Vegas Cuts Ribbon on Latest Strip Hotel

The east side of the famed Las Vegas Strip continues to evolve: the LINQ Hotel & Casino just opened its doors last week, replacing the former Quad Resort & Casino.

The LINQ sits in front of the world's largest observation wheel, called the High Roller, and a new outdoor shopping and dining area. The LINQ's lobby, rooms, and brand-new suites boast the hip, urban aesthetic that is becoming the norm in Vegas. The new hotel is also a steal, with a special going for $79 a night, including two passes to the High Roller. More info here.
