Influence The Pool at The LINQ

I recently hit up the pool bar at the LINQ and had an experience that left me scratching my head. Now, I get it--drinks at a place like this aren't going to be cheap. The bartender even gave me a heads-up that one drink would set me back $35. But here's the thing: when you're dropping that kind of cash, you expect a certain level of quality, right? Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here.The drink came without a single garnish. No pineapple wedge, no cherries, nothing to make it look even remotely decent. I ordered a frozen piña colada, and what I got was basically syrup that was already half-melted. Sure, the drink was tasty, but it was served in a crappy plastic glass with their brand slapped on it.For that price, I expected way more in terms of presentation and quality. The lack of attention to detail was a real letdown, and the whole experience just didn't match the premium price tag.

Stopped by on a hot Vegas day. There's a large pool and a smaller one. Amenities include towels and pool lounge chairs. However, all the lounge chairs were occupied and the beds that weren't occupied were available to rent. On a weekday afternoon they were $120 to rent with an additional $120minimum expenditure on food/drinks. The person I was speaking to said she could reduce the food/drinks expenditure to $80 since I told her we just came from a BIG lunch. I mentioned that I might just come by the next day in the morning and rent it so I could lounge around all day, and she mentioned that the next day the pricing would be different. The drinks were extremely overpriced. I had a tequila seltzer and my friend had a frozen margarita, they were both priced around $35 not including tip. The frozen margarita was pretty good.

We were staying at The Linq and the weather was warm, so obviously a trip to the pool was necessary! We checked in with the staff at the entrance and it was a breeze. They have sunscreen for purchase and complimentary towels available before you head out.It was a little earlier in the day, around 11, but the pool party was already in full swing with blasting upbeat music and lots of people lounging in and around the pool. Definitely a fun vibe.We headed straight for the bar and stayed there the entire time, basically. We ordered a couple drinks each and it was expensssiveee which I guess shouldn't have been a surprise, but it was a little! The only complaint I have really is that there is next to no seating if you're not looking to rent a lounge chair. They have private cabanas and larger areas to rent which definitely makes sense, but the daybeds/lounge chairs should be first come, first serve IMO. We still wouldn't have gotten one because we were there two hours after the pool opened, but I feel like that makes way more sense than forcing everyone to sit on the edge of the pool or at the bar.Decent pool size as well and has a cool view of the High Roller.

Love staying at the Linq, great location. Part of the reason I enjoy it is because I like the young atmosphere of the pool. It's much cheaper than anywhere else on the strip to get a cabana or day bed. Always enjoy my time there.

Cannot give enough praise to how this pool is run.Ryan and his team make everyone feel so welcome from the reception staff to the cleaners making our experience such a fun one.Special thanks have to go to the non stop waitresses especially Corinne who looked after us over our two week vacation and Maggie and her co workers behind the bar and Kayla and Ryan keeping the everything funning smooth.Can't wait to come back next year.

The pool itself is pretty nice. The cabanas are ok, the furniture looks a little worn. The wait staff and security were excellent!! Corinne our waitress went above and beyond to care for us. We never thought "where is our waitress, I need a drink". Prices were high on the drinks but what do you expect, your at a casino pool. over all had a real good day.

3.5 Stars.Food and drinks are overpriced... I get it. It's Vegas. But $50+ for a bucket (5) beers or seltzers. Cabanas are good over priced as well. If you're staying multiple days and plan on chilling at the pool for them; get a cabana room. You have your own personal cabana and get drink your own drinks. DJ is okay... played some weird mixes of songs. Still a good pool and good vibe. Prices just make it hard to make it enjoyable.

Our experience at the Influence Pool suited what we wanted perfectly. We were just looking for a relaxing pool with lots of shade and our own space. For just $25 more, we were able to reserve a relaxation cabana rather than daybeds and it was worth it! The cabana included two couches, two towels per person, TV, surround sound speakers, and lounge chairs directly in front of the cabana. It was more than enough room for the two of us. Up to six people are allowed but I feel like 3-4 people would be perfect. There is a mirror on the opposite side of the TV so you can sit on either side with a TV view. During our visit, the bar was not serving food. They said we could order food from the BBQ place next door that has direct access from the pool or we could bring up any food from downstairs. It was pretty mellow on a Wednesday morning but picked up later in the afternoon. The music didn't really fit the morning vibe. I felt like relaxing music would be perfect in the morning for those who just want to relax in the sun before the crowds but it's Vegas. Prices do fluctuate throughout the month/week so be sure to keep an eye on that. Weekend reservations can fill up quickly so be sure to plan ahead. There are larger venues with more of a club feel but if it's your first Vegas pool experience, I do recommend checking out the LINQ pool!

Great place to relax, but it close me early. Well at least for me it would be nice to take a night dip. DJ spinning tunes from open to close. May been COVID hours. Get there early for a nice spot and within hours it's poppin with people. Don't leave your ID in the room.

No outside service at All in our Cabana room. We had the flag up for well over a hour!! Not one person come by to take our order. We had to go to the bar to order drinks and food. The bartender was awesome but not the point of having a cabana room if your not going to get service! We didn't even see one server walk by our cabana. Very disappointing!!
