Was able to book a "Deluxe" room in the tower on a non-smoking floor. Room is decorated like a 1990's motel, and is rather dark as the only window is a single sliding door to a little balcony. The elevators have stained carpeting and are a little jerky, and the hallways look anything but upscale. But you can't beat the price. My room was clean and quiet. Was quieter than MGM. Slept well, although the mattress was not terribly comfortable. Nice iron & clean ironing board. My only complaint is there was no safe in the room.

We stayed at the IP Oct 30 - Nov 2nd, 2009. Now I read the reviews and kind of knew what to expect. I was expecting a crappy Motel 6 and that is more or less what we got.

At least the room was more or less clean. We arrived at 4 am so I just checked the bed for clean sheets and bedbugs and crashed. (There were no bugs by the way.) In the morning I saw some of the issues with the room. The patio door was very hard to open and close. Stained curtains. Tiny tube TV. No safe. The bathroom was worn and pretty clean though the wallpaper was coming off and there was mold on the top edge of the tub and shower surround. Who knew mold could grow there?? There was no lid on the toilet seat either. odd. The room is quite small and the bathroom is also very small.

Everything about this place is cheap though. Even the ice buckets are not regular ice buckets, but a cheap plastic bucket printed with the logo. There is not even a pen in the room, you get a tiny golf pencil to write with. Even the toilet paper is the absolute cheapest stuff available. The Bellagio and every other hotel had better TP in their public restrooms.

So if you want a cheap place in a good location mid-strip the IP is going to be fine for you. I would not stay here again unless I absolutely had to. We had some noise issues with our neighbors on Fri and Sat nights. I was expecting it though when on Fri and Sat I saw lots of college students and 20 somethings checking in. Their main luggage seemed to consist of cases of beer and beer bongs. So I knew we'd better stay up late cause it would be loud. And it was.

We did not eat at the IP at all and I don't think any of the places are good. You can find better food at other nearby casinos that is better and similarly priced.

I'm not sure when this place will be torn down or remodeled but it won't be soon enough. Even the Flamingo next door is a lot nicer for only a few bucks more per night.

Do not stay here - this place is flithy and even after changing rooms 3 times - ended up sleeping in my clothes. They wouldn't even do a refund for the cancellations on the rest of our reservations.

The parking lot is kind of a pain to find. When we went they were having an AARP convention so there was no non-smoking rooms left all thowe i requested one They upgraded me to a mini suit witch was nice. Some one on are floor ordered food to there room after eating it they wheeled the table out in to the hall were it was for the whole trip some one on the last day took the table and put the food plates on the floor next to the door. The smoke smell in the game room was bad. It is in a great location but after walking the whole strip from end to end there are a lot of better hotels for the same or even less money. The pool seams like a nomal back yard pool, nothing like the other hotels. For the first time ever going to vegas it was an okay hotel we were not in it very much. If you go to embers the fine dining place there two people can split a meal very easy. And if you are young like we are expect to be the youngest people there.
