What is the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas like?
The good points is that it is cheap there is monorail service in the back, The rooms are ok for the price. It is right in the middle of all the action. There is club right in front that doesn't make you wait an hour to get in.





The bad points. It's one of the older casinos on the strip, the pool is not that good. The casino is small and smokey. The elevators are extremely slow (but there are some elevators in the back of the hotel that no one uses much which are much quicker)





You don't spend to much time in your room, I didnt' do to much gambling at the casino while I was there, just wasn't much fun for me and my friends. Good thing about it being in the middle of the strip you are close to a lot other casinos to gamble at and the outdoor attractions are not that far.
Reply:I personally like the Imperial Palace - I am kinda bummed that they are taking it down. It's a cheap room, but it is in a prime location. And the cost is not bad - Granted, I would not go there for some romantic getaway or anything - Imperial Palace is a great hotel for Girls or Guys trips to vegas where you are only going to need the room to sleep, shower and get ready - Plus they have balconies on each room and you get some crazy girls gone wild parties on the balconies! I love it!
Reply:We didn't stay there but next door at the Flamingo. The Imperial is perfectly sited in the heart of the strip and offers one of the best " budget" shows in Legends in Concert which is well worth seeing. The casino isn't great but if you go to Vegas to gamble i dare say you will want to go to loads of casinos not just the one in your own hotel. All in all its a cheap room in an ideal spot but i would question why anyone would want to go to Las Vegas for more than 3 or 4 days unless they are a professional gambler. If you havn't booked it already take a good look at escaping Las Vegas for at least a week and head off to the real USA and visit the Grand Canyon and somewhere like Flagstaff or Sedona in Arizona. Have a good trip.
Reply:Stayed there 3 times, it is very well situated on the strip great for the Monorail. Sure it is one of the older ones, BUT who goes to Las Vegas to sit in the room, it really is only a place to sleep. I found it clean and that is important. Have fun
