The Orleans is a GREAT hotel if you want to have an overall excellent experience in Las Vegas without having all the hassles associated with staying on the strip.\n\nExcellent off-strip location that is about as easy in / easy out as it gets. \n\nThe rooms are HUMONGOUS and CLEAN!  Not ultra modern with flat screen tv's  and marble bathrooms but the rooms at The Orleans are as big as my first apartment after graduating college!\n\nThe fitness center is ENORMOUS and CLEAN!  Lots of ellipticals, treadmills, stationary bikes (upright as well as recumbent), weight machines free weights, medicine balls, stability balls, free towels, a water dispenser, flat panel TV's and disinfecting wipes so you can wipe down the equipment before and after your workout.  \n\nAn ENORMOUS movie complex.\n\nAn ENORMOUS bowling alley.\n\nAn ENORMOUS casino floor that is SPACIOUS lots of table games, slot machines, video poker and a HUGE sports book area!\n\nBARS, BARS and more BARS.\n\nMore dining places than you expect... and best of all they include tons of KNOWN establishments!  TGI Fridays, Starbucks, Baskin Robbins, Subway, Fuddruckers, etc.  If you want a great steakhouse... it's here.  A buffet?  It's here.  Mexican?  It's here. Italian?  It's here.  A 24hr cafe?  It's here.\n\nThey offer free transportation to the strip if you don't have a car or don't want to be bothered with all the hassles of driving on the strip on a weekend night (great way to burn a tank of gas!).  \n\nThe parking is free... and AMPLE!  Both in their covered garage and in an open-air lot (though this can get your car uber-hot!).\n\nThe rooms offer wi-fi at a reasonable cost if you need BUT there is FREE WiFi downstairs at the coffee place.\n\nThe staff is VERY friendly and VERY helpful.  \n\nWe've been staying at The Orleans hotel for at least the past 10 years and have never once had anything less than a fabulous experience. \n\nHIGHLY recommend.  The only reason it doesn't get a 5-star review is because it's not as high-end and trendy and modern as a lot of the hotels in Vegas now.  But it's also not as expensive and hassle-filled either.  Yeah, give The Orleans a try.  HIGHLY recommend!
