Advantages: Location, price

Disadvantages: Structure, lack of a real theme

If you hadn’t already guessed it the Imperial Palace is based on an oriental theme – no, really. Of the three hotels that I’ve had the pleasure to stay in during my holiday to Las Vegas then I must say that the Imperial Palace was the worst.

My use of the word “worst” may indicate that I didn’t like the place at all. Actually it is far from the case. The rooms were well decorated and colourful, if a bit on the small side, and were clean and tidy. However, when you’re talking Las Vegas then you’re talking extremely high hotel
standards. Perhaps I should have described The Imperial Palace as the least good rather than the worst.

The Imperial Palace cannot be faulted as far as location goes. It is located bang right in the middle of The Strip. Location is an extremely important factor for hotels in Las Vegas and is a major selling point. Fortunately the
Imperial Palace won’t cost you a fortune but the prices will be fairly low at most times of they year.

The most disappointing aspect of the Imperial Palace is the orientation and layout of the hotel. It gives the impression that it wasn’t big enough and so had to expand but the extension has been conducted in a very unorganised
manner. It just seems as though they decided the initial hotel wasn’t large enough and so decided to add another “bit”. But as the years passed the hotel still wasn’t big enough and so the extended it by adding another
section. This expansion may well be very practical but it simply makes the Imperial Palace seem rather inconsistent and adds to the general actual lack of the oriental theme usage.
