How to plan a family stay — tips and what to check before you go
Confirm the spa and fitness age rules if teens in your party are close to the minimum age; Spa Orleans explicitly prohibits guests under 18. Verify current pool hours and whether the pool area is open — the pool is seasonal and may close for renovation or winter dates.
If you need transport options, confirm any shuttle service directly with the property; some third-party listings conflict about whether the free shuttle is running. For airport transfers or trips to the Strip, taxis, ride-hail services and public buses (RTC routes stop nearby) are reliable alternatives.
- Double-check pool open/renovation dates before travel
- Confirm whether any complimentary shuttle is operating (status can change)
- Call Spa Orleans in advance to reserve treatments (spa hours Thu–Sun)
