The Orleans has been in business now for many years. It seems to cater a lot to locals and they are a full service and very large casino. It's a bit too big for me but I did enjoy the time I spent there this last trip last week. They are huge...they have bars all over the place, lots of restaurants including chains in a food court. They also happen to have a HUGE poker room with about 50 tables. I am a poker player so that's big to me. I like an enclosed poker room to keep the smoke out. This room is not enclosed but it's so large the smoke wasn't much of a problem. They had just about every kind of poker game available and a lot of action so one can get on a table just about any time. I might add that if you're a poker player you can park in the back and walk right into the poker room area...very convenient.

We watched some football there in a lounge that had been converted with a big movie type screen with very nice cushy chairs. It was very nice. We also had a problem there and when I complained to management, a young lady at the front desk named Stephanie couldn't do enough to solve the problem.

This was the first trip to Las Vegas when I have spent a great deal at Orleans and I don't regret it. We didn't get a chance to try their restaurants but I understand their Mexican joint is real good. NEXT TIME!
