The Quad Resort and Casino, formerly known as the Imperial Palace
If you are on a budget but prefers to stay
by the strip, this hotel is the best value for your money. The Quad Resort and
Casino is a first-class resort centrally located in the heart of the fabulous Las
Vegas Strip.
It is just minutes away from McCarran International Airport and easily accessed from all
major highways. Everything you need for a complete
vacation is available right here and anything else is nearby because of its excellent location.
Caesars Entertainment has renamed this resort, formerly known as the Imperial Palace, into
The Quad Resort and Casino as part of a major brand renovation in September 2012. Both the
exterior and interior will undergo major renovations that are scheduled to complete by the end of 2013. These
include adding 15,000 square feet to the casino floor that will replace the space occupied by the former Imperial
Palace porte cochere, a nightclub, and a gift shop. It also will renovate another 20,000 square feet of the
existing casino which will be completed by the spring of 2013.
The second phase of the project will add another 30,000 square feet of gaming space, including a centralized
promenade bar. This phase is scheduled for completion in late 2013.The exterior facade, front desk and bell desk,
hotel lobby, retail promenade, and dining levels are also are getting overhauled including the building
logo.
The Quad Resort’s main entrance will be moved from the Strip to the north side
of the building. A pedestrian walkway will connect to the adjacent Harrah’s Carnaval Court to the south side of The
Quad Resort, then into The LINQ. The LINQ is Caesars’ $550 million retail, dining, and entertainment district
slated for opening late 2013.
The resort, including attractions such as Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas, The Auto Collections,
and the Hash House A Go Go, will remain open throughout the construction period.
The current Imperial Palace Las Vegas has 2,640 room hotel and a 75,000 sq ft casino, with restaurants and
other amenities on-site. The hotel and casino were owned by
Imperial Palace LLC until purchased by the current owner, Harrah's Imperial Palace Corporation a subsidiary of Harrah's
Entertainment.
From 1959 to 1979 the
Imperial Palace Las Vegas was called the Flamingo Capri. In 1979, it was renamed
to the Asian-themed Imperial Palace by new
owner Ralph Engelstad. When Engelstad died in 2002, the casino ownership transferred to the Ralph Engelstad and Betty Engelstad Trust. The casino operated
as its own limited partnership, Imperial
Palace LLC, under the Trust's oversight.
The property underwent a
major renovation in 1988 which added an 18-story tower, and eventually was purchased by Harrah's in 2005. The latest incarnation is its transformation into
the Quad Resort and Casino which is scheduled to complete by the end of 2013.
