What do you think about the Orleans?! (Also please remember to like this video if you liked it in real life 😊✌🏽)
I like the fact when he went to the standard room, he totally ignored what looked like a dirty couch and aged room and focused on.."oh look at this awsome picture on the wall"~while the dirty looking couch was in frame...lmao .....is this a hotel review or pictures inside hotels room vlog?
I really like the Orleans , lots of facilities, really easy to get to the Strip and great food options. The pool is good too. The showroom has some good retro big name acts too……..oh and the bathroom windows all open too :)
This place has always been a hidden gem to me
Hey there Mr. Pompsie,
Please read my comment I left for you
I’ve stayed there at least 10 times but it’s been about 3 years now. The standard rooms are due for a upgrade. The resort is large and does have a lot to offer. Very busy resort that held a lot of conventions. At times these conventions had a lot of kids for tournaments and there would be numerous kids moving through the casino to get places to eat or go to the arcade. The reason I stopped going there was the comps I used to get along with some video poker pay tables went south.
I now stay more at station casinos 🎰
The Orleans is a fun hidden gem. It's aging, but they take pretty good care of it. I love the fact that it's still so heavily themed. I wish more creative themes would make a comeback to Vegas.
Hey! Just subscribed to your channel!!
@@CasinoCorGaming welcome!!
I know I’m not the only one, but I’m really digging these value friendly and historical properties lately.
YES! While this wasn’t a favorite video I love seeing the properties off the strip! He has shown so many cool places to visit!
The Orleans is one of the favorite casinos of Las Vegas locals, which is why you would’ve seen it packed and full of energy…… Love this place!
I like The Orleans. It’s a totally different vibe than the hotels on the strip. Our room was nice and comfortable. Plus, everyone was very nice there. I have family in Las Vegas and they liked Red Rock and The Orleans.
I agree.
Hey Pompsie! Just wanted to thank you for continuing to show the standard rooms despite the fact you get lots of comps. Still a man of the people to showcase what the majority of the public probably wants to see. Keep it up!
Stayed at the Orleans many times and loved it! Everything you need in a casino resort without the hustle and bustle and overcharges on the strip. And seems better odds on the slots, with good variety of restaurants. A great place!
Sorry Pomps but I agree with others that you kind of just rolled through this review and didn’t give much detail. Don’t do reviews when you’re tired - it doesn’t go well. I’m a big fan but this doesn’t belong in your repertoire. Kind of felt like you had to do something without the “cons” in the review since they comped you so well and got special treatment.
No kidding. He can't even point out that the furniture in their best room is totally outdated. His comps have made him totally biased in his reviews and ALL the major properties know this so they give him free rooms now. Smh. He's playing the ball game that is Vegas. Spelled correctly it's spelled "BOLOGNA".
Agreed....sorry. man....you've sold to the highest bidder...
Sorry to disagree. Letting us see him when he is tired is a plus to give a feeling of family or friend vibe. He could easily edit an extraordinary video promotion of the hotel which he didn't because he never does. Pompsie and Greta are real and as real people they are living a real life which can include a stay at the hotel, a concert or a meal. Pompsie edits vibes and these can't be biased😊👍
Pomp’s going down in quality…
A great hotel and casino for the price. There’s plenty of free parking and a decent food selection. It’s also a good place to stay at if you’re vacationing with your family, as it has the movie theater, bowling alley, and Kids Tyme. The pool is pretty big too.
It haven’t to be the strip, there are so many beautiful hotels more. You know „Sam‘s Town“?
The Orleans has been my go to place to stay when I'm in Vegas. It has alot to offer ; movie theater, bowling, arcade, spa/gym, concert venue, sports arena, variety of restaurants and a food court, and most importantly for me it has POKER! I JUST LOVE THE ORLEANS!
❤️ Appreciate the love, David!
@@orleanscasino
Me and my family have been called The Orleans our home away from home for the past 10 years. We appreciate the hospitality every trip we make. I'm celebrating my 50th birthday there October 7th-10th I hope it's and expect it to be memorable. My parents , brother, son, in-laws, and friends will all be there. There is so much I love about The Orleans! Thanks for all my memories..
IMO the Orleans has some of the cleanest rooms in Vegas. I’m a single mom and have been doing 1-2 trips to Vegas every year with my daughter for the last 3 years…we stayed at another off property hotel 1 time and it just did not compare. She loves the pool, bowling ally, movie theatre, arcade… we’re a quick 5-10min Uber away from the strip! It’s awesome!
