Called the Flamingo Capri from 1959 to 1979, new owner Ralph Engelstad renamed the property Imperial Palace; Harrah's bought the hotel and casino in 2005.  In this photo, the Asian-themed Imperial Palace (predominantly blue) is to the left and the Irish-themed O'Shea's Casino (mostly red) is on the corner to the right. 

Imperial Palace at night as seen from Caesars Forum Shops on the Strip.  For several years after Harrah's bought the Imperial Palace, there were rumors that both the IP and O'Shea's were doomed to implosion--however, Harrah's has recently invested millions of dollars in upgrades to both and neither will be torn down.
