Surrounded by celebrities

The Imperial Palace is famous for its "Dealertainers," celebrity impersonators who deal blackjack for you, then get up on a little stage and sing a song or two.

I've played poker at IP with the Garth Brooks dealertainer. I remember thinking he was kidding when he told me that, but sure enough I have since seen him up on stage.

I like the Dealertainers even if they can be a bit loud. They bring a fun energy to the place and keep the mood light.

Also, you didn't mention the actual celebrity that frequents IP: TBC. Who needs impersonators when you can play with a legend?
