content: If you're looking for a cheap place to stay on the strip, this is it. If you're looking for a great place to stay on a romantic getaway to Vegas, look elsewhere.\n\nSince the Imperial Palace is being renovated, the taxi/shuttle stop is in the rear of the hotel. Depending on which tower you are staying at, it's a bit of a haul to your room when you check-in. To top it off, there are far too many people for the number of elevators... and the elevators are very slow. When we were checking out, half of the elevators weren't working. My girlfriend and I stayed on the 10th floor and opted for the stairs a few times (going up or going down).\n\nI used the express checkout, which you MUST take advantage of if you stay here. However, it took a while for them to charge me for my room. Being a good citizen, I submitted a form online to request my bill. I'm assuming they are just a bit slow to process credit card charges, but it's possible I could have gotten away with a free stay.\n\nThe room itself was as-expected. It was old, smelly/smoky (despite being a non-smoking room), and had a big \""Luv Tub\"". Our room overlooked the pool, which has a pool party from about 11am-5pm everyday. We habituated to the smell of the room on the 2nd day.\n\nOverall, the Palace is a good option if you are low on cash and want to stay on the strip. Personally,  I will pay a little more for a different resort next time I visit Vegas.
