Oh my, why did I stop here? Somehow I got trapped in the Imperial Palace, surely the ugliest casino hotel on the Strip. I had it in my head that maybe it would be a tribute to the classic Frank Lloyd Wright hotel in Tokyo that was mostly demolished forty years ago. But no, it's just a faux-Japanese facade covering an old-style hotel that looks like it lost its bloom sometime in the 1960's. The Burger Palace caught my eye on a promising banner, and I was feeling peckish after changing hotels in the morning. I thought it would be one of those gourmet burger places with all the trimmings. Nope, it's a fast food joint with little imagination. Just a lot of sports murals and teal-colored booths that are a bit of a squeeze for us girth-challenged diners. Perhaps that was their subliminal message to stay away. I should have listened as I had a particularly greasy cheeseburger and fries for about $8.75. It came with a lemonade which would have been fine had I ordered it. I spent a good three minutes arguing with the snippy counter girl that I ordered a Diet Pepsi. All in all, I would have preferred having a Big Mac down the block. FOOD - 2 stars...burger had heft, but it was mostly made of grease AMBIANCE - 1.5 stars...fast food at its lowest common denominator SERVICE - 1 star...really surly, but that must be the drawback of wearing a funny paper hat TOTAL - 2 stars...they are lucky I feel charitable toward them given the ugly, dated hotel they are in
