When I stayed at The Orleans for the first time I didn’t know it was that near to the strip. They still call it a local’s casino but I saw a lot of tourists like me at The Orleans. This may be due to the fact that the room rates well below fifty dollars a night on that weekend. The Orleans was around four blocks away from main strip on Tropicana Avenue.
Check in was a nice experience in spite of the long queue. The receptionist asked whether I need a room facing the strip or on other side. She was very happy to answer all my questions
too. Since it was a large structure compared to other off strip hotels and somewhat complex with a French theme, I found difficulty in finding the hallway to guest rooms. But once I reached my room I was quite happy. The room was big and spacious.
It had a sofa inside it saw that the night I could sit on it and enjoy the main strip view.
Since I am not a frequent high roller, I was slightly disappointed to see that there was no five dollars table there. All the tables start with ten dollars and roulette tables were from two dollars.
The players were mostly locals ...
