Great stuff - thanks Paulie.
I"m booked in at the IP for a week from 2nd June. Is that a massive error? Or is it still a working hotel?

The IP is still there otherwise they wouldn"t take your booking. Be prepared for a fair amount of construction though. They"ve closed Rockhouse, that bar/club out front and also closed the entrance to vehicle traffic from the Strip.
The old poker room has been boarded up (AFAIK) and the poker is now held on the 3rd Floor (I think). The good news is that you can now access the poker room via that escalator from the Strip (that used to go to the Karaoke area).
Other areas of IP might be closed from time to time as work continues.
Here"s a couple of Vegas news sites that are pretty current on this sort of thing.
Vegas Chatter
Pulse of Vegas...a pretty amusing semi-official Harrahs Group blog
Vegas Tripping

Thanks Paulie. Looks like I"ll need a room high up!

All change at McCarran.
Come the end of June, the old T2 will be retired (pending refurb/demolition/rebuild) and the new T3 will come into use.
This is of note because everyone"s favourite airline (Virgin) will be switching over.
Here"s a preview courtesy of VegasChatter.com
What To Expect From McCarran"s Soon-To-Open Terminal 3

In case you were wondering what O"Sheas looks like these days.
In a flurry of rumours, it appears that IF the Imperial Palace does indeed get renamed, it will be called "The Horseshoe".
And "Yes" I can see where this could be going...given the previous reputation of the IP.
