| Justin_Cord's Full Review: Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino |
Sure, sure, Caesars Palace has talking statues and a floating bar that features giant goddess breasts, but does it have a buffet that contains all sorts of cheesy, fake Tiki stuff that looks like rejects from that Brady Bunch episode starring Vincent Price?
No, sir, it does not. For only five bucks or so, you can load up on Jell-O, the chicken du jour and get yourself refills of Coke until you puke, all under the watchful eyes of faux Polynesian gods.
If that's not enough, then you can check out a massive display of automobiles in the Imperial Palace's Auto Collection. Look for free passes; they're available almost anywhere. If you pay the five dollar entrance fee, then you can be sure that the employees are snickering at you behind your back. The car display changes, but it's a safe bet that they'll have at least one car owned by Elvis and one owned by Marilyn Monroe.
The Imperial Palace let me down in one way, though. Once upon a time, you could go into the bar at the "satellite" casino that fronts The Strip and get imported, bottled beer for only $.99! You could get a 12 oz. draft for only $.50! Then they got all hoity toity and raised the prices.
Oh yeah, and they have a casino too. It's okay, but when you play there, you feel like you're underground or something because it's so dark.
