Flamingo to The LINQ: The Open-Air Promenade Route to the High Roller
Quick Answer
Distance
~0.2 mi to LINQ casino; Promenade is 1,200 ft
Walking Time
5–10 min (10–15 min to the High Roller)
Indoor Connection?
No — the LINQ Promenade is open-air
Reverse Direction
Same Promenade, same time
This is one of the few casino-to-casino connections on the Strip where the route itself is the destination. Flamingo and The LINQ sit right next to each other on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard, and the path between them is the LINQ Promenade — an open-air corridor of shops, bars, and restaurants running 1,200 feet back to the High Roller observation wheel. So “Flamingo to The LINQ” isn't a hallway you rush through; it's a walk past Brooklyn Bowl, In-N-Out, the FLY LINQ zipline, and a wall of patios.
The one thing to know up front: there is no indoor walkway here. Most of our favorite Strip connections are climate-controlled; this one isn't. The walk is short — 5 to 10 minutes from the Flamingo casino floor to the LINQ casino floor — but it's all outdoors. In July that's a few minutes of real heat; the rest of the year it's one of the most pleasant strolls on the Strip. Both resorts are Caesars Entertainment properties, so this is a simple within-cluster hop.

The Route (Through the LINQ Promenade)
There's really only one route, and it's the LINQ Promenade. The only decision is whether you're stopping at the LINQ casino near the Strip or continuing back to the High Roller at the far end.
Starting from Flamingo:
- From the Flamingo casino floor, head to the north side of the property. Flamingo is large and sprawling, so follow signs for “The LINQ,” “LINQ Promenade,” or “High Roller” rather than trying to eyeball the exit.
- Exit onto the LINQ Promenade. You'll step out of the air conditioning into the open-air corridor that runs along Flamingo's northern edge.
- The LINQ hotel and casino are on the north side of the Promenade, near the Strip end. For the casino floor, you're only a minute or two into the Promenade — look for the LINQ entrance on your left (north).
- For the High Roller, keep walking east, away from Las Vegas Boulevard, the full length of the Promenade. The wheel is straight ahead at the back.
- O'Sheas Casino, on the Promenade itself, is attached to the LINQ's main casino floor — a useful landmark that tells you you've reached the LINQ side.
Total time: 5–10 minutes to the LINQ casino floor; 10–15 minutes to the High Roller. Subtract a couple of minutes if you start from Flamingo's north tower or north casino exit; add a few if you're coming from a far south room or you stop to look around (you will).
Reverse: The LINQ to Flamingo
Identical route, reversed. From the LINQ casino floor, step out onto the Promenade and walk toward Las Vegas Boulevard (west), then enter Flamingo on its north side. If you're coming down from the High Roller, you'll walk the full Promenade west to reach Flamingo. Same 5 to 10 minutes, same open-air corridor.
A short walk — through one of the busiest stretches on the Strip.

What's on the Promenade
Because the walk doubles as a tour of the LINQ Promenade, here's what you pass between the two casinos:
- The High Roller — the 550-foot observation wheel at the east end, the tallest in North America. A full rotation runs about 30 minutes; cabins are climate-controlled and some offer an open bar.
- FLY LINQ — a zipline with ten side-by-side lines that launches from a tower near the High Roller and runs west above the Promenade. Opened 2018.
- Brooklyn Bowl — a 78,000-square-foot music venue, restaurant, and 32-lane bowling alley on the Promenade.
- Food and bars — In-N-Out Burger, Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club, and a row of patios and bars line the corridor, which makes the walk slower than the distance suggests on a busy night.
When to Skip the Walk
In peak summer heat. The Promenade is open-air with limited shade. The walk is only a few minutes, but if you're heat-sensitive or traveling with kids in July, consider timing it for morning or evening rather than mid-afternoon.
If you're crossing the whole Caesars cluster. Flamingo and The LINQ are also linked to Harrah's and Caesars Palace through the same Caesars Entertainment network — the LINQ Promenade plus the Forum Sky Bridge connect the group. For longer hops across the cluster, see our guide to walking the Las Vegas Strip, and for the indoor options elsewhere on the Strip, our guide to the hidden connections between Vegas casinos.
