My husband and I went to Vegas for his birthday and we wanted a moderately priced hotel right on the strip. The Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino fit the bill.\n\nGetting into the parking area is a bit of a challenge. The entrance is right on the strip and the pedestrians DO NOT STOP. You almost have to force your way thru with your car. Very scary and I'm glad I wasn't driving. But once in, we took advantage of the free valet parking and into the Hotel we went.\n\nThe Casino itself has had a major face lift and it shows. It still feels like old style Vegas and we liked that. Check in was a breeze and they let us check in a couple of hours early. They asked if we'd like an upgrade to one of the newly remodeled rooms for an extra $20 a night and we said yes. They gave us the King Luv Tub Suite and I really had no idea what this meant but was happy with a king bed.\n\nOur room was on the 3rd floor overlooking the pool. I was a bit worried because I didn't want to hear all the pool noise. Not a problem. There wasn't any. All the people at the pool were older (by older I mean over 35) and were calm and quite. We loved the pool area and it has its own bar. Very nice and spacious with plenty of seating for everyone. We were told that our room overlooks the luau they have and we would have great seats on our balcony. We didn't stay that long but next time we will.\n\nThe room itself was very large. We were taken back by the fact that the \"Luv Tub\" was right next to the bed and not in the bathroom area. And it is HUGE. I decided to try it out and it took about 1/2 an hour to fill up. I was able to actually float in the middle of it without hitting the sides. One drawback (for me anyway) was all of the mirrors surrounding the bath. (It is also the shower). Mirrors on two sides and the ceiling. I just kept my eyes shut. When you shower, the mirrors fog up and it is better. Some people like all the mirrors ... we didn't.\n\nThe bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in. One more problem for me was the mirror on the ceiling over the bed. YEP! This is not a by the hour place but it felt a bit like that. A call for more pillows was answered by a knock at our door a mere 5 minutes later. Very nice. Also, we got some room service and it was delivered promptly and by a very nice gentleman.\n\nThe TV was a bit small for the room but we didn't watch it much. I loved the decor and I've posted pictures so you can check it out yourself. \n\nThe elevators were a bit slow but since we weren't in any hurry it did not detract from our pleasant stay. I have to say that I would recommend this hotel. It has a pleasant staff and comfortable beds. We heard nothing from our neighbors so it is nice and quiet in the room.
