The former Imperial Palace (IP) sportsbook has been in a state of suspended animation since 2014.<\/p>\n

When Imperial Palace closed, the mid-Strip casino was rebranded The Quad for a minute, now it’s The Linq. Long story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The IP sportsbook sat idle for years, but like so many things in Las Vegas, is has now been demolished to make way for something new and shiny.<\/p>\n

We snagged exclusive photos of the current state of the future “DiscoShow” theater, dubbed the Glitterloft, at Linq.<\/p>\n

For the first time in recorded history, theater has triumphed over sports. Faith in humanity restored.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s helpful to have something to compare the current space to, so let’s step into our Internet time machine and see what the sportsbook looked like back in the day.<\/p>\n

We’d love to say we have fond memories of this sportsbook, but we don’t even remember taking this photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The gutting of the IP’s sportsbook began in March 2023<\/a>, and apparently the dusty features of the room weren’t bolted down too tightly, as the room is now completely bare.<\/p>\n

Here’s another exclusive look inside the Glitterloft at Linq.<\/p>\n

Few things are as exciting in Las Vegas as a blank slate. And lap dances. But mostly blank slates.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“DiscoShow” is set for a summer 2024 debut, which is a ridiculously long time to wait, honestly.<\/p>\n

“DiscoShow” comes from Spiegelworld, the company that produces “Absinthe” at Caesars Palace, “OPM” at Cosmopolitan and “Atomic Saloon” at Venetian.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the demolition.<\/p>\n
