In spite of several of the photos and minor criticisms I will include, in honesty I would stay here again in a heartbeat. We were fortunate enough to get a "Strip View" room (there are very few, so request early if you want one) and virtually every part of our stay was positive.
The room was clean, spacious, quiet, and well-appointed: deck/patio with table and two chairs, full kitchen, large bathroom with jetted tub, washer and dryer, iron and ironing board, fireplace (not needed as Vegas temps reached 116!), tv in the living room and bedroom, DVD player in living room, as well as a small stereo.
With the exception of one concierge who was brusque, everyone was friendly and helpful. Parking is plentiful, covered, and patrolled by a security guard
Complimentary waffles and sausages were served for breakfast Saturday, Sunday, and Thursday. The shuttle to the strip is a great service, and, not to be missed, for $2.00 per person (cheaper than if you take your own car): the guided trip to Red Rocks on an air conditioned bus, by the knowlegeable and amiable driver/guide, Norm.
The minor criticisms: A surpising number of things seemed out of order and were not dealt with during the week we stayed. In fairness, none of these bothered me, as I wasn't interested in using any of them, but it seems like these should be addressed more quickly. All not working: one excercise machine, the lobby computer for guest usage, the DVD rental machine, and the water fountain at the pool. Also, as it was windy, the pool collected a lot of leaves and other tree debris, and by afternoon, the pool surface needed cleaning. The pool is not supervised (no life guard), but it is open 24/7, which is convenient, especially on warm or hot nights. At The Orleans, by contrast, the pool closes at 8:00 pm, which seems awfully early, and that is true at many of the strip casinos also.
In all, we enjoyed staying off the strip. You are only 2 miles from NY, NY / Excalibur / MGM Grand etc., 20 minutes from Red Rocks, and less than an hour from Mt. Charleston.
Top flight? No. Perfect? No. But we liked it very well and it made our stay in Las Vegas all the more enjoyable.
