What is “Project Linq”?
The Linq will be a $550 million outdoor retail, dining and entertainment area, similar to the current Freemont Street Experience. It is being modelled after The Grove in Los Angeles and will feature the word’s largest ferris observation wheel, called “The High Roller”.

Where is Linq being built?
Linq is being constructed in the space between the Flamingo and The Quad. Currently, O’Shea’s occupies this location, however it is slated to be closed and demolished to make room for the $550 million entertainment district.
Location of Linq – The Quad is now here
How big is “The High Roller” ? When will it open?
It is the largest ‘wheel’ in the world at 550 feet. It will be 9 feet taller than the Singaport Flyer and will be 107 feet larger than the London Eye. Caesars’ executives have suggested a sub-$20 per person cost to ride the observation wheel, and the first riders are expected to board sometime in 2013. It will take half an hour (30 minutes) to do one revolution of the High Roller.

whoah this blog is excellent i love studying your posts. Keep up the good work! You understand, lots of individuals are looking round for this info, you could aid them greatly. |
I doubt whether the contractors know the precise date – construction work rarely finishes as planned, it can be earlier or later but in my experience there is always construction work somewhere in Las Vegas and it generally isn t that bad.
