I'm always able to stay here for free due to my Harrah's total rewards card, and some trips, it's totally necessary. We were placed in a Deluxe Love Tub room, complete with a large hot tub across the room from the bed, and mirrors above the tub and bed. Creepy. The room itself was a decent size and the bed was comfortable. It was one of the nicer IP rooms I've stayed in, and it looks like there's been some minor upgrades. This visit was just fine.
I enjoy Imperial Palace's central location on the strip, it's so easy to go and hang out/gamble in the other awesome Harrah's properties. The casino itself is tiny and it's hard to breathe in it due to the cigar and cigarette smoke. Losing a lot of money here will make you reconsider living. Seriously, go elsewhere! At least you'll be broke in a nicer place! :)
IMPERIAL PALACE, PLEASE RENOVATE AND UPDATE YOURSELF! It's so sad here!
