I've stayed at a few places in Vegas and I like the LinQ for a few reasons. Their rooms are way superior to the Flamingo- I would say comparable to a W Hotel or Ace Hotel. The rooms are trendy and nice. I would highly suggest younger crowd looking for affordable accommodations who don't want to skip on the luxury to stay here.
Reservations are great- and when on-site they work quickly and politely to get you checked in (big plus). They have a vmail greeting for you on the phone when you arrive and don't inundate you with updates you don't want. Most importantly they make sure you understand their key process and they have an email version of check in and check out. You still need to present your card and your ID but I'm sure it speeds up the process a check in. At checkout you get your bill and email to you which is way convenient.
The casino is big enough and they have a fair priced food. I was upset during my trip I could never get anything delivered but maybe bad timing--- I'd love to see more room deliveries here. When you call guest services though you will get a friendly person on the line who really does care about what you want.
The massage spa is great but doesn't have a sauna. Richard, my therapist was excellent and really helped me out with my bad back. I'm not so certain how successful the tattoo parlor will be- but I'm looking forward to the men's salon that they're putting in for my next trip.
My favorite slot which paid good return was fire house hounds located near the entrance that leads to the courtyard of shops- maybe I wore it out though so please don't hate me of you lose. It's a gamble! Speaking of the courtyard that tequila lounge that's located just outside to the left has excellent food and as an asset to the hotel.
I would stay here again- beware of the pool music at night if your sound sensitive. It helped me sleep but as an accommodations manager I feel it's important to point out.
Ps- don't forget to go to the note and get one of the refillable cups. This came in handy every morning for me at breakfast when I was trying to rehydrate.
