STRIP ATTRACTION WILL INCLUDE 550 FOOT OBSERVATION WHEEL AND 200,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL AND ENTERTAINMENT SPACE

Caesars Entertainment Corp's 550 million dollar Linq project between the Flamingo and Imperial Palace is a pedestrian shopping, dining and entertainment venue that will include a 550 foot tall observation wheel.

To make way for the project the tennis courts at the Flamingo were demolished
along with 90 rooms at the Imperial Palace, some of the oldest rooms at the
hotel.

The observation wheel will be named "The Las Vegas High Roller", and the
components are being made at factories outside of Las Vegas.

In all, the buildings will house some 32 tenants. Caesars hasn't yet announced
the retail, dining and entertainment lineup but it will be impressive as interest
in the project has been high.

Estimates are that the Linq will employ about 3,000 construction workers and
create some 1,500 permanent job once it opens.Its diverse tenant mix will appeal to
clientele ages 21 to 46.
