  • El Cortez Hotel & Casino: Classic Vegas !

    El Cortez is a Vegas time *******. It's a reflection of the good old days in Vegas with a little soul and history intact. The hotel is just off The Fremont Experience so it is close enough to walk to in comfort and safety and far enough away from the noise to get a little peace. The entire staff is extremely friendly, courteous and helpful.

    The casino area is decently sized and quaint with plenty of good slots, table games and an understated but very functional sports book. The restaurants on-site offer very good value and quality. The rooms are very adequate for what I want to do - sleep in comfort when too beat to game.

    The floor cocktail waitresses are efficient as are the bartenders and the drinks are stout. The presence of the owner, Jackie Gaughan, is reminiscent of Vegas-past where management took an interest in their guests. The El Cortez is a very special place rich in tradition and offering a great value downtown.

    Would I take my wife there? Maybe not for a week but a weekend hop, sure. It's great for the guys and those on a budget. It's also nice to be treated like a high-roller even if you are not. This is classic Vegas, baby. Catch it before it is gone and we're left at the mercy of the faceless Strip behemoths who gut everything of any real value.
