The building itself is mid-metamorphosis, and won't be full-on Quad until late 2013. Reps report that the Quad's redesigned porte cochere, though, will come online next week and "is expected to greatly improve congestion along pedestrian walkways as well as vehicle access to the casino." Inside, work still continues on renovations to the "front desk, bell desk, hotel lobby, casino floor, retail promenade and dining levels." As for the rooms, well, there's a reason they'll remain among the cheapest on The Strip.

For chip collectors out there, we heard last night that there are still IP chips for sale at the cage. We're not sure if that's still the case right now, but if you want to snag one, you'd better hurry down now.

If you have some that you want to cash in, Pulse of Vegas blog says you have until April 21, 2013 to do so. Click here to see what the Quad chips look like.
