The LINQ Hotel + Experience

I'm not a fancy hotel person , but I do work at a fancy hotel , the Bellagio. So , I know the Linq is not in the same class which is fine for me. I had 2 Comp Nights through Caesar's Rewards and decided to take a Staycation. I normally don't do the tourist thing on the Strip since I work on the Strip and usually only go there when friends come to visit. I could have stayed at the Horseshoe , but chose the Linq due to the Prominade and surrounding things like the Carnival Court for Live Bands. My room was a King Bed Deluxe Room District 3. The Resort Fee was $46.00 a night , the Bellagio is $50.00 a night ! I think it should be more like $35 honestly for what amenities are here , especially the pool area is tiny. My room was small , but was big enough for me. It did come with a small refrigerator instead of a mini bar full of stuff , but the refrigerator was barely cold and I lowered the temperature and got a bucket of ice to put in it so I could chill my waters and sodas I brought. It also had a small coffee maker with one regular and one decaf packet. A lot of Strip casinos don't have a coffee maker unless you have a Suite and they want you to go downstairs and go to Starbucks or somewhere like that. The bed was comfortable and came with 4 long pillows. The air conditioning worked well , but was the old wall mounted hotel ones from like the 60's. This of course use to be Imperial Palace back in the days if you didn't know. TV was decent size with lots of channels and movies available for rent. You could also access services through the TV which I thought was great. You don't have to call for a Bellman for your luggage , you can use the TV to do that , great idea. We don't have that at the Bellagio , but you can Checkout and View Your Bill on the TV. You can even rent Board Games on the TV and get Housekeeping. The Pool was such a disappointment ! Small pool that looked like it was only 4 feet deep with games on the side. They also had another one that you sat in that I thought was going to be a jacuzzi , but it wasn't. They had a bar and a DJ booth and Cabanas available to rent. A small Pina Colada was $28 , but on the Strip you could get one of those 32 ounce bottle ones for $19. I wanted to buy one at the Purple Zebra by the elevators , but it was always closed except once I saw it open and when I came back a couple hours later it was closed again ! I had to go to the Prominade to buy one. I also went to O'Sheas and got the famous Frozen Bailey's which was very rich , almost too rich. The video poker machines at the bar were very very old and hard to see. Speaking of the gaming , lots and lots of the Reels Machines , but hardly any Video Poker except at the bars. I did finally find a couple near the Cashier Cage. My view was horrible. I was in room 20120 which was facing the other building to the left and front and to the right was another building. No view of the Sphere or barely any sky. Oh well I wasn't there for the view. The bathroom was clean and modern and the shower head was great with good pressure. Their was no little bottles of shampoos and soaps , but instead pump dispensers mounted on the wall. The shampoo , conditioner , and body soap smelled of a weird mango smell. But again it worked just fine. I wanted to stay at another Caesar's property , but it wasn't available. Honestly this would work for someone on a budget that wants a clean decent place to stay. I personally would pick another property myself. I did find out that I could have used the pool at the Flamingo which was super cool. I checked it out my last day. Read less

This hotel is great, our room was spotlessly clean with fresh towels everyday, the bed was clean and comfy but the pillows were a bit lumpy, The pool area is kept clean but sometimes there’s no shade, the 2 pools are lovely and plenty of pool towels, they do check your bags for alcohol but that was no problem for me as I only drink water. Beer at the pool bar is really expensive though. But I enjoyed the hotel as it was central to everything Read less

Worst hotel I stayed from all my travels, an overcomplication for everything since check in. Worst customer services I had in the USA. Couldn't be more frustrated. The check in process is long and overcolecated. The employees are mostly rude and sarcastic. Rooms are tiny with no minifridge. Internet doesn't work properly, takes sometimes days to solve a problem, like the not working security box. Read less
