Las Vegas: Fun Things to Do on the Linq Promenade

The Linq Promenade is a slightly”off the strip” experience, located between the Flamingo and Linq Hotels. If you want to explore with less crowds; you’ll discover fun things to do on The Linq Promenade.

Eat In-N-Out Burger

Burgers your way, animal fries and fifty vibes are the signatures of this beloved fast food chain. In-n- Out started in California in 1948, and has expanded to other states. If you’ve never set your chops on one of these juicy burgers, you are missing out! Whenever I fly to Vegas or CA, In and Out is always my first stop upon arrival.

Rumors do fly about a “secret menu” and many wonder what’s on it. According to the website, there isn’t really a menu with hidden choices. You can ask for your hamburger a certain way: double double, triple, or quadruple patties. Wow, I can’t even imagine trying to eat one that big! Also the fries are fresh cut and delicious. If you want to get the ultimate In-n-Out experience, do order the animal fries: yummy!

Ride the High Roller

The High Roller Wheel is the world’s highest observation wheel. The views from the top will be sure to take your breath away. Take in a 360-degree view of the strip and the surrounding Las Vegas Valley. This is a very popular activity, so don’t delay in reserving your tickets.

If you like to hang out in the sky, this is the ride for you! The 28 cabins are very spacious and can be reserved for special events, corporate parties, or group rides. An upgrade ride is available offering an open bar with your own bartender. Each rotation takes about 30 minutes.

Overdose on Chocolate

Chocolate, yes please! No need to visit San Francisco to indulge in the decadent treats Ghirardelli is famous for. Step right up order a thick chocolate shake or sundae, and start counting calories. I walked by this shop 2 or 3 times before giving into temptation.

Oh my, it was a difficult decision with so many irresistible sweets staring you in the face! The hot fudge used in all the sundaes and milkshakes is homemade. Ghirardelli is known for top quality goodness and rich ingredients. Make sure you arrive on an empty stomach, the tasty treats are very filling.

Shop Specialty Boutiques

Nine specialty shops are available to browse and get your shopaholic fix. From the fashion savvy hipster to the Harley Davidson fan, there is shopping for everyone. The famous Honolulu Cookie Company has a shop here too, with the best shortbread cookies you ever tasted.

Enjoy Exciting Night Life

Just walking up and down the Promenade at night was excitement enough! I love all the flashy signs, and glitzy lights illuminating the street. The High Roller hiding out back and the palms swaying in the breeze, make for a perfect night out.

If you like to play beer pong and sample a wide menu of beer offerings, O’sheas Irish Pub is a fun stop for the night. Live music is offered along with outdoor seating. Also popular on the promenade for nighttime; are Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club and American Beer & Cocktails.

Night tours & pub crawls are available to explore the the sights and sounds of the night. Take in the sights from up top of an open air bus. Your view from above will be bar none!

Explore the Flamingo Hotel

The Flamingo is flamboyant and colorful, and that’s why I love it! It is one of the three oldest hotels on the strip. The other two are the Tropicana and Caesars Palace. These 3 hotels are historical icons, and so much fun to explore.

This hotel was originally the “Pink Flamingo Hotel and Casino, associated with Bugsy Siegel the famous mobster. Enjoy vintage vibes for your photo shoots, or throw back to the 70’s and see the Donny and Marie show.

Bowl to Live Music

Bowling is always fun, and who knew you could do it near the strip, with live music to boot. Brooklyn Bowl is a destination music venue in Las Vegas. Enjoy a game of bowling while rockin the night away to live musical performances. There are also 6 different cocktail bars located throughout the bowling alley.

Fly Linq

There are only two places that I know of in the city to do zip lining. You can reserve it on the promenade at Fly Linq, or downtown in Fremont. Get the adrenaline going and have an electrifying ride through the sky. You will be gliding 12 stories above the promenade.

All dare devils line up and experience the thrill of your life! I’ve never tried a zipline before; rest assured my first time won’t be flying over a concrete jungle! I’ll only zipline where there is lots of green pasture or padding below!

I love Sugar

Here you will experience over 14,000 feet of candy paradise. OH, and don’t miss the 2nd floor where you can get lost in a chocolate haven. Also on tap: candy martini’s, imagine that!

I Love Sugar was founded in 2012 with plans to innovate the candy store industry. It is considered the “Apple” store of candy. Every sweet treat imaginable, is at your finger tips: including retro treats you loved as a kid. You’ll find it all at this ginormous candy land.
