Re: The Orleans
Positives: The rooms are quite OK and definetly worth the price. You should be able to get a poker rate after playing some hours there. You donīt have to play 8 hrs a day as in other casinos. Furthermore they have the most beautyful coctrail waitresses in Vegas. Just my opinion of course. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
Negatives: Itīs a bit off the strip. You either need a car or take a shuttle. If itīs your first time in LV I would rather recommend to stay in the Strip. The atmosphere in a strip hotel is sure something extraordinary.
About the pokerroom: Great tourneys twice a day. Especially the monday night NLHE tourney is the best in Vegas IMHO. Cash games are spread 4/8 both HE and O8, 6/12 HE, 1-5 stud and sometimes 10/20 HE. Players are mostly regulars, but not at all too good. Pretty friendly game. They do have a Jackpot which was pretty high the last time I was there (over 60k at holdīem last November. This was a bit of extreme, since itīs usually only about 30k high though)
One more thing to consider: At the Orleans you wonīt find too many young people. Lots of retireds.
Enjoy your trip
