I stayed at the Linq this past week while in town for a convention and had a great experience. Check-in took only a few minutes and it was painless and easy, the receptionist let me pick my floor which i thought was nice so i can have a view of the strip.
As far as the room, it was modern and clean as well as I liked the showers as they had the soap, shampoo and conditioner in the dispensers.
The hotel is in a walk-able convenient location with the strip on one side and the tram on the other, it was very easy to hop on and off depending on where you needed to go. i would recommend this hotel to others as well as stay here on my next trip.
