The Orleans is one of our favorite places to stay and gamble in Las Vegas. They send us 2 night stay offers which we gladly use. The casino is large and the buffet is great. We make sure to come on senior day to get our points multiplied and to get a 2 for 1 buffet coupon.

ORLEANS...BEST OFF-STRIP CASINO. HAVE STAYED HERE 8 CONSECUTIVE YEARS. A PLETHORA OF DINING VENUES. ZILLIONS OF SLOTS, BOWLING ALLEY, SHOWROOM. ROOMS ARE JUST FINE, NOT SUITES--HOPE YOU DON'T GET ROOMS DOWN THE LONGEST HALLWAY OF THE 3 WINGS. METHINKS THOSE ARE THE LOW NUMBERED ROOMS. NON-SMOKING POOL AREA (POO). DID I MENTION I LIKE THIS BUFFET. MUST HAVE 6 COOKING STATIONS WITH A STEAK NIGHT THROWN IN THERE SOMEWHERE. DRINKS ARE GRATIS AS IN ALL OF LV, BUT I'VE ALWAYS HAD GREAT DRINK SERVICE HERE. HAVE A RENTAL CAR? STAY HERE---YOU'LL THANK ME FOR IT LATER. VIDEO POKER, NOT GOOD,BUT I'VE DONE OK.

Have stayed all over Las Vegas including the strip and downtown, but keep coming back to the Orleans! Being a low-limit gambler, I haven't found anywhere else that treats you as good as the Orleans does for my play.

I usually play two hands of $5, 2 deck blackjack. Of course finding $5 limit on the strip is out of the question, but the Orleans lets you play two hands and you don't have to bet double.

Also they deal a two deck game without those lousy 6-5 payouts for blackjacks. The game proceeds at a nice pace and I have never been turned down for a buffet comp. Usually with 4 hours of play I can get a comp for two to any restuarant in the place except for the gourment restuarant.

However, when you can go to the Prime Rib loft, I don't feel I'm missing out too much! Of course that brings up the subject of food and if you saw me, you would know that I like to eat. I haven't found a buffet I like more for everyday eating. As Dave M. mentions you can't beat the gumbo and crawfish on the buffet. Even if you don't like cajun food the rest is really good and the variety is large.

Love the Orleans, they have very clean rooms at discount prices. The food restaurants hit the spot at very reasonable prices with good service. They offer a free shuttle to the strip if you want. It makes my gambling money go a little further and every little bit helps..

Got the inexpensive room rate in conjunction with a slot tournament. The rooms were as good as the strip hotel casinos. The slots were good and hit regularily.

The people were very nice and having many different eateries was nice. Very comparable to the Southpoint as an off main strip place to stay and play.
