Buzz is building about a new zipline attraction planned for the Linq promenade in the center of the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

We should know, we started the buzz! Hey, everybody needs a hobby.<\/p>\n

Details are few about the new zipline, but given the financial success of downtown’s SlotZilla zipline<\/a> (where we work in digital marketing as our day job), we’re surprised ziplines haven’t already cropped up elsewhere on The Strip.<\/p>\n

\"Linq
Ziplining is the new slot machining.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The closest thing to a zipline on the Las Vegas Strip is the VooDoo Zipline at Rio Las Vegas<\/a>, which opened in May 2014. Unlike traditional ziplines, guests of the VooDoo Zipline ride in a ski lift-style chair between the Rio’s hotel towers.<\/p>\n

While Rio is in the Caesars Entertainment family of casinos, the folks behind the VooDoo Zipline won’t be involved in the new attraction at Linq.<\/p>\n

\"Linq
Let’s just jump ahead to the Caesars Entertainment statement: “We do not respond to rumors and speculation blah-blah-blah.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A zipline at Linq promenade would seem to be a good fit.<\/p>\n

The world’s tallest Ferris wheel, the High Roller, hasn’t quite lived up to expectations in terms of ridership (it hovers around 50% of capacity), and a zipline would be another offering to draw families as well as millennials, a coveted customer for casinos.<\/p>\n

Linq promenade is flanked by the Flamingo and Linq resorts.<\/p>\n

The zipline at Linq promenade will run from the Linq hotel to the High Roller. (Note: Our original story surmised the zipline would run from the High Roller toward the Linq hotel. It’s since been confirmed it’s the opposite direction.)<\/p>\n

Linq and its parent company would be wise to borrow a page from the SlotZilla playbook.<\/p>\n

When guests fly over an area with lots of foot traffic, enthusiastic screams from above can sell an attraction better than any advertising ever could.<\/p>\n

Back in 2012, there were rumors<\/a> of a series of ziplines planned by MGM Resorts that would connect Luxor and Excalibur, but those never materialized.<\/p>\n

\"Linq
Linq recently got its very own In-N-Out, which is like a zipline for your mouth. Or something.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

No official announcement of a zipline at Linq promenade has been made, but if it’s in a news release, it’s too late!<\/p>\n

We’ll share more details as they become available, but rest assured if the price point is right, and the Linq zipline provides a reasonably good experience, the operators will soon be printing money.<\/p>\n

Update (11\/8\/17): Our story has been confirmed with an official announcement by Caesars Entertainment. Fly Linq will have 10 side-by-side lines.<\/p>\n

\"Fly
Behold the new High Roller Ferris wheel delivery device, Fly Linq.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Fly Linq zipline launch tower will be 122 feet tall and guests will travel 1,080 feet.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
