About the Casino
The Orleans is primarily aimed at the local Las Vegas market but they have built a good following among Vegas visitors for their excellent accommodations, relatively low prices, and vast entertainment offerings. Since it is located about two miles west of New York-New York it really isn't within walking distance or even within view when you're standing on The Strip so it is often overlooked. That's too bad because the hotel does have a lot to offer.
As you may have guessed from the name, New Orleans is the theme with faux Bourbon Street detail work like wrought iron railings and plantation shutters. They really didn't go for authenticity since most of it looks like a street scene at Disneyland but if it is authenticity you are looking for, go to Louisiana.
The large, bright casino lets in lots of natural light - a rarity in Las Vegas where they'd prefer you don't know what time it is. A very high ceiling adds to the overall feeling of spaciousness. Being a local oriented place, video poker dominates much of the floor space but there are all of the latest slots and table games, a high-limit salon for slot machines (no table games) a race and sports book, a poker room, and plenty of room to stretch out in. Although not significantly bigger than most of The Strip casinos, it feels bigger because of its rambling, spacious layout.
If you’re hungry you have roughly nine bazillion options to choose from. Okay, that’s an exagerration but there are seven major restaurants including a 24-hour cafe, a sushi bar, an oyster bar, a steakhouse, a prime-rib joint, a Mexican joint, and a TGI Friday’s. A food court adds several more quick serve options including Fuddruckers and Subway and a big buffet serves big portions for significantly smaller prices than what you’ll pay for buffets on The Strip.
