Harrah's Entertainment has announced Project Link, a collection of low-rise restaurants, bars, and retail shops that will stretch between the Flamingo and O'Sheas casinos at center Strip.

Company officials characterize Project Link as an entertainment district, with a pedestrian corridor that will extend a block from the Strip back to the Las Vegas monorail, where a giant ferris wheel will rise 600 feet.

Neither the cost nor a timetable for Project Link has been announced, though it's contingent on financing, and analysts speculate that given today's credit crunch and Harrah's $20 billion in existing debt, it could be at least a couple of years before ground is broken on this one.
