text: This is my place to stay in Vegas I do not like the crowds on the Strip Someone comped me a room at Mandalay Bay last month and I could not wait to come back to the OrleansnnHere are the good points of the Orleandsnn Restaurants No one has been extolling the great restaurants in this place I have been to the Prime Rib Loft at least times and everything is good Even the salmon Also had the lamp chops and they were great This is a fairly luxurious place to dine And the waitresses and bus girls are very friendly too Prices oz prime rib is about and outstanding Salmon is about and well worth it sitting on a corn cake with Asian relishnThe Canal Street is much more elegant and rated as the best steak in a Vegas Hotel I have had the rib eye there and it was greatnCoffee Shop also excellent bargain and very good quality For dinner you can get a oz porterhouse for nBig Als Oster is also unique and excellent quality however the clam chowder has deteriorated from being the best ever to average This happenned at the time that Boyd Gaming took over the OrleansnnCASINO in past years this was my favorite place to play the machines Won many Royal Flush with pay outs Also on holidays they gave you x or x reward points for playing That seems to have ended along with the Boyd management taking overnI still do OK with video poker but for best results I travel to Sams Town to win money there and run away immediately because it is so damn sleazy therenI am a boring person So the reason I like the Orleans is I can fill my day with things to do Usually start off with breakfast and then a visit to the Spa Great steam room and jacuzzis Nice lounge area too Then it is off to gamble until lunch Then I nap in the afternoon Get up and gamble some more and have dinner at Orleans Then for my evening entertainment I take in a movie upstairs with films to choose from and stadium seating BTW Orleans also has a huge childrens play room where you can check your kids in while you see a movie or eat dinnernBarring any big losses gambling this makes a great vacation schedule for menOh and I often get discounted room rates with my next reservation taking me down to on Sunday and Monday nightnnHope this helps you guysnBernie
