Imperial Palace. Never have two words meant such polar opposites to people, depending on what side of the globe they live on. To the Japanese, it is the elegant residence of the Emperor; a sprawling park like area with Edo (E-Doe) Castle as its centerpiece. Originally build in 1457, in the 1980s, it's value was greater than that of the entire state of California. For the record, that's real estate about the size of Disneyland. Also in the 1980s, the Imperial Palace came to be known as a hotel casino on the Las Vegas strip. Unlike its namesake, while inflation would increase the monetary value of the property, time would give it the reputation as one of the worst kept properties in the market, competing for the title year over year with Circus Circus. And just like the property it shared that dubious distinction with, Imperial Palace’s ownership didn’t care. Why should they? They knew exactly who their demographic was and how to cater to it and they didn't seemed to be complaining. Seeking the approval of those that looked down at their customer base wasn’t part of the business plan.

The Thunderbird is a property I've never paid much attention to, for no particular reason. I wasn't offended by it's Native American theme, that's not really my style. That being said, I will say the theme was about as interesting to me as the cowboy motif at the El Rancho or the Last Frontier. Being a child of technology, harkening back to a day when it didn't have anything isn't my idea of a vacation, it sounds like torture. One of the most fascinating things about Las Vegas is its unique ability to take things I normally wouldn't find interesting and make them appealing. The Thunderbird might be the perfect example of that phenomenon.
