$550M Project To Revitalize Vegas Strip, Create Jobs

LAS VEGAS-Caesars Entertainment Corp. has revealed plans for a $550-million retail, dining, entertainment and hospitality district located at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip called the Linq. It is designed as “a destination in its own right and is being created to revitalize and re-define the center-resort corridor,” according to Caesars.

Caesars estimates that the Linq will employ about 3,000 construction workers and create 1,500 permanent jobs once it opens. “We are enhancing the allure of the resort experience in a coveted location, introducing an exciting new offering not only for guests occupying our own 24,000 Las Vegas hotel rooms, but also for all who live in and visit Las Vegas,” says Gary Loveman, chairman, president and CEO of Caesars Entertainment Corp. “The Linq is going to be the new address for fun at the center of the Las Vegas Strip.”
