We stayed here for 5 nights over Easter break. It's an ideal time for visiting Las Vegas as the heat wasn't too oppressive (unlike August!).

The IP has a fabulous central strip location. It's a little bit tired, but for the money, I'm not sure it can be beaten! The room was big and light and airy with a comfortable bed and a small balcony with lovely views of the mountains at the back of the strip. When we checked in, we were given a choice of rooms and I would recommend one at the back with this view - much quieter!

The bathroom was a bit dark, but the shower had incredible water pressure - it gave a massage at the same time! An excellent start to the day.

The hotel itself was like a rabbit warren - get the wrong lift and you walk around for a while! Quite a few eating choices, reasonably priced - although in Las Vegas, you can go anywhere!

A great base, but could do with a facelift perhaps? For what we paid though, it was great value!

We spent 3 nights here in the delux love tub room free on comps & loved it. We had great housekeeping service every day. Fresh linens everyday. All staff was very friendly & helpful. Wasn't impressed with the burger place but spent most of our time out & about so found other places to eat. Check in was the only bad part of our trip. Spent about an hour in line. Would recommend to anyone.

We got a ridiculous deal through one of the travel websites and once flights were out of the way, the hotel worked out to $15/night! Split that between 4 guys that were looking for a launching pad for the party that is Vegas...and you can't beat a deal like that.
Anyways, getting to the useful information.
Check In - We got there at 9am on a Sunday...line up was huge and not moving at all. One of the clerks was busy telling every person that came to the counter her life story and literally in the time it took to get one person checked in...the other girl did three! So tried the old slipping the $20 bill in with the id/credit card trick...she didn't even take the money and didn't even acknowledge us when we asked if an upgrade was available. First time ever that has happened to me.
Room - Well...it was hotel room that I'm pretty sure looked the same as it did when I stayed there last time...15 years ago! But really, for the amount of time we spent there...it was perfect. There was a little deck to stand on while we smoked, the a/c worked like a charm even if it was a little noisy. TV was small but worked fine if you wanted to find out how to play Blackjack or something. Cleaning service was great and efficient, left us extra towels when we asked for them and even an extra garbage can that we used as a cooler.
Elevators - Brutal and slow...always packed around check in time and not a lot of room to begin with. When you put the four of us in it...there wasn't much room and we're not exactly fatty fat fats.
Pool - One pool and one hot tub. (hot tub in 30plus celsius weather? no thanks) The little waitresses were quick and seemed to know exactly when your drink was ready to be refilled...but look out man, when you're used to drinking for free at the machines/tables...it get expensive when you sign off on a few buckets o beer. Food was perfect for poolside. Burgers and dogs. Music seemed like we had time warped to the 80's but that was fine. Who doesn't want to hear a little old school Motley Crue when you're drinking in the sun by the pool?
Dealertainers - These guys are money! Not one of them would pass as the actual celebrity that they're impersonating, but to be able to stay in character while dealing cards...like when Michael Jackson does a little spin when the house gets Blackjack...too funny.
Nightclub - With your room key you get free access to the bar across from the lobby...it's worth a look but I'll say this. I've never been "hey baby"d by so many, um, working girls in my life in one location. Ugh... Decent crowd though. We were there Sunday through Thursday night and stopped in there for a while each night. It's always a busy scene and not as fru fru as some of the other clubs in Vegas.
Shuttle Service - To airport/Freemont/anywhere...non-existent....
Restaurants - We ate at the Teahouse on the first day after check in...and it's a lot like a meal you'd expect at a truckstop. Lots of food, and you walk away full...but it's not gourmet by any means. Here again, you get what you pay for and for the $7 I spent...I was satisfied.
Location - Perfect. Monorail is right there...Freemont is a $15 cab ride if you want. You're close to the Fashion Mall if you have to pick up stuff for friends back home.
I'd definitely recomend this place to guys that were going for a stag party and just need a staging area for the night's activities.

I'd post photos...but for this trip what happened in Vegas...stayed in Vegas....

That's the best thing about the place. It seriously needs an upgrade/overhaul.

When we reserved, we were told that the beds were Queens, but they were only full sized.

The rooms haven't been upgraded since my last trip there 14 years ago! The bedspreads were very worn.

With that said, the location is awesome. Also, please get some new entertainment - we saw the Luau, the car museum, and Legends in 1995 already.
