Imperial Palace is a 2,700 room hotel and a 75,000 square foot (7,000
m²) casino located on the
Las Vegas Strip in
Las Vegas, Nevada. The hotel and casino were owned by Imperial Palace LLC until
purchased by the current owner,
Harrah's Entertainment.
History
From 1959 to 1979 the property
was called the Flamingo Capri. In 1979, it was renamed to the
Asian-themed Imperial Palace by new owner
Ralph Engelstad. When Ralph 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.
Underwent a major renovation in
1988 which added an
18-story tower.
On August 22, 2005, Harrah's announced plans to purchase this property. On
December 23, 2005, Harrah's announced it had completed the acquisition.
During a conference call with investors on
November
20, 2005, the Chairman for Harrah's, Gary Loveman, did not surprise industry
analysts when he said that both the Imperial Palace and neighboring O'Shea's
"are going to require very substantial modifications or complete tear-downs and
rebuilds" in order to make room for a Harrah's and/or Flamingo expansion on the
Strip.

The casino is particularly notorious for its outdated ethos and decors.
