Orleans Player Room Review
Omaha Hi/Low anytime -- day or night!
01/07/07, Player: djgoldie
Total Rating: 3.00
Room Quality Rating: 4
Room Quality Description: Clean, smoothly run, very large poker room catering mostly to locals but with a good complement of tourists who stay at this quality and great value casino/hotel. Average but adequate tables and chairs with plenty of room to walk between tables. The poker room is located very conveniently to a side entrance and across from a couple of fast food outlets (Subway is one) and near the restrooms. It is not subjected to too much noise from the rest of the casino as it tucked away in the back of the casino, beyond the busy restarants and main gambling area. The only real negative is the "know-it-all" type attitude on the part of one or two of the men I played with -- explaining to others and criticizing freely. Most of the people were there to pass the time and many seemed to be enjoying themselves and not tolerant of the know-it-alls, who were eventually sanctioned by management. All in all, an enjoyable and higher level poker experience and a good place to learn and to play, especially to play Omaha hi low day or night.
Competition Rating: 1
Competition Description: Many local regulars, many but not all of whom are "rocks". Locals to tourists ratio was reported by the poker room's managment to be about 60/40, but I would say it was closer to 80/20, particularly in the Omaha 8 or better (hi/low) $4/8 game. I saw the same group of older people, mostly men playing every day of the 7 days I stayed there. There were more tourists at night. Competition was tough, but not impossible for a knowledgable and competent player -- don't need to be an expert.
Dealer Rating: 2
Dealer Description: Dealers not particularly competent. I saw many examples of misread hands and other mistakes.
Cocktail Rating: 4
Cocktail Description: The Oleans cocktail waitresses wear very revealing outfits with push up bustiers designed to greatly enhance their "assets". Some were downright falling out of the outfits. And their backsides are merely covered in tights. Service is adequate, but not outstanding.
Management Rating: 5
Management Description: Extremely well managed. Mangement walked around, making sure everything was in order, and taking away trash and used glasses, chip trays etc. They managed the computerized sign-up board efficiently and swiped players in and out for their comps. New tables were started quickly once the lists warrented. Tables were kept balanced and players kept in line.
Comps Rating: 1
Comps Description: Use the special card easily obtained at the poker room to clock in and out and you'll receive $1/hr for the first 6 hours and then 50cents thereafter, which you can use in any of the restarants or against your room charges. There is a nice bad beat jackpot. Poker room rate is 20 percent discount off the rate at which you book your room and can be obtained once you're there -- requiring 4 hours play per day.
