The Linq is the narrow shopping cooridor between the Quad and the Flamingo and heads down to the big observation wheel - the High Roller.
Yeah, it's commercial and touristy as hell but I kinda dig this outdoor spot. I have to give kudos that many of their vendors are unique to Linq so its just not like "any other mall". There's a interesting hat store, a Polaroid museum ( I collect old cameras!), Kitson, etc. Many food options available for a quick bite or sit down.
Theres fountains and seating areas but they could use more benches. Walking the strip is tiring business!
Whats interesting is there's a machine that sends you a free photo postcard from the Linq via e-mail spread throughout and a Polaroid booth and other photo ops for selfiehappy folks. There's free WiFi here though I dont know if it's too busy to find a spot for work/study if you happen to be visiting.
Plus with it being narrow is theres shade so maybe you wont die in the summer. I wont be there then but Im sure I'll be back soon the sample more stores and eateries.
