TOP VEGAS HOT SPOT

Orleans

4500 W. Tropicana Ave

What you see depends on where you decide to order your drinks in this Mardi Gras-themed spot on Tropicana Avenue, but you're guaranteed to see folds, curves, cheeks and v-lines as Orleans seems to like their cocktail waitresses large and their cocktail costumes small. The model wanna-bes are stationed at the Alligator Bar by the Baccarat tables. The Taiwanese rollers that play there like a little silicone and loose locks with their Bacardi's. The Mardi Gras Bar, between the $5 blackjack tables and sports book, shows off a mixed bag of shapely women in sheer black stockings and overweight women with overflowing bodices. From there, it's on to the Crawfish Bar and Sports Bar where stomachs and box-shaped hips are de rigueur. Black hose, thong bottoms, and scaly corsets with wonder bra supports that would capture even Victoria's curiosity win the Las Vegas cocktail costume competition for this expert. Stilettos are out; wouldn't want that martini on my lap, but bikini waxes are required here. The Orleans, 702-365-7111.
