The Orleans is a hotel and casino located in Paradise, Nevada, near the Las Vegas Strip. It is owned and operated by Boyd Gaming. It includes the large multipurpose Orleans Arena that can be converted into an ice rink and can seat 9,000 attendees.[3] The Orleans Ice Rink is the former home of the Las Vegas Wranglers, a minor league ice hockey team that played in the ECHL from 2003 until 2014.

Though The Orleans attracts a fair number of tourists, particularly during the Mr. Olympia contest, it is primarily considered to be a locals casino. It is located about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) west of the Las Vegas Strip, but offers from 9:00 am to 12:30 am[4] a free shuttle bus approximately every 30 minutes to sister property Gold Coast Hotel and Casino and The Linq.

History

[edit]

The $173 million Orleans opened on 88 acres of land on December 18, 1996, with 840 hotel rooms.[5][6][7] When the Orleans first opened, it did not perform up to expectations. In 1999 a major addition to the casino and other amenities were added. The success of these changes has been demonstrated by continued expansions in later years.

The Orleans Arena was added in 2003. A second hotel tower was added in 2004.

The location has the distinction of having hosted the final concert performance from stand-up comedian George Carlin, on June 15, 2008.[8][9]
