Supercharger - Las Vegas, NV (High Roller at LINQ)

[DDotJ]

I’m also a bit biased about the name. The parking says it’s for Caesars members while the parking is at the linq hotel. I’ve decided on calling it LV - The Strip, Nv on Supercharge Info

Well it's on Tesla's website now, they call it Las Vegas, NV - Linq High Roller Supercharger

On their website it says it's "up to 120 kW". Looks like they made a little typo

Geez, that's a big one. I'll use it. I guess the casinos will be happy to take away the rich Tesla owner's gambling money while the car charges

Now THIS is how you do marketing. Thousands of people are going to see this as they pass above on the monorail, right as they are looking out the window at the high roller. Well handled with PIN to enter, free <1hr parking, and free L2 chargers next to the superchargers. I hope we see more places follow this model. Nicely done, Tesla.

If you're using the supercharger, there's almost no way to even go gamble and get back in time to not incur idling fees.

Now, if you're using the destination chargers, with no fees, that's another thing.

Let's hope that is the case. Casinos will probably figure out a way around that. Up here in Reno, the Atlantis already surrounds the buffet with slot machines that we have to pass to go eat. It takes our car about 70 minutes to charge there, so plenty of time to feed the one arm bandit for the tempted traveler.
I wouldn't put it past those guys to install a slot machine at the SC

Hey, under 1000 miles there for you right now @Big Earl so you could be there in less than 1 day...

Don't wait till you get home...as I think it might be a little bit longer of a drive.

That would be an adventure in an X75D! We fly back to DC tomorrow afternoon.

The typo has been fixed. It now says "up to 250kW". As far as I know, it's the only station on the website map that indicates anything higher than 120kW.

Holy hell, how did no one notice this? It's in Las Vegas, has massive solar canopies, has 24 stalls and (from the picture) looks to be 99% complete? Not a single person happened on this?

For shame TMC!

Speaking for myself and the vast majority of Las Vegas "Locals": We almost never go to the strip. There are casinos that cater to locals "off the strip". The draw being: pretty good, reasonably priced restaurants.

Done thanks!

Also some new photos on PlugShare. On the first photo, you can see the cabinets that are located behind the handicapped parking Tesla chargers. If someone could take a closer look at them...

I definitely dropped the ball on getting all the technical stuff. After I watched the footage back I felt like I rushed myself... thank you for the insight I will definitely use it to make better videos in the future.

Don’t worry you did a great job! Lots of us remote curious people can’t get there in person and your video was very helpful!

If you lose it starts taking energy *out* of your battery

Thanks for the great info, I can’t wait to visit. I think Tesla should operate a blackjack table there, I would play for sure, just give me 3/2 and let me split Aces. Seriously with V3 I will have like 15 min max

Were those NEMA 14-50 outlets on the back side of the Wall Connector pedestals? The pictures from a couple pages back made it look like there were also 14-50 outlets there "just in case". Maybe they were some kind of disconnect. Definitely looked like an electrical box mounted on the back of the pedestal....

I've seen that some of the other V3 sites are getting signage to indicate they are 250kW. Wonder if these well get those too...?

Seems to me that they would have already installed them if the stalls were going to get the 250kW signs. Since all the stalls are 250kW, I don’t see the need.

I like the aesthetics better without the sign, but see how they would be useful if there were both V2 and V3 stalls present.

I wonder if you Valet over at Caesar and ask them to charge your vehicle, will they drive it over here to charge it? lol.

There are several places around the country where that is a thing (Los Angeles and New York City come to mind first). The question here would be can you specify which chargers they plug your car into? Cause that could make a difference.

Stopped by today on a road trip (lucky me!) in my MS and was getting a ridiculous 139kW for 468 mph at about 27%. Fastest I've seen.

Minor notes. People seem to have issues with reading / using the gate code. Also, traffic in that area is awful, especially with construction still going on. Despite that, it's an extremely nice SC!

No 250kW signage, but no stall numbers either. The cords are noticably cooler and thinner.