Agree they are super clean
I don't know if anyone will really care or find this interesting, but when I saw the purple Algiers sign, I was blown away. The reason being, that was the very first Vegas hotel I stayed in with parents in 1969. Just seeing it again, brought back those same feelings I felt at the time. Thanks Pompsie for including that sign! 😊
I saw that and thought how cool.
@@LearnExploreAdventure 👍😉
This is a GREAT place. It's where the locals like to hang out and it shows. EVERYONE is friendly. The food is good. Prices are reasonable. Annnnd unlike the strip, the drinks are NOT watered down. Love the Orleans.
I stayed here for 7 nights in February-March and it was fantastic! We can't wait to stay here again.
So cool . You will have to tell us one day about your stay 😜
@@TracyJ4418 I have a 4 different ones already up for you. Have a great day my friend
The Orleans has one of the largest casino floors in Vegas. It also has great poker games.
Love your music you feature in all of your videos!!!!
Always enjoyed The Orleans. Stayed many times and was never disappointed. Apparently it's not for everyone. We were always treated very well.
I have been following you for what seems like about a year. You deserve a LOT of credit for what you have been able to accomplish - a LOT of credit. I follow hundreds of UT channels and few have done better in so short a time. I am going to say this just for what it is worth. When you take a comp or any upgrade upon your first visit to a property it plants the seed of doubt that what you are getting is really not what the typical quest might expect. The prospect of "special treatment" taints your review - fair to you OR not - but it does. If you always pay your own way for the first visit and insist on being treated just like any other quest it establishes your independence and CREDIBILITY. If the property wants to invite you back as their guest then your unimpeachable credibility has already been established. You, they and WE know it is the real deal. The good properties want to treat everybody like they treat you. The others need to start meeting that expectation. You have become a power in Las Vegas - already. I cannot wait to see how far you can take this.
I agree with you and this is very fair. I don't think he ever imagined this channel or his local celebrity taking off like this. It must be weird and cool and a little confusing to know what to do with it. Me, I love free stuff so you want to give me the VIP treatment and luxury suite upgrade? Hell yeah!
But thinking long-term about his business, which is this channel, no one wants to watch infomercials. And there is simply no way an ordinary human can be totally objective when someone gives you things for free and also treats you really well. You're bound to overlook small things that you might mention if they hadn't.
So, I think he's kind of at an inflection point: Does he want this channel to be an honest review channel?; An "insider's view of what VIP life is like in Vegas?"; Or somehow a well defined combination of both?
Right now, it's an unsettling blend of both because you don't know what your getting when you watch. But maybe your suggestion is the best way to do it: Somehow demand that he be treated like anyone else then come back. BUT, you have to imagine, what if you know you want to come back and get the VIP treatment for another video? Are you really still going to trash a place, even if they deserve it? No, you'll probably go easy on them.
Totally agree!
@@sfmc98 Excellent points. When Chris has to do a "hatchet job" and deservedly so, on some property and they invite him back that may tell something about THEM. If he takes a freebie and does a "hatchet job" that tells something about Chris. He establishes his long-term credibility by being ready, willing, and able to "chop" as appropriate. He has a TREMENDOUS potential in being able to do exactly that. Chris has to go "no prisoners" in his very, very appealing way. I wonder if he will ever read these comments. Thanks for taking the time to make yours.
@@lewislindsey1946 Honestly, it might be time to branch out. One of the things I really enjoyed more than I thought I would were his videos in italy. He might want to do more travel and go places where he's not recognized. I think his filmmaking skills and personality would lend well to a travel review channel, not just Vegas.
@@sfmc98 Excellent suggestion. The Italy vacation was VERY good. Chris could give "cold call" reviews of foreign and US hotels. He would be incognito and with his base that could make him a very powerful figure in hospitality in and OUT of the country. Lots of POTENTIAL! Thanks
Forgot to mention the free shuttle to the strip ( high roller) area. Just show your room card. Also agree with good food and cheaper table minimums. Nice place with good value
Nice about the free shuttle
Nice Video Pomps, the wife and I spent our 2nd honeymoon there and loved it. She also won a large jackpot too boot. Not sure when we will return due to the covid. From Lighthouse Cove, Ontario Canada. P.S. Say hi to Greta she is a gem.
Pompsie, your Vegas videos are The Best!. Super cool Channel Brother, love what you do man!. Cheers!.MH.
