MainEventTravel’s Vegas Guide: The LINQ Promenade

By Mad Harper

Of all the many attractions that have opened in Vegas in recent years, the LINQ Promenade has proved one of the most successful: an appealing, tree-lined open-air pedestrian walkway featuring tons of shops, restaurants, bars and attractions.

Situated between the Linq hotel and the Flamingo casino, the Linq Promenande first opened in March 2014 and has become a very welcome addition for those seeking things to do in Las Vegas that are non-casino related. LINQ Promenade is now a must for any Vegas visitor and a great place to direct your friends and family if you’re running deep in a poker game somewhere! If you're staying on the Strip, LINQ Promenade is conveniently located close to lots of hotels and guests at the Flamingo Las Vegas or The LINQ Hotel itself can just walk right out onto the walkway.

The highlight of the LINQ Promenade – and certainly its most visible feature – is the High Roller, a 550-foot Ferris wheel which is the tallest in the world and provides 360 degree views of the whole city. But even if you’re not planning on taking a ride, the Linq Promenade is a great place to just wander around: taking in the atmosphere, grabbing a bite to eat, fantastic shopping, and enjoying the open air.

ATTRACTIONS

The High Roller

Soaring 550 feet above the center of the Las Vegas Strip, the High Roller wheel is the biggest of its kind in the world, eclipsing both the London Eye and the Singapore Flyer. Offering stunning 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Valley and The Strip, each ride takes 30 minutes. There are 28 large air-conditioned cabins with several designated as High Roller “Happy Hour”. For only slightly more than the cost of a regular ticket, a Happy Half Hour ticket includes one 30 minute rotation with an in-cabin open bar – and bartender to serve up the fun. Do note that guests must be 21 or older.

The High Roller provides several other novelty rides as well including sky-high yoga classes and a speciality chocolate tour. If doing ‘downward dog’ at 550 feet sounds like your kind of thing, then you’ll love the chance to join one of the High Roller yoga sessions. For amateurs and full-on yogis alike, this one-hour experience aims to provide a soothing yet energizing session – all while taking in sweeping views of the Las Vegas Valley. The High Roller yoga classes run Sunday, Wednesday and Friday at 11:30am and sunset options are also available. To book, call 702-322-0593, or email HighRollerCustomerCare@caesars.com

Another great High Roller experience on offer is the unique chocolate-sampling tour run by Las Vegas-based Ethel M Chocolates. During this ride, you get to try liqueur-infused chocolates and learn about the origins and creation of each piece while drinking a glass of fine wine and taking in the amazing views. Led by an expert ‘chocolatier’ ambassador, tastings are available every Thursday from 5:00pm-8:00pm for guests 21 and older. For more information or to book your chocolate experience, please call 702-777-2782.

The High Roller also offers (of course, this is Vegas!) the ultimate in romantic experiences: sky high weddings. You can take your special day to new heights by booking your wedding on the High Roller for a truly memorable Vegas ceremony.

VR Adventures

Back down on the ground, VR Adventures is a new attraction at LINQ Promenade offering a cutting edge, immersive Virtual Reality experience that plunges guests into a 3D virtual world. If you’ve never tried VR before, VR Adventures will probably blow your mind – just put on the special goggles and be transported into a unique VR experience. Unlike other video games, VR Adventures requires gamers to use hand movements, walk, sidestep or jump to explore or fly through the virtual world.

Linq Promenade at night

One of the great things about the LINQ Promenade is that there’s tons to do at all times of the day and night. Two of the biggest nighttime attractions are the Brooklyn Bowl and O’Sheas. Described by Rolling Stone magazine as “one of the most incredible places on earth", the Brooklyn Bowl combines a fantastic 2,500 capacity music venue, with six bars, a great restaurant and a 32-lane bowling alley. O'Sheas Pub is a long-time favourite Irish pub themed venue, now revamped for the LINQ Promenade. The new 5,000 square foot O'Sheas has kept the fun and raucous atmosphere of the original – with the same gaming tables, beer pong tournaments and drink specials that has always made O'Sheas so popular. There are more than 50 types of beer, table games, a lively outdoor bar and nightly entertainment at its Irish-inspired stage area with live performances – plus O’Sheas popular host Lucky the Leprechaun on hand to keep the party upbeat.

Shopping at the Linq Promenade
Shopping – or window-shopping – at the LINQ Promenade is a lot of fun. Even if you don’t buy a thing, you’ll find a lot of the stores at the LINQ Promenade super-entertaining. 12amrun was founded in early 2014 by rap legend Nas with the aim of selling super- exclusive sneakers in an upmarket setting. Located under the Linq Promenade High Roller, the store will get you browsing with a bounce as live DJs play hip hop classics and current hits from a booth above the shop floor. Brands include Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Stussy, HUF, Stance, Publish, Mitchell & Ness, all offering a unique look that combines hip-hop, street, sport, fitness, skate, and Vegas nightclub.

Also at “foot level” is a branch of Havaianas, the iconic Brazilian flip flops brand. The Las Vegas boutique stocks more than 300 different styles and colorful designs, including "embellish your own" Havaianas and Las Vegas-themed styles. There’s a huge assortment of sandals for women, men and kids, as well as accessories. The premium flip flops are all made of fine rubber from Brazil, where they are still crafted to this day.

Las Vegas Harley-Davidson preserves the iconic motorcycle brand’s heritage, while offering products that are exclusive to Las Vegas. The collection features a vintage look and fans will revel in the huge range of leather apparel, T-shirts, sunglasses, bags, gifts and Harley Davidson collectibles.

Other cool stores at LINQ Promenade include Chilli Beans – a Brazilian accessories brand specialising in eyewear and watches ranging from eccentric to chic. Shoppers are encouraged to try on as many as they want with Chilli Beans offering some of the quirkiest frames in the market from vintage Hollywood cat eye glasses to aviators. The brand releases 10 styles of its own designs each week, each made in collaboration with prestigious guest artists. If hats are your thing, don’t miss a visit to the Goorin Brothers Hat Shop. Rich wood and antique fixtures highlight a vast collection of hand-crafted hats – from fedoras and flat caps to bowlers, top hats and fishermen’s berets. The Goorin Brothers Hat Shop has been going since 1895 and the location marks its 29th retail store. “Breaking Bad” fans can even buy Walter White’s iconic Goorin Bros. Heisenberg hat.

Other stores to look out for at the LINQ Promenade include the Honolulu Cookie Company which has been perfecting the recipe for shortbread cookies since 1998. Each cookie is baked daily in Honolulu, made with the finest ingredients and natural Hawaiian flavors, hand-dipped in chocolate and individually wrapped to maintain its delicious oven-fresh quality. You’re allowed to sample any cookie so go in and try some! Nectar Bath Treats offers bakery-inspired handmade soap treats that look great and leave your skin feeling amazing. These are fun, whimsical handcrafted pieces of art, made using natural, sustainable and vegan friendly ingredients.

Where to Eat and Drink at Linq Promenade

Two venues that have attracted a lot of attention at Linq Promenade are Haute Doggery and Sprinkles Cupcakes.
