Imperial Palace Hotel In Las Vegas

Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas is rock-solid, good value and she has a large race and sports book - written by my friend Kiki Kalor. It's is a destination for fun-seeking, budget-minded, adventurous travelers. Expect a party-like atmosphere. There's a Karaoke Club, Luaus, the greatest impersonator show in the world and Asian bars at this Eastern-themed, old-time casino.You can stay here and spend the money you save gambling out by the pool playing blackjack. Probably one of the best deals on the Strip price wise. Lots of repeat visitors. It attracts the adventurous. Rooms can be noisy unless they are in the back. Adventurers will like the Luau in the spring and summer, or the dealertainers who dance while making bets in the casino. Almost everything you do here can go on your slot card, and result in the reduction of your bill at the end of your stay. The Imperial Palace has dealers that entertain when they are not dealing black jack.

Need your Sports fix? Get your hunches over to the Race and Sports Book. With over 200 seats, free drinks, lots of TVs, this is easily one of the nicest Race and Sports Book's in town. It's almost as big as the Race and Sports Book at the Hilton which has 300 seats. Lots of action in the IP casino with the Marilyn, Elvis impersonators working at the gaming tables. It brings rollicking excitement to the casino in contrast to the statelier Caesar's and Bellagio.

Upgrade to a deluxe room or luv-tub room for a reasonable fee. Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas has some of the lowest room rates on the Strip. If it's summer, have lots of fun playing blackjack by the pool. Look on this site to get even lower room rates.

Centrally located on the Strip across from Caesar's Palace and flanked by Harrah's and Flamingo, Imperial Palace has a splendid location. It doesn't have the sky bridges that MGM Grand and New York, New York have, but it is still easy to get around. And the monorail stops here, which is good for conventioneers as it take you to the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino lights up the Las Vegas strip beautifully as seen in this picture taken at night. Restaurants vary, but you can't go wrong with Embers. It's the fanciest restaurant at Imperial Palace, and its prices are amazingly reasonable. Imperial Palace is an Asian-themed hotel, with a huge gold Chinese lion and Bruce Lee mirrored columns, though there is only one Chinese restaurant: Ming. It is good and not expensive either. I would stay at the Palace and eat elsewhere myself.

The Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas with its dead center location on the Strip, like Harrah's and Flamingo, gives you a lot of bang for your buck. There are lots of places where you can choose to dine if you include all 3 hotels.

Car enthusiasts will love The Auto Collection. While Vanaboding Vegas I've seen the show 4 or 5 times. It rotates since all the cars are for sale. Try to get in free with a coupon from any of the tourist magazines. You'll find other car collections at the Wynn and Caesar's. Imperial Palace is alive with impersonators. Find them in the world's greatest impersonator show: Legends in Concert. Not free but look for coupons in magazines.

The money goddess at the Imperial Palace Hotel auto collection. There is a 4-story parking garage behind the Imperial Hotel Las Vegas, NV, but I recommend Valet Parking at the front from the Strip. Valet Parking is always free and fast. The monorail does stop here. Slots can be loose and you get points on your card for nickel play here. Expect great cocktails. Race and Sports Book room is one of the best in town with free drinks there as well.

Imperial Palace is ideally located in the middle of the Strip right across from some of the best shopping in the world at the Forum Shops in Caesar's Palace and the free entertainment show, Sirens of TI at Treasure Island. Enter IP's Valet Parking from the Strip. But keep an eye out for the entrance, it's easy to miss. Continue driving through the carport and the Valet will take your car. It's free like most Valet parking in Vegas. Nice rooms with comfortable beds and hot showers. Staff treats you very well. Some guests like the first tower because the elevators are faster; but, be aware the noise from the band in Carnaval Court at Harrah's can go on till 3am. I always ask for a room up high in the back overlooking the pool. Also know that hotel rates tend to double on weekends and holidays. Book ahead as far as you can.

When you gamble here your dealer is likely to be Michael Jackson, Elvis, Marilyn or some other famous celebrity. Imperial Palace uses dealertainers, where the Palms and Planet Hollywood entice you in with dealers who are more like Playboy, Penthouse starlets. On or off stage, there's always an affordable show at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas.