Geesh, a lot of critics in these reviews. Notice they tag team, and repeat themselves 3 or 4 times. Here is my honest opinion of your reviews: I do NOT care if you pay or were comped. Makes no difference to me. I personally am not always listening intently to you (sorry Pomps LOL), because I am looking behind and around you. I want to look for myself, and see what would be important, or not important, to ME if I were to stay at a property. I look for cleanliness, I look at the size of the room (and yes, almost 80% of the time you show the standard room if you are staying in a suite, and I appreciate that because I would be staying in a standard room at any property). I know what would bother me in a room and what wouldn't matter to me. I want to see the area outside the hotel, such as the pool area. I want to know it is in a safe location. I look to see what is offered for restaurants. There is A LOT that a viewer can see for themselves as long as you are in there with your camera. Sure, you can talk and point out different things which is helpful, but truthfully, it is impossible for you to cover every little thing because a stay at a hotel is a very personal choice. People having the advantage of having a visual of where they might stay by you touring it, and that is invaluable. We all know that the beautiful pictures any property puts online are not always what you get when you actually arrive, then it is too late. You change hotels or suck it up. You work very hard. You go out of your way to review places that people request of you. You deserve to get comped if the property wants to comp you. The critics don't go to their jobs every day for free, right? You are doing your viewers a SERVICE to take the time and energy to stay at these places. I appreciate the efforts, and I know that there have been a few times when I ended up not going to a property based on your SHOWING US the property. Your words really do not influence my decision. They are an added bonus because there are many videos you have done where you mention something and it catches my attention as something I had not thought of. I want to thank you for all the time and energy you and Greta put into your channel. Add editing to that hotel stay and it is a lot of work. So thank you and remember the saying "you can't please them all". Especially the ones that have to repeat their critique and add more offensive words every time they rewrite it. You know there is a motive there. You keep doing you.
I think the Orleans is one of those hotels people feel invested in , unlike some of the bigger Strip hotels ….. but I think more than anything this video “missed” . Maybe Chris was tired, maybe he was trying to fit more in, maybe just trying something different …….but it just wasn’t up to his usual standard and people are reacting to that. It’s constructive criticism . When you set the bar high as he does then people notice and comment which is a double edged sword .
@Laurie Agree about the critics. Some want to see a livestream of everywhere in there but this is a vlog that took many hours just to edit the way he does. Instead of thanks for a look you get why this and that. And he gets more than any other vlogger. The more successful you get the more critics. I mean look at celebrities who are critiqued on everything. Feel bad for them.
@@SkyAndRetiring there's constuctive criticism then there's some being rude and impolite. Personally I think he was trying something different. Artists do that. They constantly reinvent themselves. My bro is similar to pompsie in his editing and filmmaking style. You'll never hit everyone loving it. So you change it up and get those people who love it. Changing things up from time to time isn't a bad thing when you have a huge audience with different likes. As a mod on a few channels you have all kinds of likes and dislikes. No prob. But disrespectful stuff then it's not fine.
Always been watching your videos. Just wanted to say great work and your videos are always on point and appreciated.
It would have been nice if you showed more of the standard room and the casino and less of the comps and tour you received
Totally agree 👍
Yeah, seems like he focuses on other stuff and not the actual review he is there for!!!
@@marcodoz once you receive those comps all credibility goes out the window ....you can tell he was looking at wall pictures and shower windowa to find anything positive about that standard room. No criticism at all. I hope he doesn't decide to review the new Afghanistan regime, i can see it now, Taliban comps him a palace and he transitions to a standard town, with Taliban rule and all he points to is "an awsome picture or mural" and totally ignores everything critical. "Afgan is not that bad, my HONEST REVIEW " - Pompsie
@@OmarAcosta09Imagine talking crap about the hand that feeds him. That would be something!!!😅😅😅
The Standard Rooms are really nice.. Much bigger than a standard strip room with free WI-FI and decent amount of cable channels
I was hoping for a bit more of a tour of the Orleans in order to get a feel for the property. Some of your best hotel reviews take us all around the casino floor, the "restaurant row", around the outside of the building, more information about the history/prices/services, etc. Also, I'd love a separate video focused solely on the Neon Museum! That would be an awesome tour!
RESTAURANTS ! !
