If your staying at the Linq this is a good bar for a quick drink or to watch a game! Good spot to just chill, sit and people watch! Prices....it's Vegas!

R.I.P. original bar chairs (2014 - 2016)
Jade T.

Enjoy cocktails? Inventive craft cocktails? Elevated a little off casino level of Linq hotel is this circular bar, one of the Strip's few infusion bars. Menu boasts custom ingredients. Grimlet is a classic gimlet infused with house-made green tea syrup, mint-infused Hendrick's gin, fresh lime, cardomom bitters. Ruby Rose is an infusion martini: rose honey and raspberry-infused Beefeater gin, St. Germain liqueur, cranberry juice, splash of house-made grenadine. Pig Newton (for whiskey and bourbon aficionados) is made with fig-infused Jack Daniel's Honey and ancho-chile Maker's Mark. It's *supposed* to get an extra kick of delicious-ness via bacon salt on the rim. When made right, the concoction is outstanding. When they're out of this special salt and water the thing down? Disappointment. Wat-a-pear = watermelon- and rosemary-infused Tito's vodka, St. Germain and fresh watermelon juice. Good, if lighter on the alcohol. El Fuego = mango, citrus and jalapeño-infused Sauza tequila, agave nectar, mango purée, house-made sour mix. Apple-cinnamon Old Fashioned = apple cinnamon-infused Bulleit bourbon, 151 rum-soaked cherry and torched orange garnish. Another dessert type is Mint Oreo Martini. The Mule is mint- and ginger-infused Stoli vodka with Domainde Canton liqueur, muddled lime, topped with a splash of ginger beer garnished with candied ginger. At one point, 3535 made a great Bloody Mary. "Garden" version was a tall glass of spicy tomato-ness with two bleu-cheese stuffed olives and a strip of candied peppered bacon. It was served over unique ice cubes, 1.5-inches frozen water blocks. Their original bar chairs (as seen in following link) were stylish and comfy. https://s3-media2.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/X-dWfG1AMUAv9cTRTlUWKA/o.jpg Now? Gone. Replaced by fug brown Naugahyde-ish wobbly stools you can't wait to escape. The alternatives are open lounge round seating, or one of the back booths with monitors airing Screenplay Entertainment, music videos of mostly electronic dance music or pop artists. On certain days a d-j sets up in a corner and blasts tunes. Having frequented enough since its opening, I'd gladly rate it higher if things were consistent and less hit-and-miss. Trajectory went from very good to 'wth happened to the tasty dranx'. Perhaps the key is getting the right bartender. But still... with all the bar/lounge options in walking distance, 3535 should, and can, be better.

5.75 gets you this at the linq if you gamble with them for 3 hours.  Lucky for them there are plenty of other casinos on the strip.

I'm going to be nice. We've been gambling at the linq for about 3 hours and have yet to see a server. I walked over to this bar just to get a water or Pepsi. I told the bartender we haven't seen anyone for hours and just wondered if we could get a drink since we are playing the machines. He didn't answer but then gave me a Pepsi. Good right? He then said that would be $5.75. Omg!!! Won't be back.

This isn't so much a bar, but a great pit stop before heading to your next location. Located in the Linq hotel, 3535 is a solid place to drink and people watch at the same time. Beer, wine, cocktails this bar has all the bases covered, but without the normal casino prices. There are also about six private booth areas for you and your party to hang and sip before heading into the craziness that is the strip. These private booths not only offer privacy, but also power outlets and recharge stations for your cell phone, so there's never a missed selfie moment. Great place to also get some work done if you have some Strip located meetings, great Wi-Fi here. Headed to the Linq? Stop here first and get your buzz going.

Gorgeous bartender :)

They just opened 2 weeks ago, it's a bar and lounge in the center of The Linq hotel and casino, very open and modern, we had a few drinks there before High Roller ride. Since I intended to get very buzzed before getting on the ride, I ordered a few strong cocktails and shots, and they worked! The drink menu is very extensive, they have many crafted cocktails and infusion shots, the eye candy bartender Amanda made us a few ones she invented by herself, we just told her what we preferred, what liquor, what flavor, she did a great job accommodating our requests. I liked the vodka ones with spicy flavor so much. I loved it they put diamond shaped ice in cocktails, it was nice! The bartenders were extremely friendly, they were so much fun to hang with! Drinks were very strong, but inexpensive, I got really buzzed getting on the High Roller ride, so I got to enjoy the ride without the fear of heights this time! This was a great bar to hang at The Linq, we had a lot of fun there!

