content: There isn't much that can be said about the general nature of the hotel and casino that has not already been said: As KC D. put it \""Ok, here is where yelp might have saved me.\""  Exactly. Why did I not get help from yelp when I needed it?\n\nOr, as Tatjana G. put it it, \""Trashy people everywhere. Totally cheap, centrally located, adequate.\""\n\nThe first room we checked into (room 507) was so bad, we laughed our asses off. We were taking pictures of the late 70's decked out wall paper, bed, lamp, TV from the 60's, etc. I could seriously not believe it. We paid as much (through expedia) as we could have paid at the Paris, NYNY, or the Stratosphere. While those were not four star hotels either, they have to be better than this.\n\nThe bed was flat out broke. When you went to lay on the left side, you ended up on the floor. It was like a slippery slope down to the floor, not a bed. \n\nWe immediately called and asked for a different room. They moved us (at a $20.00 per night charge) to a \""completely renovated\"" floor, room 923. \n\nApparently, to the Imperial, a renovation includes new wallpaper and bedspreads. That was the only different thing about this hotel room. Same terrible everything else. \n\nAnyway, to wrap this up: There are many other places to stay in Vegas if you need to save your cash for the slots. Others will treat you better, not be smokey and terribly dated, and basically be less of a pile.
