The Imperial Palace name change marks a new beginning for the hotel which has been a part of Las Vegas since the 1950s. From 1959 to 1979, the hotel was called the Flamingo Capri.

Construction is already under way at the soon-to-be Quad, and the hotel’s casino is perhaps the most visible evidence of the changes to come.

The name “Quad” might seem a little odd at first, but in its essence means “gathering place.” The casino is getting a revamp and expanding, and the hotel’s dining area will be getting a complete makeover. Other makeovers and updates will be released further into development.
