

The LINQ, Flamingo, and Harrah's sit in a tight Caesars Entertainment cluster on the central Strip, with Caesars Palace across and down Las Vegas Boulevard to the southwest. For hops across the wider group and the rest of the Strip, see our guide to walking the Las Vegas Strip, and for the indoor-connection options elsewhere on the Strip, our guide to the hidden connections between Vegas casinos.

Wheelchair, scooter, and stroller access

The LINQ is one of the easier properties on the Strip for wheels: the casino floor is level and step-free, and the Promenade is flat, paved, and step-free end to end, so rolling from the casino out to the High Roller is straightforward. The main caveat is the open-air exposure rather than any physical barrier — in peak heat, the Promenade has limited shade. The High Roller boarding area is at ground level and wheelchair-accessible, and the Harrah's & The LINQ monorail station at the rear is step-free.

Navigation Tips

• Think west–east, not floors. Strip, casino, and hotel lobby are at the west end; the High Roller and monorail are at the east end. The Promenade is the line between them.
• The experience is outside. The casino is small and indoors; the High Roller, FLY LINQ, dining, and nightlife are out on the open-air Promenade.
• The casino and O'Sheas run together. There's no clear divider — treat them as one gaming area at the Strip end.
• Self-park at the rear via LINQ Lane. The garage is behind the property off Flamingo Road, not off the Strip; valet is on the Promenade side.
• For Flamingo, walk the Promenade south side. It's a 5 to 10 minute open-air hop — no indoor walkway.
• Off the monorail, walk west. The station is at the back; the Strip and casino are a full Promenade away toward Las Vegas Boulevard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the layout of The LINQ Las Vegas?

The LINQ is really two things back to back, and that is the whole key to navigating it. At the Las Vegas Boulevard (west) end sit the compact hotel lobby and a small casino floor — about 33,890 square feet, tiny by Strip standards — which blends straight into O'Sheas Casino. Running east from there is the LINQ Promenade: a quarter-mile (~1,200-foot) open-air corridor of shops, bars, and restaurants that ends at the High Roller observation wheel. Almost everything people come to The LINQ for — the High Roller, FLY LINQ zipline, the dining and nightlife — is outside on the Promenade, not on the casino floor. Orient yourself on a single west–east line: the Strip, hotel, and casino are at the west end; the High Roller and the Harrah's & The LINQ monorail station are at the east end.

Why is the casino at The LINQ so small?

Because The LINQ was built around its open-air Promenade rather than around a big gaming floor. The casino is only about 33,890 square feet — compact for a Strip resort — and it bleeds seamlessly into the attached O'Sheas Casino, so the gaming area can feel even smaller and more maze-like than it is. The property's scale is outside: the ~1,200-foot LINQ Promenade and the 550-foot High Roller are the real draw. If you booked The LINQ expecting a sprawling casino like Caesars Palace or the Flamingo next door, that mismatch is the most common source of confusion — the experience here is the Promenade, not the casino floor.

Where is the LINQ casino floor?

On the Las Vegas Boulevard (west) end of the property, at ground level between the Strip frontage and the Promenade, next to the hotel lobby. It is small — about 33,890 square feet — and O'Sheas Casino is physically attached to it, so the boundary between the two is seamless and easy to cross without noticing. If you arrive from the east (off the Promenade or the Harrah's & The LINQ monorail station), walk west along the Promenade toward the Strip and the casino and hotel lobby are at that end.

What is the LINQ Promenade?

The LINQ Promenade is an open-air shopping, dining, and entertainment district that runs about 1,200 feet (a quarter mile) east from Las Vegas Boulevard, between Flamingo on the south and the LINQ hotel on the north. It opened in 2013–2014 and is anchored at its east end by the High Roller, the 550-foot observation wheel. Along the corridor are FLY LINQ (a ten-line zipline over the walkway, opened 2018), Brooklyn Bowl, In-N-Out Burger, a row of bars and restaurants, and O'Sheas Casino, which attaches to the LINQ's main casino floor. Because the Promenade doubles as the pedestrian route between Flamingo and The LINQ, it is also how you walk between those two casinos.

How do you get to the High Roller from The LINQ?

Walk east. The High Roller sits at the back (east) end of the LINQ Promenade, so from the LINQ casino floor or hotel lobby you head out onto the Promenade and walk away from Las Vegas Boulevard, the full ~1,200-foot length of the corridor — the wheel is straight ahead at the end. Plan about 5 to 10 minutes depending on how many shops slow you down. The High Roller is 550 feet tall, the tallest observation wheel in North America, with 28 cabins that hold up to 40 people each; a full rotation takes about 30 minutes. FLY LINQ, a zipline with ten side-by-side lines, runs above the Promenade on the way.

Is The LINQ connected to Flamingo and Harrah's?

The LINQ sits between Flamingo (directly south) and Harrah's (directly north) on the east side of the Strip, and all three are Caesars Entertainment properties, but neither connection is an enclosed indoor walkway. The link to Flamingo is the open-air LINQ Promenade — about a 5 to 10 minute outdoor walk between casino floors (see our Flamingo to The LINQ guide). Harrah's is immediately north and the two share the Harrah's & The LINQ monorail station at the rear, but you cross between them at street level rather than through a climate-controlled corridor. So plan on being outdoors for the short hop to either neighbor.

Does The LINQ have self-parking and valet?

Yes. Self-parking is in a multi-level garage at the rear (east side) of the property, reached from the back rather than the Strip: head east on Flamingo Road and turn onto LINQ Lane — the same access road that serves Flamingo's garage next door. Valet is offered at the LINQ Promenade / High Roller side rather than at a Strip-front porte cochere. Both are paid, with Caesars Rewards rates typically below the public day rate, and parking fees change periodically — confirm current rates at the gate, in the Caesars Rewards app, or at caesars.com. From the garage you enter through the back of the property and walk toward the casino and Promenade.

Where is The LINQ Las Vegas located?

The LINQ Hotel & Casino is at 3535 South Las Vegas Boulevard, on the east side of the Strip in Paradise, Nevada, between Flamingo to the south and Harrah's to the north. It opened in its current form on October 30, 2014 and is operated by Caesars Entertainment; the hotel was previously the Imperial Palace and, briefly, The Quad. Caesars Palace is across and down the Strip to the southwest. The Harrah's & The LINQ Las Vegas Monorail station is at the rear (east) of the property, connecting to the wider Las Vegas Monorail.

Walk Straight to the High Roller

Knowing The LINQ is a small casino up front and a quarter-mile Promenade out back helps. Seeing it on a map — with the casino floor, where O'Sheas begins, the hotel lobby, the path east to the High Roller, and the rear monorail station all marked — is faster. Casino Compass gives you turn-by-turn directions inside The LINQ and 20+ other Las Vegas properties, with maps available offline so casino Wi-Fi can't slow you down.
