The Orleans is ahotel andcasino located inParadise,Nevada, near theLas Vegas Strip. It is owned and operated byBoyd Gaming. It includes the large multipurposeOrleans Arena that can be converted into anice rink and can seat 9,000 attendees.[3] The Orleans Ice Rink is the former home of theLas Vegas Wranglers, a minor leagueice hockey team that played in theECHL from 2003 until 2014.
Though The Orleans attracts a fair number oftourists, particularly during theMr. Olympia contest, it is primarily considered to be alocals 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 propertyGold Coast Hotel and Casino andThe Linq.
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.
TheOrleans 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 comedianGeorge Carlin, on June 15, 2008.[8][9]
