The El Cortez is not an all-inclusive Vegas spa resort. Nor, for that matter, is it even somewhere you’d want to stay for more than a few days if amenities like a pool and a gym facility are necessary to your vacation or business trip bliss. However, the El Cortez is a fascinating little piece of Vegas history you can... More

Thought I was getting a nice room booking a Pavillion Room, but the pictures are nicer and more spacious looking than the actual rooms. It was nice to have the security of a keyed entry to the floor being the elevator required a room key to get to the 5th floor. But, over all, an average room. No dog this... More

Check in was hassle free and parking easy. Located by Fremont District. Overall stay very pleasant. would definitely recommend this place to anybody going to Vegas and wanting to visit the downtown area. Felt safe people were having a good time. The room was clean and large. The casino and restaurants we're good definitely looking forward to staying here again.... More

I stayed in a Vintage room at the El Cortez the first week in May, 2013. The Vintage rooms are part of the original hotel - literally just up the stairs from the casino. (There is no elevator.) For the money, perfectly acceptable. I paid twenty-something per night. Here's where I manage your expectations a bit. It's a great deal,... More

First time I stayed here was Thanksgiving. Came back in April with my wife and met friends. This is a jewel. Not as crowded as the strip but just a comfortable. Gambling is good with loose slots. Their restaurants are very good. Rooms, we stayed in the Pavillion, are excellent. Fremont street is within walking distance and if you've never... More

Music from Fremont St. started around 8 Pm from at least 3 to 4 bands playing the same time and went on till actually 2 AM. Stumbled down to Reception... More

The casino has been updated and was fun to be in. The pavillion rooms are on the 5th floor above the parking structure. The pictures online show updated rooms with a flat screen TV but the actual TV is an old tube TV. There was a 1/2 inch gap all around the door where all the noise from Fremont St... More

No lines at check in. Complementary gifts, nice clean room and easy parking. Great prices and good gambling. The room was a little out dated but very clean and I slept great. I would definitely stay here again!

Stayed for five nights in mid April. Booked a vintage room and received a double upgrade to a tower room. The room was spacious and clean. While a bit dated, that is part of the charm of the El Cortez. Staff were friendly and maid service was good. Only challenge was the shutting down of portions of the casino over... More
