The Pool at The Orleans Hotel & Casino

"An "excellent" West of Strip option that has "just about anything you want to do” -- including an arena, theater, comedy club, 18-screen multiplex, arcade, 70-lane bowling alley, "great" pool, kids' adventure play area and “lots of places to eat” -- this property offers an "all-around good time" wrapped in a "Mardi Gras theme" for "not a lot of money"; “spacious” rooms are “well appointed” with “wonderful" views of the Strip and nearby mountains, while the staff is “friendly and helpful"

"Families will find plenty to amuse kids here, including a bowling alley, cinema and Olympic-sized pool"

"The three outdoor pools—one is actually an oversize hot tub—are plain and simple, and guests booking a massage or facial in one of the eight treatment rooms avoid having to fork over the $20 fee to access the spa"
