Just a few miles west of the Strip on busy Tropicana Avenue, the Orleans Hotel and Casino has long offered a multitude of entertainment options at its showroom, lounge-style venues and the adjacent 9,500-capacity Orleans Arena. Only since December has the Boyd Gaming property dipped into a different but familiar kind of Vegas entertainment.

After partnering with local company Ivory Star Productions, the Orleans converted a multipurpose space into The Venue, now functioning as two distinct, intimate entertainment spaces hosting – as of this week – four different production shows.

“We had been focused on what we can do in the showroom and within the arena, and a lot of those things can get quite costly. Our venues are just too big to have a long-standing show,” said Laura Delacruz, regional vice president of marketing for Boyd.
