[McMelchior]

The Orleans is our favorite Vegas stay these days, now that you can't book Bally's for $70 anymore in the weekends.

Very good quality/price ratio. It's clean, well maintained and my fav feature: you can open the window in the bathroom and actually enjoy the view of the Strip while showering (if your room faces the right way)! Security is good, the spa (according to my wife) and pool not upscale but decent, and I love the tournaments. On the downside: the rooms are smaller than in the more expensive hotels, and in the room there's no entry area - the door opens directly into the bed area.

There is a free shuttle to the strip, but the last return is like 12:30 AM, so count on either renting a car (highly recommended, break up the gaming with a hike in Red Rock Canyon) or an occasional cab ride.

Best,
