The remodel did the LINQ hotel some justice. It's a clean hotel for a good price and even better location. There's the LINQ promenade which includes the Ferris wheel and the Brooklyn Bowl with a few shops and restaurants. One of my favorite places to hit up is Sprinkles.
I enjoyed staying at the LINQ, but I have to say that one of the biggest downsides for me was true smell of the smoke. I know, it's Vegas, so there's smoked filled rooms everywhere but this one seemed worse than the other hotels that I stayed in. Huge pet peeve for me, and can definitely be a deal breaker because I would want to be inhaling all of that air.
