| - My Stay at IP was supposed to be a "Romantic" Rendevous in Airport Code: LAS. This event happened in 2003.
It was a scorching Fourth of July weekend. I packed nothing but dresses and heels. Why I did not pack walking shoes I'll never know.
BigD lives in Los Angeles/Inglewood. We met in Cortina, Italy on a trip with the National Brotherhood of Skiers. He is a Snowboarder. After hooking up we decieded to have a long distance thang. This was just one of our meetings.
His birthday is in July....so this was a party and meetup all in one.
I called myself researching this hotel. He loves water, hot tubs so...I was looking for a room like that on the strip. I checked eOpinions, Travelocity, AccessVegas.com. The IP got decent reviews. A few scary ones i should have paid attention to. Caveat Emptor...... Buyer Beware.
I am no newbie to hotels either..... Here is some 411 on the IP
Imperial Palace is a 2,640 room hotel and a 75,000 square foot (7,000 m) casino located on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The hotel and casino were owned by Imperial Palace LLC until purchased by the current owner, Harrah's Imperial Palace Corporation a subsidiary of Harrah's Entertainment.
From 1959 to 1979 the property was called the Flamingo Capri. In 1979, it was renamed to the Asian-themed Imperial Palace by new owner Ralph Engelstad. When Ralph died in 2002, the casino ownership transferred to the Ralph Engelstad and Betty Engelstad Trust. The casino operated as its own limited partnership, Imperial Palace LLC, under the Trust's oversight.
Underwent a major renovation in 1988 which added an 18-story tower.
On August 22, 2005, Harrah's announced plans to purchase this property. The acquisition was completed on December 23, 2005.
During a conference call with investors on November 20, 2005, the Chairman for Harrah's, Gary Loveman, did not surprise industry analysts when he said that both the Imperial Palace and neighboring O'Sheas "are going to require very substantial modifications or complete tear-downs and rebuilds" in order to make room for a Harrah's and/or Flamingo expansion on the Strip.

A Roach...and not the 420 kind ran across my toiletry kit...YUCK..
The Comp package of Champange and chocolate dipped strawberries was laughable. I did not go to the Auto Musuem or see the Legend's Show. I did have drinks at the bar. I ate no food at this hotel/casino. Thank God.
The parking garage is scary. The elevators are slow. They should tear it down and start anew... The Polo Club is doing this. It is kind of dangerous as a pedestrian entering the Hotel/Casino from the strip.
I hated it hated it. Had some good SEX....sorry hotel maid....
Just Nasty Moldy and Funky.... I am staying at the Wynn next...
