I stayed there with my Aunt. Based on what she's told me, it seems to be her hotel of choice when she's only flying out of Boston to Las Vegas for a one-night layover before road-tripping it to the canyons. When I was invited to a 2-week road trip with some family from the Netherlands, I was on board. I LOVED Bryce Canyon.
I didn't choose the place or even know where I'd stay until I reached Las Vegas. I was only at the Imperial Palace for about 9 hours, but that room was just AWFUL. First of all, there were only two working elevators when I went (some were under repair) and they were always so slow and crowded that you usually had to wait for the next one and reenact the awful circumstances of sardines in a can. The hallways are paved with the kind of tiles you see in a dingy old bathroom.. and the place (specifically the layout of the rooms) is so huge and poorly planned that it's almost maze-like. When you step out to your TINY balcony, your view is of trash.
I get that the location is "ideal," but even if I could get a room for as low as $30 at the Imperial Palace, I'd rather not. I've booked the Wynn/Encore/Venetian for anywhere between $130-$175 on Hotwire, the Treasure Island around $50-$75, the Hard Rock Hotel $40-$60, and the Trump $95-$115. Any one of those would suffice.
Location + Comfort = WIN.
Never again.
