 | |  |  | Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino: Cheap Alternative on the Strip
Tip Rating:   Satisfaction: |  |  | |  |
Known affectionately by the Vegas regulars as IP, the Imperial Palace is a cheap alternative to the mega resort hotel / casinos on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s one of the older properties still left in this area and I probably in need of a bit of updating. Regardless, this hotel always fills up quickly on the busiest weekends in Las Vegas because it’s so affordable. If money is your concern and you’re only looking for a place to rest your head for the tow or three hours your planning to sleep during your stay you might want to check out IP. I must admit that I haven’t yet stayed here, although I have considered it, so it’s only circumstances that have kept me away, therefore I can’t comment on the quality of the rooms. I have, although, spent time in this casino. The table limits here are some of the lowest on the Strip so if you’re a novice gambler you might want to spend an evening here. It’s easy to make friends with the Pit Bosses and dealers, they’re more than helpful here. The casino, like the rest of the hotel, is dated but the low stakes keep people coming back.
Low table limits and cheap rates keep this Vegas institution in business. Leave a Comment

| | | | Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino: IP - Great Location - Basic Quality
Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
The Imperial Palace (IP) is a small older (i.e. pre-1990s) hotel & casino with a great location on the Strip. In comparison to the mega-casinos that make the Strip famous, it is definitely lower quality. However, on its own, it is an adequate place for an active time in Las Vegas. It is situation about in the center of the Strip across from Caesar's Palace. The location coupled with the price is a major attraction.
The rooms are moderately furnished with furniture popular on the set of "Miami Vice" and can look a little drab. My room was not dirty or falling apart nor unsafe. Although some rooms are said to have views, mine had a view of the wall and window of the room next to mine. Cleaning service was done nicely without any concerns. Think about it...you don't go to Vegas to spend the time in your room.
The casino itself is small and cramped in someplaces. The most fun thing about the casino is the "Dealertainer" section in the middle (you cannot miss it at night). This is the section where they have celebrity impersonators/look-alikes (some really don't looke like their counterparts) dealing the Blackjack tables. They will take turns singing and performing (lypsyncing). Although it is a bit kitchy, it adds a bit of zanny fun.
I really didn't eat at the restaurants, so I will not comment on them. I did like that you could earn comp $$ to put towards your room, gifts, or food in the hotel.
This place continually gets criticized for its level of quality and some of may be warranted. However, much of that criticism is based on comparison to other glitzy places. I think that it is a good place to stay if you are going for a quick weekend, especially if you want to save $$ and spend little time sleeping. If you are looking for something nicer without crushing your gambling budget, the New York, New York & Treasure Island are definitely good. Leave a Comment
