The Zombie Escape Continues to Haunt Guests through Halloween Night
The LINQ Promenade was filled with ghosts and goblins for the annual three-day Halloween Celebration, October 27 to 29. Thousands of revelers turned out for live music from family-friendly DJ Miguel along with performances from The Droids on The LINQ Fountain stage. Face painters, zombie stilt walkers and a zombie LED drumline filled the promenade, entertaining guests until late in the night. Families filled the promenade on Thursday and Friday night for the annual “TRIQ or Treat” experience, as tenants passed candy. Casting a spirited glow over the entire spectacle, the High Roller observation wheel was also lit Halloween colors of purple, orange and green.
On Saturday, Oct. 29, The LINQ Promenade hosted an adult costume contest with $10,000 in cash prizes for participants 21 and over. This year’s winner came dressed to the festivities as a vampire bat. Second place went to the weeping angels statues followed by the Sanderson sisters from the Halloween classic movie, “Hocus Pocus.” Caesars Palace’s performer, Murray: Celebrity Magician emceed the event.
