LAS VEGAS—The Linq Hotel & Casino, the latest addition to Caesars Entertainment’s portfolio of Las Vegas resorts, opened its doors on Oct. 30 to the first hotel guests with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
“Our billion-dollar transformation of the east side of the Las Vegas Strip is the result of the major transition in our industry from one built around gaming to a more a multi-dimensional hospitality and entertainment business,” said Gary Loveman, chairman, president and CEO of Caesars Entertainment Corporation. “The Linq complex showcases how hospitality is the new driving force attracting a wide array of unique customers and providing an enhanced experience for repeat travelers.”
Caesars Entertainment Executive VP and Chief Commercial Officer Tariq Shaukat, President of Hospitality Bob Morse, Regional President Eileen Moore and Director of Hotel Operations Stephanie Richter joined employees in cutting the ribbon in front of the newly renovated Las Vegas resort.
“With The Linq, we pioneered the creation of a new type of experience for the Las Vegas visitor,” said Shaukat. “The Linq Hotel & Casino continues this ground-breaking approach by offering a ‘Vegas Original,’ socially minded resort at the heart of The Strip. The resort is designed for the changing Las Vegas customer, who is seeking authentic and social entertainment experiences that cannot be found elsewhere, and provides guests with direct access to all the great restaurants, shops and entertainment available at The LINQ Promenade, including the High Roller.”
All hotel rooms and suites contain an interactive system on the TV, which gives guests access to hotel amenities. With the click on the TV remote, guests can order room service, housekeeping items, set up an alarm clock, as well as order one of the many popular board games available to be delivered to the room.
Room service from multiple dining outlets at The Linq Hotel & Casino and Promenade such as Brooklyn Bowl and Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar will also be available. Guests can also access the interactive system from their personal smart phones and personalize their music experience with customized Linq Hotel playlists on Spotify.
