Getting a cab or shuttle to the strip usually cost around $15 a trip.

We would stand there for several mintes waiting for them to finish bickering or discussing work, then have to ask for help. The bell hops, or car hops (whatever they were) outside of the hotel were not helpful, and usually rude. We went to a movie one day, went bowling another day, and that helped make it a well rounded vacation.

We enjoyed the variety the Orleans offered. Our room was big, with a good view of the surrounding mountains. Our room was down a beautiful and very long hallway on the 17th floor. Check in took about 25 minutes, a little slow. We had reserved a non-smoking room months ago, but all they had was a smoking room, and they did not make that right. Our check in was serviced by young woman who were cordial but do not go out of their way to make things right. Like every experience at hotels you take the good with the bad. We were impressed with the size and variety of the hotel. My wife son and I stayed at the Orleans March 24-27th, 2007. The fun book, for hotel guests only, saved us a lot on money on shows at the hotel, and free wine with dinner! We will stay here again. Since the free shuttle runs twice an hour to the strip until Midnight, it is a good value. It is a good property with a middle-class clientele, a lot of amenities, and (if you get offers) sometimes 1/2 the price of strip hotels. but the hot tub is great! The casino has a good variety of slots and sometimes they are loose. Breakfast is very reasonable, and lunch and dinner are ever better. Many properties in Vegas have free shuttles, but you sometimes have to ask (for directions) in order to find them. No one told them!!! Always ask at a hotel's front desk. Instead, they went to the rear exit, and paid $15 for a taxi. It is from the front of the hotel near the sign. I noticed that a few visitors to The Orleans couldn't find the free shuttle.