Pompsie, myself and a group of basketball referees work 2 basketball tournaments every summer, once in August and once September, and we always stay the Orleans. It is a fun hotel/casino, nothing fancy, but always a good time, and it's off the strip for easy access. But one of the fun reasons we like to stay there is the 2 pool bartenders Nancy and Jason. They are the nicest coolest bartenders in all of Vegas I don't care what anyone says. I have been to every fancy hotel in Vegas with my wife, and these two always make you feel right at home. Plus you can't beat the drink costs at the pool compared to all the other hotels. So glad you had a chance to review this place.
You are correct about the pool drinks. A beer is 6.00. How can you beat that? Great price on all the other mixed drinks. It is by far the best for Vegas prices
Thank you so much for your kind words about Nancy & Jason. We love hearing they make your experience with us extra special!
@@orleanscasino They are the best!
I've stayed there about 20 times since 2006, always a comp standard room which haven't really changed in that time except they used to charge for wi-fi. also love the pocket door in shower especially on a cold night in a hot shower, they also have a lot of really old slot machines, new ones too but they have the most Keno machines anywhere and a "live" Keno lounge, they offer good comp packages and great food at their many restaurants that keep me coming back, fun place with a great vibe
GREAT Destination for us common folk.
Are those very old slot machines coin operated ones? 😊
@@oldiesgeek454 I don't believe they have coin drop, just a ton of the same Keno/Poker ticket in/out type machines
@@pmahre I see. I'm 60, and can't imagine playing a slot machine that doesn't take coins. I'm afraid the gambling world has passed me by. 😉
Thanks pmahre for the slot info ! I love Keno and it’s getting hard to find them in a lot of the Strip casinos.
As a general rule, reviews should include both positive and negative characteristics of the hotel, film, book, record, automobile, etc. To me, the danger of receiving any comp is that the 'review' becomes largely, if not exclusively, a paid advertisement of sorts. At what point is this a quid pro quo? Anyways, I'm not attacking Pompsie here as I really think he does one of the best vlogs that ever I've seen -- from the content to the editing to the music. These are just my thoughts. My goal: help, not harm.
The production value is definitely one of the best in the Vegas bloggersphere, and arguably one of the best in all of UA-cam.
The problem, if you want to call it that, is the content. Pompsie, you're now known in Las Vegas. And the hotels are savvy to that. And now, they are fishing for a positive review. Which is exactly what they got, just like the California in the last vlog. It's about the cheapest advertising they can do: throw the influencer a $250-400 suite and get a glowing review seen by tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. I'm not going to get comped a $400/night suite. I'm not getting my swanky steakhouse dinners comped. I'm not going on tours with resort GMs and owners.
And that's fine. It's your channel. You want to just do "Check out my experience at [insert location]!", that's cool. When you start delving into wanting to be a factual and more objective reviewer ("Honest thoughts", "inside look", "honest review"), the comps make you look disingenuous at best. Because here's the dots we, the viewers, can now connect: "Pompsie has gone to two straight Boyd Gaming hotels, been given significant upgrades or comped high-level rooms. Is that all he's been comped? Was he invited to these hotels by Boyd Gaming, or was he planning on visiting these hotels and the internal hotel teams got savvy to it? Why should I consider a hotel review 'honest' when the reviewer got the room (a high-level room) for free and then watch that video review where there are no negatives?"
But congrats. You got a few views out of me. I presume that's all you care about.
@@JustinSIsTank Just like the California "review", this one is a crock. If he had any honest credibility, he'd refuse all comps for rooms and restaurants, pay out of pocket like the average guest does and then give us an evaluation. If the room isn't worth the paid rate or the food is overpriced, we need to know. Otherwise, he's a shill for the property. Sorry, Pompsie, you've lost my respect and my subscription.
@@vegasvic144 I agree. I'm trying to be a little nicer about it, but there it is, brass tacks.
In addition to the Vegas internet community, I follow the Disney internet community pretty closely. There is a site called Touring Plans that is heavy on analytical data to help guests get the best bang for their buck. One overall thing they've noted is that it can be tougher for a top-line resort to get a tip-top guest satisfaction rating simply because those guests are shelling out potentially several hundred dollars a night for their hotel room, and that hotels that maybe have a little less theming, a smaller room, and fewer amenities can still score high on this site's metrics simply because the (relatively, for Disney) affordable cost makes guests more willing to highly grade a somewhat inferior experience. A quick perusal of the Orleans website says that one-bedroom suite they stayed in can run as low as $200 to $250 and as high as $400 to $450. Pompsie claimed he "really liked" the Orleans. I wonder how he would have felt shelling out $200-300.
