She said since I was there for only one night, that she would give me a suite! I hadn’t planned to be in the room much so I wasn’t going to ask for an upgrade (or try the $20 trick) so this was a pleasant surprise. Luckily I was able to stroll right on by into the VIP check-in area where I was greeted, given a water and checked-in.Ī Surprise Upgrade The Linq outdoor mall is amazing.ĭuring check-in the agent at first gave me a couple of choices of basic room locations and then changed her mind.

Since I was meeting my wife down on the Strip and to avoid us having two cars, I used a flat fare Uber ride to reach The Linq. Diamond status gives me a number of perks including Diamond Lounge Access, VIP check-in and no resort fees! Considering the resort fee at The Linq is $34.01 by itself, it was quite the savings. I tried to focus on Total Rewards properties, since I have Diamond status through my Founderscard membership. Not bad! Founderscard Total Rewards Diamond Pays Off

I immediately booked it! Shortly afterwards the priced jumped back up. At about 2pm I pulled up the Total Rewards site and found that The Linq had briefly dropped to $24.65 for the night.

Unfortunately Las Vegas hotel rooms get quite expensive on the weekends and this particular weekend seemed worse than normal. Thus, it only made sense to try to get a hotel room. We also had plans to be on the Strip with friends Saturday night. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I had reservations to eat at the amazing Sterling Brunch at Bally’s on a Sunday morning (review to come later). Sometimes I review them and others I just do it to be more in tune with the city. Linq Hotel & Casino Suite ReviewĪlthough I live in Las Vegas, from time to time I do stay in the hotels here.
