It originally opened in 1959 as the 180-room Flamingo Capri motel, located adjacent to the Flamingo hotel and casino. Ralph Engelstad purchased the property in 1971, and added a casino the following year. In 1977, the hotel had 650 rooms, after the completion of its Imperial Palace Tower. The resort was later reopened as the Asian-themed Imperial Palace in 1979.
Several additional hotel towers were added during the 1980s, bringing the resort’s room count to an ultimate total of 2,637, after the completion of a fifth and final hotel tower in 1987. At the time of Engelstad’s death in 2002, the resort had 2,600 employees and was the second-largest privately owned hotel in the world.[citation needed] In 2012, the resort was renamed as The Quad. The resort was renamed again as The Linq in 2014, after a $223-million renovation. Next blog post
