Caesars Forum Convention Center To Connect to Linq | Eater Vegas

"Planned as a 550,000-square-foot expansion, I learned the Caesars Forum will be conveniently connected to The Linq, Harrah’s, and Flamingo resorts and is pitched as hosting the “two largest pillarless ballrooms” in North America; it will be built in the parking lot behind The Linq and the High Roller, stretching toward Koval Lane. A walkway over Linq Lane will link guests to the retail and restaurants at The Linq Promenade, and a covered sky bridge will let conventioneers quickly travel directly to Harrah’s, The Linq Hotel, and the Monorail. Featuring a glass design, the space will place special emphasis on “natural light” and a “neutral pallet” to enable temporary branding opportunities. The venue is comprised of two 108,000-square-foot grand ballrooms and two 40,000-square-foot junior ballrooms and also offers a permanent 100,000-square-foot outdoor Forum Plaza for cocktail receptions, sessions, and meetings; it is already being promoted as a novel location for breakfast, lunch, and to “dazzle your attendees with an extravagant dinner under the stars.” The project expected to break ground in the second quarter of 2018 with hopes to debut in 2020." - Bradley Martin
