About The Orleans Hotel and Casino

The Orleans Hotel and Casino is a hotel-casino at 4500 West Tropicana Avenue in Las Vegas, Nevada, owned and operated by Boyd Gaming. The property opened in 1996 and holds a commercial gaming license from the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The minimum gambling age is 21, and the gaming floor operates 24 hours a day.

The Orleans occupies the western Las Vegas Valley — off the Strip, west of I-15 along West Tropicana Avenue — and functions as one of Las Vegas’s larger locals-market hotel-casinos. Boyd Gaming, headquartered in Las Vegas, operates The Orleans alongside a portfolio of Nevada properties including Fremont Hotel and Casino, Sam’s Town, and the Suncoast Hotel and Casino. Phone: 800-ORLEANS (800-675-3267).

The property’s most significant differentiator in the Las Vegas gaming market is its 35-table poker room — one of the larger poker operations in the city by table count, with a game spread that is unusually varied by contemporary Las Vegas standards. For dedicated poker players evaluating Nevada poker rooms, The Orleans is one of the few remaining venues in the Las Vegas area that runs 7 Card Stud and Omaha Hi-Lo as regular offerings alongside No Limit Texas Hold’em. The hotel and resort amenities — pool, spa, fitness center — make it a practical overnight base for poker-focused visitors who want to stay off the Strip.

Poker Room

The Orleans Hotel and Casino operates a 35-table live poker room — one of the largest by table count in the Las Vegas market — spreading five distinct poker variants: No Limit Texas Hold’em, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi-Lo, and Mixed Games. This variety is a meaningful differentiator: most contemporary Las Vegas poker rooms run exclusively or almost exclusively NL Texas Hold’em, while The Orleans maintains a multi-game schedule that serves a broader range of poker disciplines.

7 Card Stud Hi-Lo (also called Stud Eight-or-Better, or Stud/8) splits the pot between the best high hand and qualifying low hand, adding a strategic dimension absent from flop games. Omaha Hi-Lo likewise splits the pot and requires distinct hand-reading skills from Omaha Hi. Mixed Games rotates through multiple poker variants — typically some combination of HORSE or Dealer’s Choice — on a fixed rotation, appealing to the most experienced and versatile poker players.

For the poker player in Las Vegas looking for game variety rather than just the largest NL Hold’em field, The Orleans poker room is one of the best options in the city. Stakes, schedules, and tournament calendars change; call 800-ORLEANS or visit orleanscasino.com for the current lineup.

Gaming Floor

Beyond the poker room, The Orleans carries approximately 1,996 gaming machines alongside a 60-table non-poker game section. The machine inventory covers standard reel slots and Video Poker in multiple denominations. The table section runs Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Pai Gow Poker, Mini-Baccarat, 3 Card Poker, Let It Ride, and Keno — a solid Nevada table game menu. A Race & Sports Book handles legal sports wagering and simulcast race betting.

The Orleans’s off-Strip location on West Tropicana typically means lower table minimums than comparably sized Strip casinos, especially during off-peak hours. For Las Vegas casino visitors budget-conscious about table play, the 60-table non-poker section is worth comparing to Strip equivalents before sitting. Confirm current minimums at the tables.

Hotel and Resort Amenities

The Orleans is a hotel-casino with on-site accommodations. The resort amenity set includes a pool, fitness center, spa, and restaurant — all operating on the property’s 24/7 schedule. The pool and spa make The Orleans more than a gambling stop; the combination of hotel rooms and a full resort footprint at an off-Strip location provides the amenity depth of a Strip resort at typically lower room rates.

Location and Access

The Orleans Hotel and Casino is at 4500 West Tropicana Avenue, Las Vegas, NV — approximately 1.5 miles west of the Las Vegas Strip via West Tropicana Avenue, and about 3 miles from Harry Reid International Airport. Self-parking is available at the property. Phone: 800-ORLEANS (800-675-3267).

★ Editor note

The Orleans — Las Vegas's best under-the-radar poker room, 35 tables and five variants

The Orleans Hotel and Casino at 4500 W. Tropicana is primarily the right choice for one specific visitor: the dedicated poker player who wants game variety beyond NL Hold'em. The 35-table room running 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi-Lo, Mixed Games, and NL Texas Hold'em is one of the most varied poker operations in Las Vegas and is nearly impossible to find on the Strip itself. The hotel, pool, and spa make it a viable overnight base for a poker trip. The 60-table casino floor and Race & Sports Book cover the rest. Call 800-ORLEANS or visit orleanscasino.com for current hours and poker schedules.
