Hotel Review: Easy check-in with Diamond status and was nice to skip the lines. Room was on the smaller size, but fit 2 queen beds and all our stuff without issue. Might have been nice to have more countertop/desk like space. Bathroom was filled with all the necessities that come standard with any hotel. The main negative is if you have a car. We were doing daily valet and the entrance to the casino is a little hard to find the first time and inconvenient to access from the strip. There is no car access from the strip and you must enter from the back of the casino.
Casino Review: Loud and very energetic. Catering to more of a party/younger(?) crowd with the Irish Pub attached that has beerpong going at all hours and upbeat LOUD music at all times on the casino floor. Probably just not my vibe for Vegas. Lots of options of table games and more.
Location in the center of the strip and adjacent to the Linq Promanade makes this a heavy contender when deciding where to stay in Vegas. I really like a lot of the businesses on the Promanade and enjoy spending time there when I visit LV.
