Friendly and helpful staff. Room is clean and comfortable. I repeatedly stay at this hotel. In fact, I am going there again this week. Review of environmental aspects: They use the small bottles that use a lot of packaging instead of bulk dispensers for their bathroom amenities (shower, shampoo, soap). Their towel service is by request: if the towel is... more

I stayed at the El Cortez for 3 nights, I had a group rate and the price was worth every penny. I had a King Tower room, I didn't have a view (well, it was of the A/C and the roof), but the room was very nice. The king bed was ok, with very soft pillows. There was a small... more

No Frills Vegas Run, My husband and I in our mid fourties needed to make a weekend run to Vegas for some business and wanted to find a cheap clean place to stay. It was Barret Jackson weekend and rates were high so, based on reviews we read here we tried the El Cortez.. At under 70 dollars a night... more

This is my 5th time in Vegas...1st time on Freemont Street. After looking at numerous reviews we decided to stay at the El Cortez. The staff was so unenthusiastic. Housekeeping was the worst I have ever seen...possibly understaffed. Food was ok. I will have to say we felt very safe...as far as the area. We would not go back more

Booking through hotel.com was a breeze. The El Cortez is situated a block from the Fremont Street Experience which means it is quieter and less frenetic. I stayed at a Vintage Room which has the cheapest rate. Sure, you have to lug your bags up a short flight of stairs but the room is big (2 queen size beds) and... more

I lived in Las Vegas for over 20 years, and recently stayed in the El Cortez to be with family for a family wedding. I was quite surprised at how nice our room and the overall experience were. The El Cortez brought in new management a while back you can tell- bit by bit they are upgrading the property. The... more

I have stayed at the hotel from: Aug. 14-21, 2007. We were 3 people staying in the room. My first impression is that the room was a pretty decent size for 2 queen beds (PAVILION 2 QUEENS). The Bathroom was okay in cleanness & was small... basically you open the door & the toilet is on the right & the... more

We will never ever go back to the El Cortez, a real dump. The food is pure pig slop and the management are thugs in cheap suits. We will pay more next time and stay on the strip. The El Cortez is in a dangerous area and dangerous people wander in and out of the casino at all times. What... more

What a pleasant surprise! Our first vacation in 12 years, and we came to town for a big convention. While our friends were spending $200 a night on the Strip, my wife booked us online - round-trip flights from Denver and three nights @ the ElCo for less than $190.00 each. Do the math! We didn't do much except sleep... more
