Imperial Palace

The 75,000-square-foot casino here reflects the hotel's pagoda-roofed Asian exterior with a dragon-motif ceiling and giant wind-chime chandeliers. There is a Breathalyzer for voluntary alcohol-limit checks on your way to the parking lot (useful, since there are nine bars on the casino premises). The Imperial Palace boasts a 230-seat race and sports book, attractively decorated with oil murals of sporting events; the room is tiered like a grandstand, and every seat has its own color monitor. One giant slot machine is red, white, and blue; try singing the National Anthem to it, and see if you win more money. One kitsch feature of note is the casino's Legends Pit, where, on weekends after 6pm, celebrity impersonators aping everyone from Elvis to Madonna deal blackjack. This is also one of the few places on this part of the Strip where you might be able to find $5 table minimums.