I could tell something was wrong with pompsies energy during this video. It was like he couldn't be honest with everyone on this video. Pompsie usually talks about positive and negative in his vlogs.........but sometimes when your money ain't right you fall victim to the handout.......no hate.......... its the middle of a pandemic
@@vegasvic144 And the good part about refusing is that when you play hard to get, they chase you hard. So at some point if you do decide to sell out, it's going to be for something more than a free room and a steak. You can drop your panties at the drop of a hat for any Tom, Dick or Harry, or you can wait for a prince to sweep you off your feet!
Hi Pompsie, great Hotel in the second Line. Greetings from Rainer from Germany😉. And thank you so much for your work.
I typically enjoy your reviews but this one was too choppy. Talking about the neon sign museum and the show at Planet Hollywood seemed out of place. I wish you had used that time to focus on the Orleans. What type of restaurants and lounges does it have? Is there a buffet? What is the pool area like?
you kinda " mailed this one in " revisit on your own dime and really explore it.
We’ll said. I took it as he didn’t like the place at all.
@@Dive-Bar-Casanova Interesting take. There is no point in the video that suggests he didn't like it. Nor did he ever say anything alluding to that a single time at any point in the video.
I’ve been staying at The Orleans for the past 7 years. Offers a little bit of everything for my family .
I've been going to the Orleans since it opened. I play a LOT there, and they have always treated me very well. And the machines pay out pretty good. Alder & Birch is an excellent restaurant, one of Vegas' hidden gems! I like the old feel of the place as well. Thanks for the great video!
The hospitality there is 2nd to none. I stayed there a few years ago and my flight was delayed by 16 hours. I did not arrive there until early in the morning.. They offered to give me an extra comped night even though the error had nothing to do with them. Very clean rooms and the casino is filled with locals and less tourists.
Loved the Orleans when we stayed there! And would definitely go back! Great times there! Great views of the strip from our room!
Thank you for showing us around the property. I live right near by and love this place.
I always make a couple visits to the Orleans when in Vegas. I enjoy gaming there and I just like getting off the Strip. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Big shout out to Sam Boyd and his team for allowing Pompsie to showcase your great casino.
Unique as it offers old world Las Vegas quality without the razzmatazz of the strip.. Great work Pompsie
We were happy to have them here!
nice place, i was a dice dealer there many years ago. overall my favorite gig vs the strip. Strip casinos felt more corporate and the orleans was like home.
I love staying there for Viva Las Vegas! Everything you want is there and I never had to leave the hotel
Love The Orleans Hotel & Casino. Have stayed there multiple time and always had a great time.
I love this hotel-casino. Mostly locals gamble there. Great pool and very good pool bar. Blackjack pays 3/2 and that is a big benefit over the strip hotels. Restaurants are fairly priced for Vegas and food is very good. I always stay at the Orleans at lease 2-3 days when I come to town for a week every month. Rooms are clean but nothing fancy. Who needs fancy, just give me a casino and a few video poker bars.
Hey. On Blackjack…. Do the dealers deal out of shoes? How many decks? Does the dealer hit on soft 17? Can you double more than once? Thanks.
I loved playing and staying at the Orleans. On the tables games the Pit boss would come around and give you beads and candy and it's a fun place to play. The rooms are clean and spacious. I have always enjoyed my stay.
Definitely one of my favorite off-strip casinos. Never had a bad time there, but I do urge visitors to keep aware of their surroundings if walking outside the premises.
Although there’s really no need to walk as it has everything on site :) That said I’ve walked up to Walgreens from there several times in the day and the only danger I’ve felt is of heatstroke ;) Nightime yeah , but that’s true of everywhere not centre or south Strip IMO
How far is it from the strip?
Being a fellow hockey fan, before there were the Golden Knights, there were the Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL who played all of their home games at the Orleans from 2003-2014, inside that horseshoe shaped arena you showed us. They were the first to host a professional hockey game scheduled for midnight (because it's Vegas and they can) which I was at. Thanks for the vid!
