My wife and I made our first trek to Las Vegas in October 2002. We chose the IP based on location and value. It was a great choice. Other than sleeping and showering we spent very little time in the hotel. The rooms were not luxurious, but served our purpose. It was clean, had a large bed and a hot shower. From there we were centrally located to spend time at the Bellagio, Caesar's, the Venetian, Treasure Island and many many more. We'll definately go back to the IP.
Pros: location, inexpensive, location
