Summing UP: Is the LINQ kid-friendly?

The property's reinvention over the past decade has transformed the LINQ into a much more family-friendly hotel environment than its previous incarnations. On-site attractions like the High Roller and unfussy cuisine options are geared more towards families, and its supremely convenient center Strip location is within easy walking distance of many other child-friendly activities. The LINQ is well within most budgets and doesn't require extravagant spending for a good time.
