I stayed at this property when it was the Imperial Palace and the Quad. The LINQ is a COMPLETELY new and different entity.
I stayed here 2 weeks ago for a conference based here. I was shocked at the big time improvements. here they are:
1. You have to have a key card to access floors via elevators.
2. The rooms have lovely and with modern decorum.
3. Room keys are now with a nice touch pad.
4. Door to room has latch for safety.
5. In room safe.
6. In room fridge.
7. Water as part of resort fee.
8. Smart dispensers for bath gel, conditioner and shampoo.
9. Meeting rooms short distance and very nice!
10. Best location on Las Vegas Boulevard.
My stay coincided with St. Patrick's Day. The LINQ was the epicenter for the madness BUT, folks were pleasant, but crazy. No one ever bothered or offended me. Such a nice fun day!
I highly recommend the LINQ!
