Harrah’s Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino stands right in the middle of the world famous Strip. The hotels that surround it are generally more expensive, more elegant and more sumptuous. This is a very good thing, because it means that the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino represents really great value for you.

The hotel has nine restaurants and cafes. The Cockeyed Clam is one great example. Here you’ll find New England-style offerings. The name of the restaurant kinda gives you a clue as to what to expect. Their clam chowder certainly needs a special mention, “…made with special herbs and fresh cherrystone clams flown in from New England.” And there’s more…

“…have a Martha Vineyard’s salad, prepared with Boston Bibb lettuce. And, there’s spinach artichoke dip baked with Vermont white cheddar cheese.

“All fried fish selections are hand-breaded with either batter made from Samuel Adams beer, another New England favorite, or Cockeyed Clam’s signature panko and cornmeal breading.” www.ieatvegas.com

You could also try the Embers. It serves steaks and seafood, and does a great job too. There’s also the Fireside diner with its Southwestern cuisine, seafood, chops, ribs, chicken and steak. And if Chinese is more your style, there’s the Ming serving great Mandarin and Cantonese food.
