Orleans Poker Room
Overview
Part of Orleans Hotel & Casino Las Vegas
You won't find any of the glitz and bright colors that are found in many other Vegas poker rooms, what you will find is a refreshingly minimalist decor with The Orleans huge 35-table, non-smoking poker room features super-soft adjustable padded leather seats and plenty of plasma screens and lower limit action. Games offered include Texas Hold'em with Half Kill, No Limit Hold'em, Omaha High-Low with Half Kill, Seven Card Stud, and Seven Card Stud Hi-Low, and when demand warrants, higher limit games. Weekend wait times are <15 minutes.
The Orleans offers good daily tournaments at 12:05pm and 7:05pm and is one of the few places that offers a regular Omaha tournament. The room also hosts the Orleans Open Poker series which is typically held during the World Series of Poker. There's a full range of lower buy-in tournaments if the crowd at the WSOP has you burned out.
Cocktail service is available table side and very responsive.

Atmosphere: The tables are not the newest, but they have been recently re-covered and they're decent. The chairs are average. What I like is that there is plenty of space between the tables.
Dealers: The dealers are better than average for the most part. Some are very good, a few are below average. One guy shakes all the time and is extremely nervous. I think he might have a drug problem. If not he has a nervous disorder. Some of the dealers are inattentive, but generally they are pretty good.
Food: I think the drink service is a little better than average, but not the best. They have Heineken which is my beer of choice while playing poker. The waitresses are slightly better looking than average, as a whole.
Service: This room is one of the best run rooms I've been at, as far as speed of getting a seat. The table management is excellent. Its a big room and I almost always have played 1/2 nl here. I rarely have to wait more than 15 minutes and its usually less than 5 minutes.
Comps: I think the editor's comment of $1.25/hr is correct. This is better than most I think.