Some really great memories! We hope you can join us for a Henderson Silver Knights game this season!
used to live up the street from here and frequented the arcade after school... thanks for the nostalgia trip :)
Seems like a good place for you and Greta, other things to do but gamble, and I am sure they have a 21 machine! bowling, movies, etc. good review
Pompsie & Greta , Thank you for taking the time and effort into this vlog . By reading some of the comments this hotel & casino isn’t for everyone. I would give it a try if I wanted to stay off the strip . First because you gave it your approval . Second because I love New Orleans . The decor and vibe is perfect . It seemed like they have some good restaurants with some southern cuisine choices and a Baskin Robbins 🍦Last , but not least . I have seen One Republic in concert too . My favorite song is “Counting Stars “ ⭐️ I would see them again and again . I think Greta would too 😎
I have spent a lot of time at the Orleans hotel and Casino. It’s a well maintained off strip property that has great food, entertainment, and gambling options. I highly recommend it to anyone local and out of town vacationers. They keep a high level of security ensuring your visit is peppered with great memories. So give it a try, you will not go wrong.
The Gold Coast is next to the Rio on W. Flamingo Rd. Orleans isn't. It is on Tropicana.
@@marianne4468 : Yes, that’s right. Me bad… The Orleans sits on the corner of Tropicana and Decatur. Across the street from the Clark County Firefighting school. About half a mile up from In & Out.
Beautiful Hotel and Casino. "Outstanding Room Service." few years back.
As soon as I saw the door handles, I was in heaven..thanks for showing me my favorite place.
💕
I stayed at the Oleans during the mid 2000's. It was a great place that surprised me because I stayed at other off Strip Casino-hotels that were old. The Orleans was warm and beautiful and jumping which also surprised me at the time. I had a very comfortable and large room which came in handy when my friends came to visit me. I will definitely checkout the Vegas sign museum and will like to check it out at night. Thanks for showing a standard room, it seems it needs updating but it may the best place to stay if you are on a budget.
Stayed there every summer while my son's played Travel Basketball. My youngest graduated 2020 so that tradition/chapter is closed for us. Always stayed standard room...nice, roomy,and comfortable. Awsome for families as it has nice variety of food options especially those favored by teenage hungry boys, movie theater, bowling alley and small arcade for our team to enjoy without leaving the hotel. Pool area is both beautiful and plenty of room for guests of all ages. I'm not a gambler but they have nice dancing area and live bands playing at times. Plenty to do and see there if one chooses to free transportation to and from the strip. Never had any issues, staff is pleasant and we stayed for full week every summertime. I would definitely recommend and return in future with no teenagers...what a joy! Oh and handful of fast food options right outside casino including Walgreen's down the corner.
Good job, Pompsie. Don't listen to the critics. Like they wouldn't take a comped suite. lol My wife and I have stayed at The Orleans a few times, and you very fairly represented it. It does look like it's aging a wee bit since we were there last, but it's a good place.
It's nice that you show the regular basic room that most people will be staying at.
Hello.Love the small rooms and the space it has.and yes it,s worth.i went to most of those casinos back in the days.thanksNice video too.
Pompsie, the Orleans is in my top 3 Hotel choices to stay in Vegas. It is also one of the most liked and busiest Hotels in Las Vegas. I myself have stayed at the Orleans four times out of my 16 times to Las Vegas. There is a shuttle that takes you to the strip every 15 minutes, non-stop so it's not a biggy if you're not Hoteling it right on the strip. It's a real self-contained Hotel where if you didn't want to leave you'd be entertained all day there. Great restaurant choices, good gambling, Keno section, Bingo upstairs, Movie Theatre, Bowling Alley, Arcade, Spa, I believe there's a small Sportsbook, the Arena of course where you saw One Republic (and YES I'm so jealous!). Just love that band & Ryan Tedder. Love the whole New Orleans vibe there. Thanks for sharing your views on it.
Thanks for the love, Patricia!
That's good to know about the shuttle. I will try the Orleans poker room out but was concerned on how far it was from the strip. I'm staying there for a weekend this summer.🙂
I always play poker at the Orleans when I'm in Vegas, because they offer Omaha Hi/Lo 8 or Better, my favorite poker game.
Orleans is my favorite off-strip casino.
My favorite place to stay in Vegas honestly. I really enjoy the poker room, all of the food options are solid and its just a better bargain to stay here. I don't feel ripped off here like I do at many other "strip" properties.
I love the look of the Orleans, you can tell from your video that it has a good vibe. Also, really glad there is a neon museum, those would be a real treat to see both during the day and night, so nostalgic!
My first time ever going to Vegas this is where I stayed I had a great time for my first experience 💯
This looks like a nice place - I have to go there.
