text: Let me tell you a story about a casino being rebuilt and rebranded They closed down let everyone know that they were coming back better than ever next year and took their lumps knowing that the reward would be worth the effortnnThat placeis Bills Gambling Saloon It is not the QuadnnThe Quad on the other hand went another route rename the venue slowly renovate the casino portion of the building and then sit on their asses while the rest of the building falls apartnnMy friends and I stayed at the Quad last week as we were looking for a cheap place to stay while on our Vegas trip We stayed for five nights which is why we skimped on accommodations I do not know how the new owners get away with calling this place anything except the Imperial Palace the rooms are the same the carpets are the same the decor is the sameseriously the only thing that makes it worth even entertaining the notion of staying is Hash House aGo Go That restaurant is the only clean part of the whole hotel nnIf the new ownership group had anyone with a brain left in that place they would shut it down do a real and full remodel and open when the smell of cigarettes and urinal cakes finally dissipates Seriously the hotel is falling apartnnI was weary of staying there but the price swayed me I wish it had not For the love of all that is both holy and unholy in this world DO NOT STAY HERE Wait until the renovations are done wait for people to review the renovationsand then wait until the gleam wears off to see if it is still worth it You can go cheap almost anywhere on the strip at this point the Flamingo is cheap and pretty and right next doornnPlus what asshole approved to payouts for Blackjack Idiot
