text: Just got back from a couple of nights in Vegas for a reunion The cheapo buddy who organized it picked the Orleans as lead hotel In that I had not seen most of the guys for years I felt it would be most fun to stay at Orleans This is a hotel that is way off the strip Felt like a much older crowd as opposed to Cosmopolitan where it felt like you were surrounded by something is You need a car or take a taxi to get to most places It is miles to Bellagio for example a bit too far to walk after having drinks The rooms are dated no flat screen tvs water in bathroom has that sulfur smell new fixtures saved it a bit The room I had was huge cost a night which included tax and resort feelike a mini suite Too much second hand smoke walking around casino sportsbook and restaurants no real barnight life other than gambling Does have a movie theatre and bowling alley as part of the complex Food and drinks cheaper than the strip for sure Would I stay here again probably not the savings on room is lost on cost of cabs and lack of other nightlife
