If you've been here in the past, chances are it's different now than before.
That's a very good thing. This hotel used to be a real dump when it was the IP and the Quard. Not anymore.
We had a great stay at the Linq. The new rooms are modern and fantastic. No, they're not larger than they were before, but they make good use of space. There's a mural behind the bed (not every room has the same one) that's backlit under the headboard. The nightstands have lamps with 2 outlets on them for charging and the small desk built into the wall has an additional 3 outlets and wired internet built into the desk. There's also WiFi which I did not use, as I had plenty of Verizon LTE in my room and in the casino. The bathroom has a shower with rainfall showerhead and plenty of hot water. The closet area has a small fridge built in.
Service was excellent - even the housekeepers were friendly - and there was no shortage of people cleaning and dusting the halls and making the place look like new.
Construction is still ongoing. It's limited to outdoors between the parking garage and entrance and the area leading back to the guest elevators. The pool area is still under construction as is the spa. They are also still doing about half of the rooms in the hotel - I noticed while riding the High Roller that the rooms closest to the strip were all dark so those must be the rooms still being refurbished. You wouldn't know it from walking off of the elevator - that's all new - and we didn't encounter any noise during our stay. While we did hear several rooms getting their party on walking from the elevator to our room, once we were in our room we didn't hear any noise.
The casino is a fun place to play and both my wife and I won more here than the other places we played. The new lounge off the lobby (3535) has great cocktails with infused liquors and again very friendly service. Hash House is probably the best breakfast in Vegas. I don't think we encountered anyone working at the Linq that didn't seem happy to be there. Even the guards checking room keys at the elevators were fun.
Stay here. I'd come back again in a heartbeat.
