Wireless internet at Java Vegas (formerly Seattle's Best, now using Starbuck's coffee) is available, although it can be hard to find a table. Saimin might be my new favorite food: noodles, char siu pork, shrimp, fish cake, in a chicken broth. I used my $10 dining credit for a bowl of Saimin noodle soup at the Courtyard Cafe. The bedding package was perhaps the BEST I've experienced in any Vegas hotel. I agree with the Wizard's reviewer that the TV selection was poor, and they did not have a flat screen. The rooms are fine big, with a couch and table, although very tackily decorated. The hotel is huge, so you could have a long walk to your room.
Now that I think about it, the Orleans has always been crowded when I've been there.Ĭheck in was a breeze, and they put me on the third floor near the elevator. There were something like four basketball tournaments going on at once, so there were a lot of players and cheerleaders with funny names emblazoned on their clothes like 'Wolfpack,' 'Vandals,' 'Rainbow Wahine,' etc. I booked it for that night (it was 6 PM), and got on the 108 bus to the westbound Tropicana bus and was there in 20 minutes. I checked my laptop at the airport, and found a two nights free+$10 dining credit offer on my BConnected card. I stayed here for two nights, after United bumped me from a flight out of LAS (hellish story that I won't bore you with).
