Great Stay at El Cortez. Right there Downtown on Freemont. I love how the rooms were clean & inexpensive, nice staff, & Great location. I will stay there again & recommend the El Cortez to any of my friends who's looking for a bargain.

I've stayed in the Tower Rooms several times at the El Cortez and still strongly believe the Tower Rooms are the best deal in Las Vegas. In my last stay, I found out that the 11th and 12th floors have been updated. The 11th and 12th floors now have flat screen televisions, refrigerators and new mattresses. The bed was an... More

I have stayed many times at this downtown Las Vegas institution. I recommend staying across the street in their Cabana suites...very modern with a great shower...no tub. The staff can be hit or miss. Some are very friendly, some not so much. The casino is small and easy to navigate and the video poker here is good. I especially enjoy... More

Check-in was a breeze, the receptionist was friendly and helpful, pointing out several events that were taking place in Vegas that weekend. The room, although slightly dated, was large, bright and clean. We had a terrific meal in the restaurant. The El Cortez is right on Freemont St., so is central to casinos, bars, restaurants and all kinds of entertainment.... More

The room was fine, the food good, the hotel itself was good but beware requesting a refund of your deposit. When checking out to get our deposit back we were berated in front of a lobby full of people after the manager found out that the hotel had made the mistake. I guess he had to make us look worse...

Our second stay in Las Vegas was awsome as the first. We stayed at the el Cortez and saved a bundle. Within walking distance of the Fremont St Experience. The staff was helpful and friendly. I think the room was bigger than the one we stayed in @ the Luxor. The in house restaurant was delicious and very reasonable. We'd... More

My wife and I spent 4 wonderful days at the El Cortez. The food was excellent. They gave us a suite, not just a room, and it was beautiful. The hotel has just been recently remodeled, we thought it was very nice. We spend a lot of our time shopping throughout Las Vegas, so we don't miss a pool which... More

We stayed in the Tower on our last visit, so I chose the Pavilion this time just to be able to compare. They are the original rooms, and are more or less what you'd expect from any hotel chain. They have gone to the effort to paint them in true vintage colors, and upgraded the bathroom fixtures. I was on... More

The El Cortez is not an all-inclusive Vegas spa resort. Nor, for that matter, is it even somewhere you’d want to stay for more than a few days if amenities like a pool and a gym facility are necessary to your vacation or business trip bliss. However, the El Cortez is a fascinating little piece of Vegas history you can... More
