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

When you're staying in Vegas, I do recommend the El Cortez, but only if you stay in a Junior Cabana Suite, not in a Tower room. The Cabana Suites are across the street and nicer. I must say, this casino is very, very smoke-filled. The food is a good deal, very good breakfasts and very good prime rib if you... More

Stayed here on a Thurday and Friday night. I got a great price for the room, $21.00 a night. The room was located in the main tower and was very clean and spacious. Just remember, this is an older hotel so not modern no flat screen tv but it was fine for me. One block to catch the bus for... More

My wife and I recently stayed four nights at the El Cortez. We stayed in a Vintage room, directly above the casino floor. The price and location are amazing! It is an easy walk to the Fremont Street Experience, and there are about a dozen casinos within easy walking distance. The Vintage Room was spacious and clean; since our last... More
