This place isn't just disgusting, it's dangerously unsafe.
Dont stay here!!! This is to anyone who thinks they might be getting a deal for their money. This is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I dont care if their rates are low, they should still have a safe, clean hotel. The wall had a big hole in it. The bathroom was dirty with someone's hair still in the tub and the drains were clogged up. Smelled horrible. Carpet was dirty, had stains, walls had small spots/splatters of who knows what. Sliding glass door wouldn't open properly. Dirty glass, remote didn't work. Need I say more?!?
Upon opening the door, we were greeted by more dilapidated furniture, stale air and heavily stained carpet. Either someone had a crazy orgy in here before us- or there was a homicide. Needless to say- I waited until I got home to shower and I refused to take off my shoes.
p.s. The lobby on our floor (where the elevators are) looked like something out of a 70's horror movie. The wall paper was literally torn and held up by duck tape!! I wish I would of taken a picture of this.
It was free. That's what I kept telling myself.. the room was free for the weekend, plus its only for sleeping whenever you can fit that in.
I was looking for a good deal for my birthday stay-cation and I knew that we wouldn't really be in the room the whole stay we were going out to eat and also to nightclubs so the room wasn't really going to be that important. But I was so no expecting the room to be a complete dump...
DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.
Ugly: Its midwest tourists run amok in Vegas. When I went to the Aria that weekend walking around I couldn't help but think "people here are MUCH MUCH more attractive than at the Imperial Palace".
So, are there any positives about IP? It's conveniently located near major Strip hotels and casinos and attractions. Also, the show Human Nature is fantastic and worth a watch, especially for fans of Motown. Other than those features, if you're only looking for a basic hotel room to crash in, and you don't mind the questionable atmosphere, then IP might be a good choice.
This place is an absolute nightmare. Harrahs sent us free room nights and, unfortunately, by the time we called to book, the only place with openings was the Imperial Palace. I would never stay here again - I would much rather pay the $10 or $20 more and not feel like I was getting infected with who knows what...
I hate this hotel. I was forced to stay here for a bachelor party. This hotel is ugly, smells and really shows its age. I didn't like a single thing about this place. I have stayed at most of the strip hotels over the years and this is easily the worst. It is one of the cheaper hotels if price is your only criteria. Location is good - in the middle of the strip.
If you're looking for a "Vegas Strip Hotel" experience, this simply isn't the place to go. If you're looking just for a roof and clean bed, there are cheaper options just a block or two off the strip, and otherwise just as centrally-located. Hopefully, the construction will lead to them making it more Vegas glamour and less Indian res casino meets Motel 6.
The only reason anyone should ever visit the Imperial Palace is because their baby was kidnapped and being held for ransom in one of the rooms. And even then I would say to think twice.
So that's my honest assessment of Imperial Palace. If you're the type of person who won't go to a Motel 6, then don't stay here. If you are looking for a good deal and you're not picky, you'll be fine.
If you're looking for a hotel on the strip with all the looks of a murder-infested motel, Imperial Palace is for you.
