text: This hotel would be one of the greatest value finds in history except for the wreak of the smoke and little ventilation throughout the lobby and casino floor. I am currently staying here for a 5 day convention and I'm on day 2 and have some of the worst nose and eye issues going on. Even though I'm taking ample allergy medicine, the stuffiness and poor ventilation of this casino is killing me. All other casinos, even though they permit smoking, do not smell anything close to Imperial Palace. It feels like you enter a jungle with the humidity and lack of oxygen once entering the hotel from the monorail. Extremely stuffy warm, and you can almost feel the invisible cloud of smoke hovering above you. I really wanted to be wearing one of those masks the people in China wear. My clothes wreak of smoke and I have to shower before I go out again after walking through the casino each time. \n\nThe lighting inside the rooms is poor with 3 small table lamps and there's only 2 extra sockets total for your computer or cell phone charger. The in-wall A/C blows nice and cool which is a great and also helps to filter out some of the outside noise since it has a pleasant hum.\n\nOn a positive note, the price of the rooms are super cheap and if they found a way to clean up the terrible smoke smell and improve the ventilation this could be one of the best deals in down. It's proximity is A+ right by Harrahs and the Flamingo, but because of the nasty smoke, if I ever come to Vegas again I will not stay here. \n\nService and staff is very friendly and accommodating and they have cheap entry table games.
