The Quad Resort and Casino, formerly known as the Imperial
Palace Las Vegas
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.