I've stayed there at least 5 times; i like the off the strip vibe, great free parking, plenty of different games to play! Plus the table games have a nice relaxed feel to them. Very popular with the locals. Their poker room is just the right size! Lots of food options as well... Great place!
Big Al's Oyster Bar has good food and oysters! (and bloody maries!). Eat there every time we are in Vegas.
Our kid played in a baseball tournament each spring break in Vegas and we always stayed as a team at the Orleans. Great value. Pool area was nice and peaceful. The fast food, theatres and bowling alley made it great for the kids to spend their downtime. Understand that you are off the strip and don't expect the glitz and glamour of the strip hotels and you'll be fine.
Literally was wondering the other day when you'd review the Orleans. Thanks!
It's a fun place isn't it?
I really like this place. Excellent value and some dynamite food choices. I actually prefer The Orleans to most strip properties. Thanks man !
When I visited my brother who moved to Vegas a year ago, we went to Orleans several times. They also have a great Asian restaurant there. We ordered take out several times. The Mongolian Beef is soooo good! And the Honey glazed Shrimp with walnuts is good too.
When I would get off work at the Forum Shops, me and fellow employees would go to The Orleans for their Steak & Eggs Breakfast at their diner. It was so good!
Hey There Mr. Pompsie,
I been following you and your videos for a VERY Long time. I have lived in LasVegas for 27yrs and I LOVE the LasVegas History.
You do amazing and awesome videos.
QUESTION:
Would you consider doing videos on the "Celebrity Old Resident Homes/Condos and Restaurants of Las Vegas"???
There are so many and it such GREAT information and locations to share with the world.
There are so many stories and facts that are still active and available to visit.
I would LOVE LoVe to see you do this.
That has been my home base for about 13 years. Always have a great time and do well playing there as well. They always take care you and can say never had a bad stay.
Thank you for your loyalty! It means the world to us!
I love The Orleans. We've stayed there and really enjoyed it. Basic rooms are affordable and comfortable.
Love the Neon Museum! And I’ve stayed at the Orleans for a conference.
Orleans is a Destination by it self, everything is there. Lucky you, what a fabulous staycation, stay safe…🤙🏼
Love the Orleans. My go to when I am in Vegas. Great channel Pompsie.
Come on by Kel!
My comment is hard to put in words properly, but I actually like that you show more than just the standard rooms. If it’s comped, who would pass up the opportunity? I wouldn’t. I appreciate the work you put in. You’re doing us all a favor by touring multiple room options. What if someone wanted to actually stay in suite and didn’t know what which one to pick?! I know most people usually stay in standard rooms, which is great, you’ve shown plenty of options. But showing these bigger better rooms brings the entertainment to the channel and not just general information that people can look up on the internet. If that makes sense…
Anyways awesome video. I enjoyed it.
You get it. So many complaints about them staying in suites. I don't get it. I mean you can't get everything in a vlog. He takes more hours to edit, put music in, etc than anyone and gets complaints. Just amazing.
That is a very nice suite. I am so glad that your channel is being recognized and given the proper respect by the hotels.
Word got around after The Cosmo situation. Now all these properties do is give him free comps & rooms so they basically own him and they know he won't give them a bad review. It's become biased bull imo, they own Pompsie now & his so-called reviews have become tame & biased when given a comp & free luxury suites. This isn't the average Vegas visitor's experiences.
I don't blame Pompsie though. What person wouldn't want to take up offers on free comped best luxury suites and be able to film it for his popular vlog. But to be "honest", it isn't about being honest anymore really.
Just another great video by Pompsie.
This is My hotel. Love the NO vibe + playing poker with the locals. One of the only place you can play LIMIT omaha High/Low. Close enough to go see shows on the streets. Loving the College basketball tournaments. Sportsbook vibe for NFL is great.
Great video Pompsie!! See you in Vegas on the first weekend of October. Be well!
My mom favorite casino! RIP to her!
💕
The Neon Museum is awesome and definitely worth a visit......better at night though when they're lit up!
Orleans was the best place to be when I was a teenager, I grew up down the street from there on trop and Jones so on weekends we would go there for bowling and the movies
I am fascinated by the Neon Museum after watching a documentary about it. Orleans is a nice hotel too 😁
Love your videos and glad to see your adventures as well Pompsie. Thanks for posting this too. Have a nice day now.
love the orleans! also ur final thoughts at the end were spot on! glad u showed towards the end the nice shots of the poker room , bowling alley, etc. i’ve stayed many times .
