text: This is a nice hotel if you want to save some money and get a cheap room and stay centrally located on the Vegas strip. \n\nThe $25 rooms were no frills. A 19\" old fashioned TV and a slider door out onto the deck overlooking the pool - and construction zone next door. No micro, coffee maker or mini fridge. Small pillows.\n\nOn the second morning we awoke to jack hammering next door on the Flamingo Hotel and Casino Parking garage. (see photo above) They were busting up the concrete and reebar roof of the elevator shaft next door with a hydraulic jack hammer attachment on a small excavator. Sure..... it was noisy and I'm sure the several hundred rooms that faced that side of the building around the pool could hear it also. \n\nUnder our door the same morning was a polite written notice in writing that fire alarm testing was beginning at 10 or 11am this day and not to be alarmed. It made for a memorable morning.\n\nThe entrance off the strip to the hotel was through a small hallway lined with more construction fence on one side and not well marked. Seems the buildings on each side of the Imperial Palace were being renovated and there were mazes of chain link fence to walk through. \n\nThe food in the Imperial Palace was great to not so great. The famed Hash a-go-go breakfast place up stairs was incredible. Great eats and amazing portions. I heard there were coupons given at other casino's for this Hall of Fame breakfast place but we did not have one. Lots of famous people have eaten there. Huge thick french toast and monster pancakes. \n\nThe Burger Palace upstairs was a little disappointing. It was rather busy and staffed by only two people. You had the lonely cook in the back who also changed hats and became the bus boy who collected the trays and emptied garbage out front. He then ran back to flip the burgers when he was done. The order taker gal up front took 4-6 orders and then would switch over the order filler and fill 4 to 6 orders completely while the line got longer and longer out the door and customers started putting on their not so happy faces. She was a flip flopper trying to keep up with new orders and filling orders that had been waiting for her singlehandedly to fill. I'm sure the comment box at this place is filled with \"hire more help\" suggestions\". The food was only OK at best but not over the top.\n\nThe Pizza Palace in the hotel sounded like a great place to eat. But don't plan on having lunch there since they are only open in the evenings starting at 5pm. WTF? Scrap your lunch plans there.\n\nThe lobby was crowed most of the time likely due to the cheap rooms. The dealer-tainers that performed in the lobby on the gambling floor were interesting to watch. On our travels in and mostly out of the hotel lobby we saw, John Belushi, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne and a dude who looked like Rick Ocasek.\n\nIt's a cheap place to stay and is no frills. Your not going to be there much so this place will likely do. The breakfast is the best thing about this place. Take the express bus to get around the strip. There is a stop not far from the hotel.
