I recently stayed at The Orleans Hotel for 3 nights, because it was the cheapest hotel I could find that was still pretty close to the strip and had decent reviews. I actually got a great internet deal on the hotel plus airfare.\n\nI have mixed feelings about The Orleans Hotel. \n\nFor the price, I would give the hotel itself 4-5 stars. The rooms were big and comfortable, the spa was pretty nice, and the pool area has two pools and a very relaxing hot tub. They also have a cheap bowling alley that is open all night.\n\nHowever, the casino area is kind of sad. The crowd is a little older and the restaurant options are not that great. \n\nAlso, if you are planning on spending most of your time on the strip, and you don't have a car, The Orleans might not be the best option. There is a free shuttle that goes to the strip, but it ends at 12:30 a.m every night. After that, you have to take a $10-15 cab ride back to the hotel. I also felt like there was a lot of time wasted being shuttled back and forth between the hotel and the strip. Shuttles seem to run every 20-30 minutes, but you might not get on the first shuttle if there are too many people in line in front of you. Then, you have to wait for the next one...\n\nAlthough I thought the hotel itself was nice and the price was great, next time I go to Vegas, I'll probably stay on the strip, at a much more convenient location.\n\nOh, and one more negative thing, you have to pay $11.99 per day to use the internet in your room! I was a little surprised by this...
