I've never stayed at the Imperial but I have definately done my share of gambling there. It's definately the best value on the strip and full of character. In my drunken stupor I recall being serenaded by impersonators and am told that the dealers/impersonator break out in song every once in awhile. The best is the ice cream shoppe in the back of the casino, that's a MUST!
This hotel is in dire need of renovations and I heard rumors that they have huge plans, but that was years ago. However, it hasn't changed a bit since the last time i was there.
