The Long Version:
The Quad has gone through a lot of changes over the years. When it first opened in 1959 it was called the "Flamingo Capri." Later in 1979 when ownership was handed over to Ralph Engelstad, the hotel took on an Asian theme and was renamed as the "Imperial Palace." In 2012 it was again renamed "The Quad," and in a few months from now on October 30th, the hotel will be renamed a fourth time as the "Linq Hotel & Casino." Since around 2005 they have spent millions of dollars in refurbishing the casino and hotel rooms so although the hotel itself has been there for a long time, it still does a good job keeping up with the newer hotels coming out.
The area around the Quad is also really nice. It's in a good location on the strip, kind of towards the middle so nothing is too terribly far. The Linq also has great shopping available and interesting art and architecture. There's also the newly added High Roller which is fun as well. Locals get a 2 for 1 special on Tuesday which I highly recommend. The price of the cheapest rooms are about $150 per night for 2 people putting it in the moderately priced bracket, but the price is worth it given quality of room and what is available to you right outside the hotel.
The Short Version:
Old hotel but it is well maintained keeping it feeling new. Placed in a good location with lots of things to do around the hotel making this an overall good place to stay.
