So I have read about the renovation of the Imperial Palace into something new and worthy of staying. Also, I had cheap on the mind. Well, I struck out by picking The Quad as my choice of casinos to stay on my latest trip to Las Vegas. I should have done more research. The room I stayed in was just a regular room. The air conditioning/heating unit was so loud that I had to go and buy some ear plugs or run the thing when I was out of the room on the coldest setting and turn it off when I wanted to sleep. The TV was a 30 or 24 inch tube TV. Very cheap. Also, my room was the farthest point away from the ice machine. It literally took me about 10-15 minutes to walk to the ice machine and back. The elevators was so dirty that it smelled. Also, if you had to walk through a smoking room level, you could barely breath. The worst thing was that I arrived at the Quad on a Sunday night around 9:45 pm. It took the front desk 1 hour to check me in. The line was short when I got in it ( it was about 40 people deep). When I left it had to stretch to about 100-120 people. YIKES!!! Also, there was construction going on during my stay. On the last day that I was there, all the gaming machines were removed from the floor. So I guess if you wanted to gamble you had to leave your casino and head next door to the Flamingo or to Harrah's or Casino Royale.  The elevators in the parking garage were so filthy that I felt like I had to take a shower or drench myself in hand sanitizer after using them. So I tried using the stairs once and that might have been worst. It smelled of urine. \n\nI don't even know where the pool for the Quad was at or if it was even worth going to. All the decor inside the casino was still the old Imperial Palace. The only good thing that I can say about the Quad was that Hash House A Go Go is located inside of it. The Quad is going to have to prove to me when the construction is done that it is worth another stay. Otherwise, when I head to Vegas on my next trip, I will stay some where else.
