The Promenade is an open-air dining, retail and entertainment district on the Strip between the Flamingo and Linq hotels, which caters to young tourists and millenials, according to general manager Shaun Swanger.
Fly Linq is a $20million investment and is being developed by Xventure LV.
Also working on the development is the company behind the High Roller – themed Development Management, which is out of Simi Valley California and has worked on similar projects.
Ticket prices haven’t been decided on yet, but could come as part of a package deal with other Caesers attractions, Swanger told the Review-Journal.
Adventure attractions like Fly Linq have gotten more popular in recent years, and now people who come to gamble can also visit shooting ranges or even drive exotic cars.
Swanger said a zip line seemed like the logical next step because it will appeal to tourists looking for an exciting yet quick attraction.

Visitors will take an elevator in the Linq Hotel, which will bring them to the top of the 122-foot launch tower.
There they’l get outfitted with a harness that will allow them to ride in a seated or flat position.
Once they’re launched they’ll zip for 1,080 feet, headed east along the shopping center towards the High Roller. They can then dismount on a platform at the end of the ride and leave through the building.
According to Swanger, the whole thing should take no more than 30 minutes.
Fly Linq isn’t the only new project in store for the area.
Caeser executives revealed plans to build a conference center in the area east of the Linq Promenade during a conference call with investors this month, according to the Review-Journal.
