A vote deadline of January 16 for timeshare owners, however, came and went without word of a decision, one way or another. But, apparently, the squeeze is still on for owners at the Flamingo Hilton Grand Vacation Club as evidenced by a press release that went out yesterday:

Hilton Flamingo Timeshare Owners Urged to Vote in Easements for the New Linq Project in Las Vegas, Selling Timeshares, Inc. Acknowledges Opportunity for Hilton Owners

The press release goes on to tout The Linq as "dramatically transforming the face of the strip," offering a "fresh take on the many retail outlets in Vegas" and providing a "younger, more nightlife-oriented experience." (You like, yes?) And, is "urging approval" by timeshare owners.

We'll keep you up-to-date on the latest as we sniff it out. An interesting tidbit to note as well from a Vegas Inc article today on The Linq -- Greg Miller, Caesars’ U.S. senior vice president of development, is quoted as saying The Linq is "scheduled to open by the end of 2013." A change from the debut date of June 2013 that was cited to media when The Linq was first announced back in August of last year.
