Prime Rib Loft (The), Las Vegas

I noticed that all of the reviews on here seem to be for the hotel, not the restaurant so I thought I would put my two cents in on we are actually SUPPOSED to be reviewing. ;-) We were staying at the Orleans and had a friend fly in for the day. He had heard that there was great prime rib at our hotel so we made a reservation. I've never really been a big fan of prime rib and now I know it is only because I have never had a proper cut, properly prepared. The restaurant itself seems rather upscale, yet the prices are very reasonable and they do not have a dress code. Good news for me since it is August in Vegas and all I packed were tank tops and shorts. :-) The experience was so good that we went back a second time. My husband and I both go the Orleans cut, which is a 10 oz portion. My husband had his blackened but I had it the old fashioned way. It was a wonderful, melt in your mouth experience. The garlic mashed potatoes were yummy and their cream of onion soup was divine!! And don't fill up on the bread kids! Save that for when the prime rib comes because there is enough au jus to dip two of the healthy bread slices into, topping off the meal. The food both times was really good but the second time we went there I have to say they seemed a bit understaffed. The service was slow and although the staff was not rude, they could have been friendlier. Having said that, it was still a good time and we would definitely go back.

Being in Vegas for my daughters tournament I specifically booked The Orleans because of the bowling alley, movie theater and arcade. My kids kept themselves entertained while the hubby and I gambled or rested. Room was very spacious for 4 semi-adults. Security up to the rooms was excellent and a great value for the amount we paid. Would have liked a mini fridge in the room other than that, it was great.

Have been to Vegas many times but this was my first visit to The Orleans. The reviews I had read were the main reason for staying there and the price was the second. This hotel is great. The room was wonderful, clean and comfortable and quiet. We were close enough to the strip to drive to enjoy what it has to offer but far enough away to not get all the crowds. The food was excellent, as well as all the staff. We were able to get into our room hours earlier than normal check-in and the bell desk had our luggage up to the room within minutes. Was impressed with the amount of security on the casino floor at all hours of the day and night. Will go back there in a heartbeat.
