Imperial Palace

[Augustine]

So, would anyone think badly of me if I considered the 2 nights for $39 at the Imperial Palace that I can get through Harrahs?

I never really considered it until I saw the price.

Ive stayed there before. Its OK, but not great.

Ditto. That's definately a place you only use to sleep, shower, change.

Ridiculously low price and a very good middle-of-the-strip location. Hotel is obviously not the best on the Strip, but the price more than makes up for that. Book it!

for the price you cant beat it being mid-strip.

Just dont play craps there...ooh, Im still mad at the dirty players and dealers who don't think girls know how to play...

[dnix]

I love playing craps there. (maybe its cause they dont let the rookies play)

[masterdeviance]

Played blackjack and craps there once since my friend was staying there. Felt like I was in some bad guys' den in a Kung-Fu movie. Kinda kitschy...and a little creepy lol

lol i was kidding. I still consider myself a rookies. I guess the 3rd leg just rules.

I know, I like to consider myself an "advanced" rookie. Maybe I just hit the wrong table on the wrong night.

IP? To stay in? To sleep in? For $20 more a night, you could stay at the Monte Carlo, NYNY, Flamingo, or MGM. I don't buy the arguement "I'm only sleeping there" - you should be comfortable and not feel like you're shacking up in HoJo or Motel 6. Take advantage of the lower rates at the mid-rated hotels.

^^ that's $60 in savings... nothing to scoff at!! (although I'm not one to talk..I've never stayed at IP)

you can easily NOT spend $60 in gambling

[dnix]

well the 2 times I stayed there it was free, and its a great location

Easier said than done! :P

I just stayed at Bally's (which granted isn't super great) but was upgraded to a suite.

I had a whirlpool, which I didn't use. A living room set that was barely touched. A TV that i'm not sure if I even turned on. I spent more time at other pools than my own.

I did use:
The shower.
The sink.
The toilet.
The iron.
The ironing board.
The bed to sleep roughly 1-2 hours a night.
Oh, and the lights. I turned them on a few times.

Would I rather stay in a nicer place or suite? Yeah. Do I really need to? Probably not. If you're on a budget IP has beds, bathrooms, and is on the strip. That's about all you need.

Then again, for how much I spend gambling, I should be staying in a lot nicer rooms than I do anyway.
