text: This is a nice hotel if you want to save some money and get a cheap room and stay centrally located on the Vegas strip nnThe rooms were no frills A old fashioned TV and a slider door out onto the deck overlooking the pool and construction zone next door No micro coffee maker or mini fridge Small pillowsnnOn the second morning we awoke to jack hammering next door on the Flamingo Hotel and Casino Parking garage see photo above They were busting up the concrete and reebar roof of the elevator shaft next door with a hydraulic jack hammer attachment on a small excavator Sure it was noisy and I am sure the several hundred rooms that faced that side of the building around the pool could hear it also nnUnder our door the same morning was a polite written notice in writing that fire alarm testing was beginning at or am this day and not to be alarmed It made for a memorable morningnnThe entrance off the strip to the hotel was through a small hallway lined with more construction fence on one side and not well marked Seems the buildings on each side of the Imperial Palace were being renovated and there were mazes of chain link fence to walk through nnThe food in the Imperial Palace was great to not so great The famed Hash agogo breakfast place up stairs was incredible Great eats and amazing portions I heard there were coupons given at other casinos for this Hall of Fame breakfast place but we did not have one Lots of famous people have eaten there Huge thick french toast and monster pancakes nnThe Burger Palace upstairs was a little disappointing It was rather busy and staffed by only two people You had the lonely cook in the back who also changed hats and became the bus boy who collected the trays and emptied garbage out front He then ran back to flip the burgers when he was done The order taker gal up front took orders and then would switch over the order filler and fill to orders completely while the line got longer and longer out the door and customers started putting on their not so happy faces She was a flip flopper trying to keep up with new orders and filling orders that had been waiting for her singlehandedly to fill I am sure the comment box at this place is filled with hire more help suggestions The food was only OK at best but not over the topnnThe Pizza Palace in the hotel sounded like a great place to eat But do not plan on having lunch there since they are only open in the evenings starting at pm WTF Scrap your lunch plans therennThe lobby was crowed most of the time likely due to the cheap rooms The dealertainers that performed in the lobby on the gambling floor were interesting to watch On our travels in and mostly out of the hotel lobby we saw John Belushi Michael Jackson Tina Turner Taylor Swift Avril Lavigne and a dude who looked like Rick OcaseknnIts a cheap place to stay and is no frills Your not going to be there much so this place will likely do The breakfast is the best thing about this place Take the express bus to get around the strip There is a stop not far from the hotel
