The Linq Promenade

The Linq (formerly Flamingo Capri, Imperial Palace and The Quad) is a 2,640-room casino hotel and shopping promenade on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment. As of 2012, the casino is 33,890 sq ft (3,148 m²)^[1] with 830 slot machines, 55 table games, and a race and sports book. A great post

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. In 2012, the resort was renamed as The Quad. The resort was renamed again as The Linq in 2014, after a $223-million renovation. Additional info
