Don't be afraid to stay at this hotel because of their cheap room rates. This place was fantastic! We had found a really great rate and were a little skeptical because of the price. You usually get what you pay for with hotels - but not in this case - you get far more! It's a large, nice hotel and casino. Rooms were huge (bigger than at NYNY Hotel & Casino on last visit) and clean. Nice, large swimming pool and hot tub. The shuttle service to the Strip was painless and fast. No need for a car. Only a $12 cab ride from the airport. Be aware that they do add a $5 a day "resort fee" to your rate at the hotel which they say gives you ammenities that are often included at other hotels like free local calls, in room coffee pot, access to fitness center, 30 min/daily internet access (older, worn computers but was great for airline check-in and printing boarding passes). If you get a good rate, you won't mind the extra $5. Was still such a great deal. A wonderful experience. Have no fears in staying at The Orleans - it's not too good to be true!
