Here Comes The Quad Resort & Casino Las Vegas Starting December 21
The infamous center-Strip resort formerly known as Imperial Palace will officially begin operating as The Quad Resort & Casino by Dec. 21, 2012, with renovation plans scheduled for completion by late 2013.
Interior and exterior renovations to the property are already underway. The renovations are scheduled to be completed in phases and will bring improvements to the exterior façade, porte cochere, front desk, bell desk, hotel lobby, casino floor, retail promenade and dining levels.
