Rough Guide "The rates are not bad for such well-equipped rooms."
Frommer's "As long as prices hold true (as always, they can vary), this hotel is one of the best bargains in town, despite the location." Full review
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."
Zagat3.7
"An "excellent" West of Strip option that has "just about anything you want to do"."
Lonely Planet "Tastefully appointed French-provincial rooms are good-value 'petite suites,' with fitness center access, on-site childcare, a movie theater and a bowling alley." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A bargain by Las Vegas casino standards. This Mardi Gras-themed hotel is a short shuttle ride west of the Strip. Families will find plenty to amuse kids here." Full review

Concierge "In Vegas, folks looking for a bargain often try out less expensive "nongaming" properties but find themselves either far from the Strip or bored silly. Cue the nongambling Platinum Hotel."
Fodor's "This swank, nongaming, condo-hotel has become a fashionable hideaway for Vegas regulars who prefer top-notch amenities but don't need to stay on the Strip." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"A classy condo-hotel tucked behind the big casinos, this 255-suite property is one of the best off-the-Strip values to be found." Full review
Time Out "The second condo-hotel to open in Las Vegas (the first was the Residences at the MGM Grand), this highly impressive property sits within a five-minute walk of the Strip." Full review
Gayot "This non-gaming, non-smoking hotel is a nice respite with its one- and two-bedroom suites, which range from 900 to 1,100 square feet."
BlackBook "A desert-toned, high-rise exterior with office-park aesthetics rocking all-suite accommodations in a gaming-free zone just a few minutes’ walk from the Strip."
Zagat4.8
"Sophisticated and hip, this all-suite boutique property is just over a mile from the Strip and has no casino, but the smoke-free haven lures trendy business and leisure travelers."
Gayot13.0
"Eclectic, modern restaurant tucked into the InterContinental Milwaukee." Full review
Lonely Planet "Just off the Strip, the coolly modern rooms at this spiffy, non-gaming property are comfortable and full of nice touches." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"The refined Platinum hotel appeals to repeat visitors to Las Vegas and anyone who wants to escape the craziness of the Strip." Full review
