At one time, Linq Hotel was called The Quad. Before that, it was Imperial Palace.<\/p>\n

All its incarnations suffered the slings and arrows of customer complaints around one aspect of the hotel: The elevators.<\/p>\n

Now, it seems Linq has decided to bite the bullet and invest in new elevators, and we’ve got the scoop on what’s up.<\/p>\n

\"Linq
Slow elevator service at Linq has always pushed a lot of buttons with guests.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For ages, guests have endured long wait times, often 15 minutes or more, for elevators at Linq.<\/p>\n

Reportedly, some didn’t function at all.<\/p>\n

Many guests report having been stuck in the elevators at various times, and having to use the “call” button to request assistance.<\/p>\n

A new bank of elevators is under construction, so it seems Linq (and its owner Caesars Entertainment) grew tired of getting hammered on Trip Advisor and other review sites.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the structure housing the new elevators at Linq.<\/p>\n

\"Linq
The kvetching will soon be over!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The new set of elevators are on the east side of the resort, near the walkway to Harrah’s, just inside Linq.<\/p>\n

Guests will find them at the bottom of the escalators from the new (but sadly idle) Forum convention center and monorail (also idle) station.<\/p>\n

Big thanks to our buddy James<\/a> on the Twitters for this discovery.<\/p>\n

Linq is also installing an awning just outside for rideshare passengers.<\/p>\n

\"Linq
These upgrades were probably planned for awhile, but the Caesars merger with Eldorado no doubt kicked them into high gear.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s unknown when the new Linq elevators will be operational, but they’ll be a welcome addition when guests flock back to Linq.<\/p>\n

Linq is the epitome of “mixed reviews,” but continues to be a great value with some fun amenities and one of the best locations on the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Faster, more reliable elevators could be just the lift Linq needs so customers no longer feel like they’re getting the shaft.<\/p>\n

Update (3\/19\/21): We heard back from Caesars Entertainment about details. There are four elevator cars being installed, and the project is expected to be completed by the end of May 2021.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