I stayed at the Orleans many times, l stumbled on to it because a strip property lost my reservation, and did not have rooms available, l got on the phone 3 calls later boom Orleans here l come. I was so impressed with the room that l returned many times. Prime Rib Loft was great, Big Al's Oyster Bar was fun, Have to mention the mexican restaurant, it had like 4 different types of salsa and sauces for the chips impressive, food was great also. Not sure if it is still open.
Did have a shuttle running regularly to the strip also at the time. Used the sports book also. Friendly staff.
Oh I like this place. I have heard the name mentioned a lot, but never knew where it was. Looks like a lot of fun, with other things to do beside gamble or drink. Rooms are nice, look comfortable. You didn't mention any restaurants but I imagine they must have one or two? (besides fast food?) I might try staying here for a few days my next trip to Nevada. Very happy to see that Greta got to see One Republic. It was also a little add-on for us as we got to see Zappos Theater. Another place I had never seen inside of, didn't realize it was so big. Thanks for the Orleans review! Helps people when trip planning to have a visual of where they are going.
We'd love to have you here! Here is a link to all of our dining: www.orleanscasino.com/dine

He works hard to create awesome vlogs yet get some complaints about it's too short, prices of everything, etc. It takes him hours to edit and add music, etc for these vlogs.
The music 🎵 is 👍 great !!!
It's crazy how many nice hotels are in vegas. The best of the best are in Vegas
I love the Orleans. I 've stayed there many times in standard rooms. I had no idea they had those fancy suites. Thanks for the video Pompsie
Stayed in that EXACT same standard room in April of this year! I adored that little shower window ❤️ The beds and pillows were firm, but the hotel had SO much charm. It’s a very chill place and I loved it
Great video! This place rocks! Their casino is great! I always win there!
I have stayed here a few times and enjoyed it. The standard rooms can stand updating but they are spacious. Don’t know if they still have the free shuttle that goes to the strip. We used that many times.
Thanks for choosing the Orleans, we appreciate your feedback. We do have a shuttle to the Strip. www.orleanscasino.com/stay/amenities/shuttle-service

Stayed there over 15 times since 2002. I would get free rooms, haven't stayed for last 3 years, no more free rooms, makes sense, right? Would pay the room losing money at slot machines. Basic rooms are best in Vegas. Surrounding areas kind of ...unsafe. Buffet the best, when compared in same price range. Movie theater, child care, arcade, bowling alley...it has everything and not go somewhere else, forgot the arena. So many memories 😧, was part of my kids childhood.
In Pompsi's defense he does point out the negatives in his reviews too. Even on comped rooms. He is pretty honest in my opinion and if you regularly watch his reviews, you will see . I was actually surprised that he said negative things about a room that was comped. I am sure that the hotels assume he will give them all positive reviews. And alot of times he does not get free rooms, he spends his own money. I don't know why anyone is hating on him but if you don't like his vids, don't watch them. I happen to like watching his vids and I love his girl, she has such a sweet personality and she is full of spunk and just seems so happy all the time. Well thats my opinion.
I think some people are too busy fangirling to understand the difference between constructive criticism and “hating” . Far better people say why a particular video didn’t work for them so Chris can understand ( and take notice or not, his choice :)) than just unsubscribe . It’s a business , telling people to shut up and don’t watch does no one any favours whether it’s about the algorithm or about creativity.
I wish he did that in tbis video. He needs to change the title to SPONSORED
@@OmarAcosta09 I didn't feel like he was over-hyping or ball-washing the property though, even showed a basic room to be fair.
@@SkyAndRetiring I've critiqued him before for reading Google in a video (Jacob too). It's a video, #ShowMe! A stan came at me for being negative.
@@grottorabbit you missed the point, as there was no criticism at all in this video, because as @shota(member of his team?) pointed out, he doesn't want to offend his host. A good video review has balanced points, negative and positive. Once you receive comps all credibility goes out the window. You notice it when he visits the standard room and blatantly ignores the out dated room, janky bathroom and dirty couch, instead he focuses an an awsome picture on the wall and a cool window in the shower......wow.
Been going there since it opened glad you guys were able to stay there and I like the small window in the shower one more thing I went there almost every day when I lived by UNLV
I LOVE those little windows in the shower. The Gold Coast has them too.
Seemed like a cool place. Think we will have to look into the new Orleans...thanks pompsie
Neon Sign Museum is fantastic, especially at night. Had my best friends wedding there.
