I stayed at the IP last week for a trade show I was attending at the Sands Convention Center.  I am not going to share anything here that the previous 85 reviews have not already said but maybe I can summarize.  \n\n-Friendly staff but in some cases understaffed.\n-Center Strip location.  Across from Cesar's, next to Harras and the Flamingo.\n-Monorail station attached to the hotel.\n-Older hotel.  Furniture and fixtures are from the early 80's\n-The IP does have an old, dingy appearance but from my experience it was clean.  Everything worked in my room. \n-Only a hand full of TV channels on the in-room TV. \n-Walking distance to the Sands Convention Center\n-Direct Monorail ride to the Las Vegas Convention Center.  \n-About half the cost of other hotels in the area. \n\nLet's face it.  You get what you pay for and the Imperial Palace is no exception.  I normally stay a places a bit nicer than this but on the other hand I saved $500 bucks over the five days I stayed there.  \n\nOverall It's a decent hotel in a very prime location.