Wheelchair, scooter, and stroller access
The LINQ Promenade is flat, paved, and step-free end to end, so wheelchair, scooter, and stroller access between Flamingo and The LINQ is straightforward — this is one of the easier connections on the Strip for wheels. The main caveat is the open-air exposure rather than any physical barrier. The High Roller boarding area is at ground level and wheelchair-accessible. The Harrah's/The LINQ monorail station at the rear is also step-free if you're connecting to the monorail.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get from Flamingo to The LINQ?
Walk through the LINQ Promenade. From the Flamingo casino floor, head to the north side of the property and exit toward the LINQ Promenade — the open-air shopping and dining corridor that runs along Flamingo's northern edge. The LINQ hotel and casino sit on the north side of the Promenade near the Strip, so reaching the LINQ casino floor takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on where you start inside Flamingo (it's a large property). There is no indoor walkway between the two — the Promenade is open-air the whole way. Both resorts are operated by Caesars Entertainment, so it's a simple within-cluster hop.
How long does it take to walk from Flamingo to The LINQ?
About 5 to 10 minutes from the Flamingo casino floor to the LINQ casino floor. The variation is almost entirely about where you start inside Flamingo, which is one of the larger properties on the central Strip — from a north-side room or the north casino exit it's closer to 5 minutes, and from a far south tower it can be 10. If you're continuing to the High Roller observation wheel at the back (east end) of the LINQ Promenade, add another 5 minutes for roughly 10 to 15 minutes total.
Is there an indoor walkway from Flamingo to The LINQ?
No. Unlike many Strip casino connections, the Flamingo–LINQ route is open-air the entire way. The LINQ Promenade is an outdoor pedestrian district — a 1,200-foot pathway lined with shops, restaurants, and bars that runs between Flamingo on the south and the LINQ hotel on the north. There's no climate-controlled corridor, so in July heat or winter wind you'll be exposed for the few minutes of the walk. The upside is that the Promenade is the attraction: the High Roller wheel, FLY LINQ zipline, Brooklyn Bowl, and a row of restaurants are all along the route.
How do you get from Flamingo to the High Roller?
The High Roller observation wheel sits at the east (back) end of the LINQ Promenade. From Flamingo, exit the north side into the LINQ Promenade and walk east, away from Las Vegas Boulevard, along the full 1,200-foot corridor — the wheel is straight ahead at the end. Plan about 10 to 15 minutes from the Flamingo casino floor depending on your starting point and how many shops slow you down. The 550-foot wheel is the tallest observation wheel in North America, and 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?
Yes — they're directly adjacent, and the LINQ Promenade was built on the land between them. The LINQ hotel sits immediately north of Flamingo on the east side of the Strip, and the open-air Promenade runs along the property line between the two, so you walk from one to the other through the Promenade rather than across any public street. O'Sheas Casino, on the Promenade itself, is attached to the LINQ's main casino floor. Both properties are Caesars Entertainment resorts, which is why the connection feels like one continuous district rather than two separate stops.
What is the LINQ Promenade?
The LINQ Promenade is an open-air shopping, dining, and entertainment district on the central Strip, running about 1,200 feet east from Las Vegas Boulevard between Flamingo and the LINQ hotel. It opened in 2013–2014 and anchors the east end with the High Roller observation wheel (550 feet). Along the corridor you'll find FLY LINQ (a ten-line zipline over the walkway), Brooklyn Bowl, In-N-Out Burger, Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club, and a row of bars and restaurants. Because it doubles as the pedestrian route between Flamingo and the LINQ, the walk between the two casinos passes the full lineup of attractions.
Where is The LINQ in relation to Flamingo?
The LINQ is at 3535 South Las Vegas Boulevard, directly north of Flamingo on the east side of the Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Harrah's Las Vegas sits just north of the LINQ, and Caesars Palace is across and down the Strip to the southwest. The LINQ opened in its current form in 2014 (the hotel was previously the Imperial Palace and, briefly, The Quad) and is operated by Caesars Entertainment. The Harrah's/The LINQ monorail station is on the east side behind the property, connecting to the wider Las Vegas Monorail.
