LOL..... This is disrespectful to dumps!! The Imperial was beyond dump. I do miss the old days, though with the Imperial Palace and the old O'sheas. Bill's Gambling Hall, Barbary Coast, etc. That was a great collection of total filthy spots right in the heart of Vegas. Now everything is all nice/new and clean
I did like the Car collection at the Imperial Palace ( but getting there through the IP was interesting)

Ha!! secret is out! Drinks are crappy but they are plentiful. And I love their player card....last time I had comped White Castle dinner for 2 of us...tons of sliders and fries. And good foot longs in the back. Fun slots too.

I think I heard on a podcast, FHBM, that Casino Royale has got rid of all its table games and is now just slots.

Say it ain't so !! Last time I was there I asked where "Charles" was - BJ dealer - and he had retired after I think 30+ years. Great guy. I'd be pretty gutted to lose tables at that place. Well I guess I wouldn't bother anymore..

But I will miss the tables just based on ambience alone...i don't like feeling like i am playing in an arcade ...I like having table games around . Maybe because they have so few tables and now can only have 3 chairs at each it isn't worth it.

Had to cancel our July rez due to a change in plans (specifically because our kids camps got cancelled). I love craps, BJ and video poker but it’s not worth dying for. Hopefully there will be a vaccine soon so we can get back to decadence as usual. 😎

We used to play there all the time when BJ Switch was a new game and they were one of the few in town that had it.
Cool little joint. We would always use their comps at Denny’s and bring the haul back to TheHotel.
Casino Royale reminds me of Cal Neva in Reno.
used to mop his brow quite a lot.... had a wicked dry sense of humour !

We're thinking of going, but only to have a pool and cabana to make up for not being able to go to Hawaii. Wouldn't gamble.
