The IP has lots of character but be prepared for a smoky casino. The rooms are fine, highlight being the huge round tub that lives outside of the bathroom. It's definitely worth a try.

5 - Only for sentimental reasons. The IP was there for us when the dotcom blew up and left us penniless. The IP didn't care that we were too broke, Ippy gave us a place to stay mid-strip while we pretended that we were still rolling mid level. Fond memories of pissing away time and small change at the bar video slots before having to be carried up to our room will always be a hightlight of our early days in Vegas.

The only things Emperor Wang's Impotent Palace has going for it is 1.) Location and 2.) Value. The Mid-Strip location can't be beat (plus O'Sheas is right next door.). You can get very cheap room rates, sometimes even cheaper than Casino Royale. I stayed there back in 2006, the Deluxe room wasn't that bad (decor from a 70s porno), I just happened to be on a floor where folks were partying in their rooms (must have lost the money they earmarked for some ultralounge) so I never got a decent sleep the two nights I stayed there. As for the restaurants. Just say no! I made the mistake of eating at the Teahouse and the food was barely edible. You're better off hitting the food court over at O'sheas.

Great location and the deluxe rooms are not too bad. Tearoom is not that bad, but beware the Emperors Buffet, it could kill you. Definitely stay here again.

Yucky. Stayed in a "Deluxe" room that was crappy and dirty (stains on the carpet looked like blood). Harrah's music thumped all night, elevators were on Thorazine, hotel staff was rude and insulting, food at the free buffet was horrid. The cafe smelled like hotdogs.Dealertainers were fun to watch, cocktail waitresses were frequent and slots were loose. Still wouldn't stay there again, might visit to play only.

Imperial Palace is one of my favorites.

Oh my God!!!! This place is on here because, like prison, I can laugh about it now that the pain is gone. Jarred, Aidrianne and I and the only way we, drunk or sober, could tell we were in the right hallway was our smelled like piss AND vomit, as opposed to all the others that just smelled like pee. The I.Pee gets high marks for being so good at being so bad.

Old Style Vegas .. A fun place to play blackjack. And with the "Dealertainers", it's a can't miss for all blackjack players.

Dumpy with character, or was that film on the seats at the slot machine. Dealertainers are very interesting. Don't know who's what there. Would stay there, but not eat there.

Stayed at IP several times and always have a great time. Only complaint would be the slow elevators, otherwise great value for the money. Sentimental favorite as this was the first hotel I stayed at in Vegas.

Stinky, musty, funky. Mostly good qualities in my book, but the key to the IP is the value. Great prices on huge yet kinda trashy rooms. Luv Tub = Awesome

I stayed here for one night in a classic room. It was functional for sleeping and using the restroom. It wasn't dirty, just kind of bare. Personally, I like the gaming here. The Dealertainers make for a good time and it's some of the cheapest games you'll find this end of the strip.

The concept of Dealertainers is a really great idea. If you are going to lose your money, you might as well do it with a friendly, entertaining dealer. I tried the Rockhouse in the front. It's a rocking bar up to around 9:30, and then it does it's best to draw people in using formulaic house/hip hop. Mostly just looky-loos checking it out.

Not the nicest of hotels, but for the location and the price, you can't beat it. Stayed there back in March of '06 (Deluxe room with a semi obscured view of the Strip. I could see part of Caesars and most of the Bellagio) and did quite well in the casino, winning $500 on a penny slot (ended up donating $100 of it back a little while later at the craps table). The Teahouse is not very good, and leaves a lot to be desired.

I love the dankness of the dank!!! The MaiTai bar is a great place to enjoy some video poker and cold brew.

Stayed here a couple times. Cheap and mid-strip. Can be a fun place with decent cocktail service. Only place I've eaten is the cafe and it was only ok.

It's great location on the Strip and the value for the room make this a great choice for a "budget" trip to Vegas. Exciting casino and vibe. Only drawback.....S...L...O...W elevators. Just a thought. On the trip that we stayed at IP, our booking was messed up and so we had a room at Planet Hollywood and a room here for a couple of nights. It was nice to have a room at both ends of the strip to "freshen up" and top off drinks.

Stayed once in the Love Tub room. Check in and out was quick and easy. The beds were very comfortable. The large luv tub was nice. The center strip location is a plus for this hotel.

VERY WORN ROOMS, The Single Greatest Location on the Strip, Fun Dealers, Younger vibe in casino (frathouse atmosphere), Slow Elevators, Lousy Dining Options, Ask for Deluxe (renovated) rooms, Should probably be imploded, but is fun for unpretentious folks on a budget that want to stay on Strip but dont care about sleeping in a dumpy room.

Only stayed there because it was the cheapest strip hotel. Can't beat the location for the price.

Oh my god this place is creepy and there are rooms in the parking garage. we had a room with a strip view so you can look out onto somewhere you'd rather be staying. of course that meant that the Harras outside live band was right below our window. Just poop!

The place where I seen the great Terry Archer singing in a oddly busy lounge near the main casino entrance. Sadly this lounge is now turned into a poker room.. I hope you still out there singing you heart out and hitting the low notes Terry, I wish you the best!!
Without Terry Archer, I have no intrest in thiis casino. Although I did hear they have the Lowrider magazine convention here..
Im sure its days are numbered..
