We have been going to the Orleans for years now, since about 2000, once or twice per year. They upgraded about 5 years ago and transitioned from a locals-only focused casino to a modern and more contemporary casino. They have several good restaurants and the slots are good, not great. There is a little more to do here than some casinos, and I personally enjoy the sports bar while my wife is gambling.
Try the Prime Rib Loft for a good meal at a reasonable price.
