10 years ago, I went to the Orleans to either watch movies or play DDR with my other tween friends.
Today, I go to the Orleans for low table minimums, bowling & cheap drinks, or drunk food at 4AM.
$10 table minimums are right up my alley. If I'm not going downtown for the $5 roulette or blackjack tables, Orleans isn't too far and I'm comfortable gambling here. I'm a gambling newbie so impatient obnoxious dealers push my buttons.
The food at the Orleans isn't half bad either. The 24-hr cafe/restaurant is reasonably priced and the graveyard specials are awesome. $4.99 steak & eggs and its pretty darn good after a long night of clubbing and some desperately needed sobering up.
Its not luxurious but hey, who cares.
