text: Ok this old place is where you stay when the hotel you like all of the other newer ones are sold out That is what happened to us because Vegas is so jumpin right now that you have to book more than a month ahead if you want your choices in hotel roomnnYour experience here at Imperial here starts by FINDING IT The building is big by non Las Vegas standards but it is hidden off the strip by a small night club Maybe that is good You walk down an alley on the Strip where cars turn in for valet parking back a ways you come to the front door of the casino That is the easy way to get in supposes that you either started out homeless or hitchhiked to VegasnnIf you have a car God help you Yes there is a parking garage in back but even Google Earth cannot find it You have to creep down a dusty unmarked alley with all kinds of construction going on just eventually ohm in on where Imperial Palace is turn in If you find a parking garage with zillions of ancient pillars holding up the building above you are there but we did not even see a signnnGive your car a kiss when you get out because it may be a long time before you find it again No it will not get stolen Thieves cannot find it either It is just that this casino has been added onto so many times that it is just CRAZY trying to find your way around inside itnnThis place IS busy The rooms are very inexpensive for one thing A Classic plain room is running only about night during the week at this writing ours was clean comfortable about the same as Motel nearby where a similar room is right now You DO want this over that nn Daren C reported that his bathtub drain was slow So was ours I called maintenance later upon entering the room I found that they had come in removed the drain stopper which opens closes sat it on the toilet but the drain was still slow Did they snake it out Did they just say fit Is the whole building built wrong That is my guessnn There are bars lounges in the hotel restaurants including a BUFFET nn There is a Wedding Chapelnn There is a car show I will review it separately nn There is a big swimming pool on the nd floor all deep about degrees plus a spa with the temp set by attorneys to perhaps degrees at most but the socializing with everyday people from all over the world in there is great No you will not have to try to carry on a conversation with Mitt Romney herenn The pool area closes at PM WHATubf OnnImperial Palace IS conveniently located in the middle of the Strip action had thousands thousands of guests at the time I stayed there The casino like the whole place is sort of oldschool but I think it is an honest Stars all in all
