I know El Cortez is in a not particularly desirable location but if you only want a clean room for a fair price, you can't beat it! They always treat me nice from the bellman, front desk, to the restaraunt! They seem to remember my face and I honestly believe my comps add up there more than any other casino.... more

My friend and I travel to Vegas 2-3 times a year and always said that we would try the El Cortez one time, because we always go there to play, but have never stayed because we couldn't find a package that included this Hotel as part of the package. Finally, we saw a great deal for air only and booked... more

We stayed in a vintage room in the original building, which I believe was built in 1942. We were on the top floor, right behind the... more

Stayed 2 nights Oct.11-13. Had a Vintage room, small(but all the space I needed), clean and at a great price. Hope to come back and do it all over again. more

We found this hotel while searching for a cheap place to stay during our trip to Las Vegas. The hotel is located in the Las Vegas UpTown and the main strip is very accessible from here via public transport. Staying here have us the opportunity to explore the Las Vegas uptown, which many travellers skip. The hotel is very cost... more

Old fashioned casino, with lots of red copper and red carpets. Rooms are pretty small, but otherwise cosy furnished. Entrance looks very nice when looking to it from teh Las Vegas Boulevard. However, although located at Fremont Street, the walking distance to the busier covered part of Fremont Street is longer then is the case with other down town hotels.... more
