The Imperial Palace is an Asian-themed casino-hotel at the center of the Las Vegas Strip. While this location is great, so are the nightly rates - and experts consider this hotel one of the best values among the Strip hotels. Besides a spacious casino and 10 restaurants, the Imperial Palace features two unique attractions: its famous car collection, which includes more than 350 collectable vehicles on display (many up for sale) and the popular celebrity singer impersonation show, "Legends in Concert." Originally scheduled for a six-week run in 1983, "Legends" was so successful that it has been held over ever since. Meanwhile, summers at the Imperial means poolside luaus and shows, but throughout the year, guests also can enjoy saunas, steam rooms, spas and a fitness center.
Decorated with pale wallpaper and cream colored bedspreads, guestrooms are furnished with cable TVs, movies, wireless Internet access, movies and video games. Refrigerators are available for fees.
Among the 10 eating options are Embers, for steak and lobster; Seahouse, for its seafood served in a romantic Cape Cod ambience; the Rib House, for ribs, chicken and other barbecued stuff; and Ming Terrance, for regional Chinese cuisine.
The new Las Vegas Monorail along the Strip also stops at the Imperial Palace, although many guests are close to every place they want to go. The moderately priced Imperial Palace appeals to vacationers seeking a great Strip location without breaking the bank.
