This hotel was the Imperial Palace. It is exactly the same as the Imperial Palace, except that they made a few remodeling touches inside and outside of the hotel and of course the name change. It is still pretty janky and old, but it does the job.
If I'm on a budget trip, this is my go-to hotel. It is in the middle of the strip, great location, great price, and very convenient to go anywhere. Yes, it is dirty and the casino sucks, but you can always walk around to better hotels to hangout and gamble. I'm here literally just to crash and rest. Just get super drunk and you won't realize the rooms are dirty and smelly.
