| - For all the people hatin on this hotel, I have 2 words for you......3-Star
With all the 5 star hotels around Vegas, expectations are high & opulence is at the extreme.....level setting expectations is the key to happiness
We were looking for a cheap-for-Vegas, centrally-located hotel, that we would spend NO time in....I don't want to gamble in your casino; I don't want to eat at your restaurants; I don't want to swim in your pool; I don't want to partake in any of your entertainment.....I want a place to sleep
Imperial Palace fit the bill perfectly.
Were there huge lines waiting to be checked in? Of course, this is Vegas & there were millions of people everywhere - expect crowds wherever you go
Was there smoke? Hell yes - & every piece of clothing, whether worn or not worn, now needs to be washed to get the smokey smell out & we were in a non-smoking room but come on......Vegas allows smoking & it seeps everywhere - expect it
Our room was quiet, the bed was fine; the bathroom sink & tub backed up when running even the most minuscule amount of water - but again, this is a 3-Star hotel & we were okay w/ it
We even actually liked the labyrinth-like setup of the hotel - seemed like an adventure every time we went out & about
We're in the direct middle of the Strip; we're right AT the Monorail stop & can easily get to other hotels & venues & this was the main reason we came - to explore & trounce about & NOT to enjoy this Hotel's amenities
Imperial is not a 5-Star Hotel & doesn't pretend to be. It's a 3-Star Hotel so if you're expecting a 3-Star, you won't be disappointed ........PLUS, it streamed in 80s music all over the casino, the *entire* weekend which deserves bonus points for THAT alone!!! Its neighbor Harrah's was playing Toby Keith....nuff said
So for Sis & me, Imperial treated us just fine! A-OK!!
