| - Oh, the shitty, dumpy Quad. If it wasn't a Caesars Entertainment property and I wasn't a Diamond Player, I'd probably give it no stars.
I had a couple of stays here over the years, and I was pretty disappointed to learn that pretty much only the name changed, and everything else stayed the same from back in the Imperial Palace days.
Pros:
- It had to be one of the cheapest Strip properties available if it wasn't comped.
- Most of the rooms had balconies.
- It was right next to Harrah's, and the positioning of it was prime.
- There was a Hash House A Go Go on the property.
- Unique casino layout. A lot of the "dealertainers" were celebrity lookalikes and put on their own show.
Cons:
- Stains. Everywhere. Of every kind.
- One visit took switching rooms three times before I was finally able to be placed in one where everything actually worked, and housekeeping had actually been there.
- Although balcony rooms are usually awesome, sitting outside here was reminiscent of being in some type of far eastern prison. Lots of concrete and those old-skool windows with the lattice wire inside of them. Noise continually echoed everywhere. Neighbors two floors up and three doors down were constantly shouting at everyone they saw from their balcony, asking for money, cigarettes, and drugs until the wee hours of dawn. Nice temple/pagoda architecture though, kinda.
- The slowest elevator banks I think I've ever encountered anywhere, casino property or not.
- Huge lines and wait times at the front desk, even for Diamond and Seven Stars players.
- The saddest buffet I've ever seen in Vegas. Dark, dank, and I saw grease literally oozing out of everything. I couldn't see paying money for it, as it wasn't passable even being comped. Fortunately, I got spared without food poisoning or major sickness.
- Way back in the day, a couple from Missouri got held hostage in their room here by a criminal dressed as a hotel bellman, and the woman was unfortunately raped. Although things like this can happen anywhere, based on some other reviews here, it looks like more than one person has had issues with getting robbed in the middle of the night due to faulty locks and what not.
No offense to Caesars Entertainment, but this property is the bottom of the line for Vegas, and really shouldn't be in their property umbrella. Check other properties, especially if you're paying for rooms. Think twice about this place, even if it's comped.
