The reason why I stayed here was for an event that was I attending an event that was being held there. I stayed a few years ago, so I don't remember how EVERYTHING was, but here are the things I can sum up for you...
Not gonna lie, because this was one of the older hotels on the strip, I wasn't convinced that the rooms would be all that nice. BUT, to my surprise they were quite nice. They weren't outdated nor dirty from what I remember. The bathroom wasn't bad either - a good size. We had a room w/ 2 queens and there seemed to be enough room to walk around and not feel like the furniture is right behind you.
The walk to the convention center wasn't too far from our room & the place was pretty big. It was exciting for me because I've never been & the entrance was kind of a big moment, hah.
The event lasted until 7am, but I remember we left earlier & later went to the 24/7 cafe downstairs. I had a really fun experience at The Orleans and will remember not to judge a book by its cover.
Side Note: The Orleans is not walking distance to the Vegas Strip.
