content: Chances are you've found this review because you've looked up prices for hotels in Las Vegas and Imperial Palace was the cheapest. That's what I did. I ignored the reviews because it was cheap and I just needed a place to stay. You could sum up Imperial Palace much the same way:  it's cheap and it's a place to stay. \n\nIf you're looking for luxury during your trip to Vegas, check elsewhere. Anywhere else. There are nicer rooms at hotel chains like Motel 6 than there are at Imperial Palace. This is an old casino that has seen a lot of traffic. The carpets in the hallways smell like smoke, the furniture has stains, and the amenities are sparse. My wife and I stayed in a room where the bathroom tub didn't drain, a common complaint among reviews. Someone came up to our room to \""fix\"" the problem which was just to take the  stopper out of the tub entirely. It was a cheap fix but it worked, so there's that. \n\nHowever, the location is beyond ideal. You're smack-dab in the center of the strip and you can easily stumble home after a night's partying. Just be warned that the parking is absolutely terrible so once you do manage to get your car parked, you are going to want to keep it in the garage for the majority of your stay. If you're just planning on walking the strip though, this isn't a problem at all. Another word of warning:  do not try to check-in beyond 7PM. You'll be waiting for hours.\n\nBottom line:  stay here if you just need a room and don't want to spend too much money. Personally I'd spend the extra cash and get something nicer.
