Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino Fallen Flags Kenworth K100 DCP by First Gear Product Review

The Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino left a mark on the landscape of the Vegas Strip that still stands today, even though the name and theme have changed. They also owned a great looking show truck in the 70s and 80s that DCP replicated in the Fallen Flags series.

The Imperial Palace, formerly the Flamingo Capri, then the Imperial Palace, then The Quad and now The Linq is a casino hotel on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment today. It opened as the Flamingo Capri in 1959, on property located directly north of the original Flamingo resort. The Flamingo Capri was a 180-room motel, owned by George E. Goldberg and Flamingo employee Bill Capri.

Ralph Engelstad purchased the Flamingo Capri motel in 1971 and added a casino the following year. He built additional motel buildings in 1974 and added the 19-story Imperial Palace Tower in 1977. Engelstad renamed the entire property as the Imperial Palace on November 1, 1979, when a new casino facility opened on the site. The Flamingo Capri's casino was demolished to make way for the Imperial Palace's entrance, although some of the motel rooms would remain in operation for decades. The Imperial Palace was the only Asian-themed resort on the Strip. It was popular among middle-class and value-conscious guests. Long-running attractions included The Auto Collections, a car museum that operated from 1981 to 2017; and Legends in Concert, a show that ran from 1983 to 2009.

Engelstad added additional hotel towers from 1982 to 1987, increasing the room count to 2,637. It was among the largest hotels in the world. When Engelstad died in 2002, the Imperial Palace was the second largest privately owned hotel in the world, behind the Venetian resort in Las Vegas.

Following his death, operations were taken over by a group that included his wife Betty. Harrah's Entertainment (later known as Caesars Entertainment) purchased the Imperial Palace in 2005, for $370 million. The company considered partial or complete demolition of the resort, before deciding on a renovation instead. On December 21, 2012, Caesars renamed the resort as The Quad. The Asian theme was removed, and the property received a redesign to become known as The Linq Promenade.

So ended the illustrious Imperial Palace Hotel & Casnio.

Now why am I talking about a Hotel & Casnio?

Well, DCP released another Fallen Flags Series Truck that was based on a truck the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino had back in the day. Talk about cool. For the complete DCP Fallen Flags Series grab my checklist with the link below.

Also I do have a few of these left with another link below until they sell out. Now lets head over to the rock quarry and see DCP’s rendition of the Imperial Palace truck…
