DK Eyewitness
"French Quarter-themed hotel, with green-shuttered windows and wrought-iron balconies."
Time Out
"The theme at the Orleans is more Disneyland than French Quarter. Still, the locals don't seem to mind, mostly because the Vegas-style action is very real." Full review
Star Service
"Wedged between Home Depot and Adult Emporium, this locale is far from ideal, but inside the hotel the mood is lively, riffing on Mardi Gras 24/7." Full review
Gayot
"When this resort opened in December 1996, it had 810 rooms and 30 suites in a 21-story tower."
BlackBook
"The Orleans' Big Easy theme is largely outside, with the enormous, boxy casino painted up as pastel row houses with wrought-iron balconies."
Zagat
