Another iconic Las Vegas strip hotel is disappearing!

Caesars Entertainment said it plans re-name the company's Las Vegas Strip resort, currently known as Imperial Palace, as The Quad Resort & Casino.

Although guests will begin to see the brand transformation on property as early as November, the official conversion will be completed by Dec. 21, 2012 with renovation plans scheduled for finish by late 2013.

Interior and exterior renovations to the property are already under way. The renovations are scheduled to be completed in phases and will bring improvements to the exterior facade, porte cochere, front desk, bell desk, hotel lobby, casino floor, retail promenade and dining levels.

The IP has long been one of the lower priced strip hotels and it’s my hope that this rebranding doesn’t inflate the room rates.
