We timed it, and just in case you were wondering, the 360 degree rotation takes 14 minutes and 38.5 seconds--give or take the reaction time for the timer button after a few adult beverages.

Amanda ThauMay 6, 2017Yes, the bar rotates! Be patient and order a Fleur de Lis as you wait for a seat to open up!
Chris JNovember 12, 2014Smack dab in the middle of the French Quarter. Don't complain about small rooms or no jacuzzi; just go outside and experience New Orleans.

Carousel lounge. Get a room with a river view and try to wake up around sunrise to check it out.
Shawn DankoJanuary 29, 2015Make sure you stop for a drink while you go around and around on the Carousel bar.
