My husband and I just got back a few days ago from a 7 day, 6 night trip out to Vegas. We are not "big" spenders when it comes to gaming; however when we entered in our Total Rewards card # back in January, we were shocked to find that the Imperial Palace was going to comp us every night of our stay except for Friday night (a steal at $49!) We didn't hesitate to book the trip, though we have to admit we were pretty worried about what this "Free" room would be like. Previous reviews have given horror stories about room conditions, so we were more than prepared to slip a $20 to the front desk clerk if they were going to put us up in a Capri room, to try and upgrade. Turns out, we could not have been any happier with the room they gave us! 15th floor, simple but clean, with a fantastic view of the strip and looking right down over Harrah's Carnaval Court (which if you are not a heavy sleeper or like to go to bed before 1am is not helpful with getting a good night's sleep!) The water pressure in the shower was unlike any other I have ever experienced-nice and strong, and never wanted to leave the shower once I got in! Staff was very friendly, pool facilities were adequate but not flashy (and it is a bit difficult to find the first time around, consider yourself warned!) We had breakfast at the Teahouse and also at Betty's, both places did the job, but again nothing too extravagant. I would like to mention as an extra bonus to check out the poolside luau and show on Tuesday and Saturday nights-get reduced price tix from inside O'Shea's and you can save $15-$20 per person off the VIP package. We really enjoyed the show and dinner. Of course you CANNOT beat the location of this hotel! The only negative I would have to state that really ate up time, especially the morning we were checking out, was how incredibly slow the elevators were. Twice it took us over 10 minutes (no joke!) to get an elevator that wasn't packed to capacity. All in all, we would not hesitate to recommend the IP to anyone looking for a clean, friendly place to lay their weary heads and bodies down after a long day of gambling and walking. Better than we thought it would be!
