🌟 What to Do at The LINQ Promenade
1) 🎡 Ride the High Roller (best views, easiest “wow”)
High Roller is the iconic wheel at the end of the Promenade:
- 550 feet above the Strip
- 28 cabins
- ~30 minutes per full rotation
✅ Tip: Go after sunset for the best lights (Strip looks unreal at night).
2) 🪂 Fly LINQ Zipline (quick adrenaline, great photos)
Fly LINQ is the Strip’s zipline experience above the Promenade:
- Launch from a high tower
- Ride 1,121 feet
- Speeds up to 35 mph
- You fly toward the High Roller area
✅ Tip: Do it earlier if you don’t want wind/cold at night (winter evenings can feel chilly up high).
3) 🍔 Eat + drink (easy “no-reservation” plan)
The Promenade is built for quick decisions: you show up, walk 2 minutes, pick a place.
- Expect a mix: fast casual, bars, dessert spots, and bigger sit-down options.
4) 📸 Photo spots that actually work
- In the middle of the Promenade with High Roller in the background
- Near the High Roller entrance for “Vegas postcard” shots
- Night photos look best right after blue hour (10–20 minutes after sunset)
⏱️ Best Time to Visit (Crowds + Vibe)
- 🌙 Best vibe: Night (lights, music, buskers, party energy)
- 📸 Best photos / fewer people: weekday afternoons
- 👨👩👧 Best for families: late morning → early afternoon (less rowdy, easier strollers)
⚠️ Important: individual venues have their own hours (restaurants/bars/attractions differ), so plan around the specific attraction you want (High Roller, zipline, etc.).
🚶 How to Get There (From Anywhere on the Strip)
Option A: 🚶 Walk (often fastest)
LINQ Promenade is mid-Strip and designed for foot traffic.
Option B: 🚌 RTC Deuce (best budget)
Deuce on The Strip:
- Operates 24/7
- Runs about every 10–15 min (7 AM–1 AM) and every ~20 min (1 AM–7 AM)
- Lists “The Linq” as a point of interest/stop area
✅ Tip: During big events (like F1 week), RTC may run modified routing—check rideRTC/RTC alerts.
Option C: 🚇 Las Vegas Monorail (fast + avoids traffic)
Closest station is Harrah’s & The LINQ Monorail Station:
- Address: 3535 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
- Typical hours listed (vary by day): e.g., Mon 7 AM–12 AM, Fri/Sat 7 AM–3 AM
✅ Tip: Monorail is great if you’re coming from MGM Grand / Westgate / Sahara side—then short walk into the LINQ complex.
Option D: 🚖 Taxi / rideshare
Best if you’re dressed up, with kids, or it’s super late.
Option E: 🚗 Drive + parking
Parking on the Strip is usually paid and can change by day/event. Caesars notes many of their properties charge for self/valet parking.

✈️ Airport Connections: LAS → The LINQ Promenade (Step-by-Step)
RTC’s official airport transit page says:
- Route 108, Route 109, and CX stop at Terminal 1, Ground Level Zero
- CX also services Terminal 3
Easiest public-transit route (simple + reliable)
- ✈️ From LAS, take CX (Centennial Express) (Terminal 1 Level Zero; also Terminal 3).
- Get off around the Strip corridor (CX serves major Strip/downtown hubs).
- Transfer to Deuce and ride to The Linq stop area.
- Walk into the Promenade.
✅ If you have luggage and want “zero thinking,” rideshare/taxi is the fastest door-to-door option.
⚠️ Common Mistakes (Vegas-proof tips)
- ⚠️ Assuming everything has one opening time → attractions and restaurants all differ (check the specific thing you’re doing).
- ⚠️ Going mid-day in July/Aug without water → it’s open-air; heat hits hard.
- ⚠️ Not planning your ride back → late nights can mean longer waits for rideshare and packed buses.