We stopped here for a night cap as our evening was wondering down. With the exception of the actual bar, it was pretty dead which no one seemed to mind. The waitress was nice and quickly took our drink orders. I got an old fashioned and my wife ordered a Moscow mule. She was disappointed that it didn't come in a copper cup but said that it had a good flavor to it. I really liked my drink and while the place was clean, had good drinks and large enough for many big parties, it was a little too loud. They played a mix of electronic, hip hop and dance but the volume was just too loud for us to talk without yelling. I really liked this bar, the staff and they definitely know how to make a nice drink but I was looking for more of a lounge feel and this was too loud. I will be back for a good drink here just knowing what to expect.

Stopped here while wandering in Vegas. Bartender greeted us right away and we had the watapear drink. So good. The watermelon flavor was dangerously good. Mike and Danny were great bartenders and very entertaining! Stop out if you're at the linq.

Located in The Linq Hotel Casino on the famous Las Vegas Strip. Here we gave your standard Las Vegas casino bar. What's wrong with that you say? Not a gosh darn thing. This place is open to the casino floor, and you know what that means. Great people watching. So grab yourself a touch of the creature from their cocktail menu and enjoy the show.

All I remember was going through the casino areas of Paris Hotel, and then going down one floor to the Horseshoe area to reach this bar just minutes before closing on a Friday close to midnight. I quickly grabbed a seat at the bar area and perused the menu, which has a ton of drinks, beers, wines, mocktails and even snacks. Even when close to closing time, patrons filled up all the bar seating which isn't a lot; most seating was couches and tables near the knickknacks. I got myself the Bee's Knees, which is cranberry and pineapple juice, apple puree, cinnamon fire syrup and some ginger beer according to their menu just outside the front entrance. I can only describe the taste as a sweetened fruit juice with a ton of fizz from the ginger beer, and the pineapple and apple came out on top for overpowering the drink overall. Some mint leaves and a slice of grapefruit were added in, and the mint leaves made this drink feel more like a special cocktail. This and other mocktails is $13 before tax, so pretty high price especially when considering their other alcoholic drinks are not that much higher than that... I actually still loved my drink, though! It was a nice wrap-up for my last day in Vegas and I'm curious now to look a lot more carefully at the stuff on the walls if I ever come here again!

Sure, it is known; however, it was surprisingly not that busy for a Friday. We were seated at a shell like booth and this space between the back side of the Players Club and the Cash cage, is a lovely and elegant place. Is it expensive? yes. Most other fine establishments are also expensive in Vegas. It is what it has become. Is that good? Probably not; however, it does give you the opportunity to experience something unique and special. Although we had one server, the servers worked very well together throughout our 90 minutes here and really team assisted with each other. Between the two of us, we had three drinks. You can page through the very detailed menu, and I decided to have the Passion's Serenade drink, which was a glass partially frozen with a coconut and passionfruit puree and then also had some chocolate rum, vanilla and fresno chili. It was a delicious drink, and actually was a great "sit back and wait" drink, because it took a while for the frozen portion to melt. The experience comes with some complimentary bar snacks and then some complimentary mini jello shots on the way out. The check is presented in an exquisite "Vault" Type of book. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would return again in the future. Expect drink prices to range from about $30 to $70, with some even higher for the "market price" drinks.

The highlight of this evening was this hidden speakeasy cocktail bar inside the Bellagio!…read more Paisley greeted us as we entered The Vault and let us know that without a reservation we only had the option of seats at the bar. We've have awesome experiences watching bartenders before AND we were determined to stay so we happily agreed. Paisley was a delight to chat with as we waited for only 10 minutes while seats opened up for us at the bar. I also got to check out the restroom, which boasts a high tech toilet with automated opening/flushing and a heated seat! We had the pleasure of meeting Michael our bartender and Yesi the bartender apprentice, and regulars Bill and Kim from Texas on one side of us, and Mario from California on the other as we spent the next hour and half savoring one luxury cocktail each and some complimentary snacks (seasoned pistachio nuts, cheesy crackers, and a little amazing bite that I can't remember the ingredients of). Welcome complimentary drinks: "Key to my heart" -- fun little rum drinks to start off with served in a spherical black case surrounded by dry ice! (See video). A bit sweet for my taste but tasty and just a little shot's worth (to be sipped). Cocktails: La Vie En Rose: (5/5) Rose infused gin, house made strawberry infused sweet vermouth, aperol, orange essence. Gorgeous spherical ice cube with a real flower frozen inside). Described as a summer Negroni. I chose it because I love Negronis and am always up for trying a variation on a classic like that. The Fountain (5/5): bourbon, Punt e mes vermouth (55 year old bottle!), orange essence. The Vault's take on the classic Manhattan. Michael gave us a taste of the punt e mes sweet vermouth and it was sublime. Both spectacular cocktails were definitely made for sipping and savoring. And to top it off! Little espresso shots at the end....mmm delectable dessert my bites to complete a flawless experience. We'll be back! Michael is a masterful mixologist and Yesi is an awesome apprentice! Highly recommend!
