Shopping and entertainment on The Linq Promenade

Among the main thoroughfares of Las Vegas, far from being quiet and peaceful, The Linq shows a completely different side of the city. Lined with trees, it offers a pleasant setting in which to let yourself wander. This pedestrianised street lends itself to a calm, relaxed atmosphere that can be shared with the whole family. There are plenty of cafés and boutiques where you can do a bit of shopping and relax on a terrace away from the crowds and hustle and bustle of the Strip.

The Linq Promenade is easy to get to, linking the famous Strip between the Flamingo Hotel and The LINQ Hotel, all the way to the High Roller attraction, an impressive Ferris wheel overlooking the street. This pedestrianised area is a particularly pleasant place to recharge your batteries away from the hustle and bustle of the Strip.

A shopping spree

The Linq Promenade is the perfect place for a shopping spree in the heart of Las Vegas. The alleyway is home to a wide range of shops, from candy shops to hat shops and the famous brand of flip-flops, Havaianas. There are also plenty of restaurants and entertainment venues.

Take a ride on the Las Vegas Ferris Wheel

Also known as The High Roller, this attraction is the largest and highest observation wheel in North America. At 168 metres high, it even surpasses the 165-metre height of the latest "world's tallest Ferris wheel" in Singapore. Those wishing to climb aboard should be aware that, given its size and circumference, it still takes 30 minutes to complete a full turn of the wheel. Enough time to take full advantage of the view over Las Vegas.

Tyrolean traverse

Here's a thrilling attraction! And above all, one that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Thanks to this zip line, named FlyLinq, adventurers can enjoy a unique experience, flying over the LINQ Promenade and part of Las Vegas like a bird, 35 metres high. An activity full of adrenalin, speed and exhilaration.

As you can see, there's no shortage of things to do here. The restaurants, fast-food outlets and bars reflect this profusion. There are more than twenty restaurants, including those of chefs Guy Fieri, with his Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar, and the much-hyped Gordon Ramsay, with his Gordon Ramsay Fish & Chips. There's also the Mexican JaBurritos and the Yard House with its steaks, jimbalayas, seafood and burgers. A very rich menu.

Summer in Las Vegas can be particularly arid, with temperatures easily reaching 35°C and very high levels of sunshine, if not too much. With these climatic conditions, people tend to seek out cooler areas and go to air-conditioned places, such as shops and shopping arcades. To make the most of the outdoors, and in particular places like Linq Promenade, the best time to go is from April to June, or September to October.
