In 2003 the Orleans Las Vegas arena was completed and this can be turned into an ice rink. These proved to be a successful addition with other additions being added in later years.
By 1999 other amenities were added and the casino renovated and made larger. First opened in 1996 it did not initially live up to owners expectations.
This casino is owned and operated by Boyd Gaming and has a sister casino the Gold Coast Hotel and casino on the Strip. Located at 4500 Tropicana Avenue is the Orleans Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
