When we got to the Orleans on a friends trip, we heard some ambient noises of crickets. 🦗 We were like "huh, that's cute! they have cricket noises because it's the Orleans!"
Once we layed down for a nap, the crickets grew louder and we called the front desk to ask them to "turn off the cricket noise". We were informed that they just have a cricket infestation and those are real crickets somewhere in the room.
I am not a bug person, never have been, never will. They make my skin crawl and I'm not great at tolerating them. I am working on this, but hearing them loudly was not going to work for me. We asked the front desk what we could do and she said they were full and we can "maybe ask for a discount" when we leave, but she can't promise anything.
After getting texts from our friends that they could hear our crickets from the hallway, we went down to the Front Desk to talk to them in person.
The person at the Front Desk was nice enough and put us on a higher floor to minimize the possibility of crickets.
We got to our new room, and felt safe enough until we saw a giant cricket on the wall. Like giant. Look up "mormon cricket" if you are wondering. We killed it, but then I found that my bed sheets were incredibly dirty at the foot of the bed. Like if someone layed down in the bed with work boots on.
On the last day of our stay, we saw a giant beetle crawling across the floor of the casino.
Is it cheap? Yes - kinda. But it is not worth it. You are so far from the strip. It is not clean. It just feels incredibly dirty. Beware.
