Stayed here for the first time last month and I'm not sure how to review it. First off it's a cool old school casino and didn't expect to much from the room but figured why not it's only for 1 night. Upon arriving at my room I was surprised at how large it was, most downtown are pretty tight. The... More

Cons- Downtown Las Vegas, and you had to walk through a smoky casino to get to the vintage rooms on the 1st floor. They also had a slightly smoky smell.Downside with vintage rooms are they are small with no view from a small window and obviously older than the other rooms. Well the rooms and sleep was far better than... More

I had a smoking room that was handy to the casino. no chair or table, $11.95/day for wifi, good bed. wish they and others would get rid of bathtubs. no food court/ just subway. food is ok, chinese good, breakfast taters bad. everything I ate had a little chinese influance in it. the floor people and wait staff are good....

We got a great deal on Hotels.com! So we thought... At check in, we were informed that the hotel was over booked and that we were being DOWNGRADED! I booked the tower room based on TripAdvisor member reviews. These rooms had been remodeled and made this deal worth it! The room we were put in, the Vintage rooms, were awful,... More

The El Cortez is within a couple of blocks away from the "old" section in Las Vegas (downtown). The rooms were large/clean/green. Nice large parking structure w/out having to hike a million miles to enter the main casino/hotel lobby. The rates were reasonable (free w/Curt's comp) + a variety of places to eat. This is nice when you want to... More

I make sure to stay at the El Cortez every year the first week of March Madness. This is vintage Vegas style. The staff are the same nice folk everytime I come, and the Sports Book is a gem and worth coming into to place bets-and watch games on their tv's or the horses are always on. The Casino has... More

I stayed 4 nights at the El Cortez for less than I'd pay for 1 night at some hotels. We stayed in the tower rooms, on the 10th floor. I absolutely loved the room. The couch was a great bonus. The view was beautiful. The bed was pretty comfortable, and the pillows were the best! The room was spacious overall.... More

April 17 - 24, 2012 in room 209 in the Tower. Room was ok overall with some nice touches - much like the photos on the hotel website. Pros: good sized room, nice area to sit with a love seat and coffee table, seperate sink and toilet/tub area. Large safe. Nice desk. Solid wooden furniture. Key for the door always... More

Please don't expect any room service for the price of the room, they don't even have bottle opener to borrowed, however the location is prime. 1 min walk to Heart Attack Burger and Fremont Disctrict. The bus to the Strip is right next door, pay $7 a day or $20 for 3 days, it can take you to any stop... More
