Orleans Casino/Hotel is a very nice place. Rooms are equal or better than many on Strip. It is a favorite place for locals.
Read visitor reviews here.
Only problem is if you stay at a fine local's casino like this, you won't wanna stay on the Strip in any low-priced option there again!
It is two miles straight down Tropicana Blvd from Tropicana Casino/Hotel. They run a free shuttle to sister property Barbary Coast on the strip. Shuttle runs every 20 mins and only crowded weekend nights. If sale/trade of Barbary Coast is finalized by Feb to Harrah's, they should still run the shuttle to somewhere on the Strip as all long term customers are used to it and expect it.
My favorite play here for rooms, tho, is the very nice Emerald Suites Cameron just across the side street from Orleans. For same price or less you get big suite with kitchen and free internet access.
And can still ride the free Orleans shuttle.
Caesars (Harrah's) has put bunch of money in the property last few years---updating rooms, finishing the strip access construction and such---folks say it is a much nicer experience staying there now. It did get rundown a bit few years back, but Harrah's is promoting the Caesars brand and have been working hard recently to bring the flagship property up to snuf.
