Staff could have been a little nicer by explaining somethings like the elevator needs a key to go up, also after expressing this special occasion I thought that the staff would have shown some type of expression but NOT!! The house keeping was aswome! eveyday when we arrived back to our room it was very clean

Happy with Stay
I felt like we chose wisely. The El Cortez is directly across the street from Old Downtown Las Vegas. We were very happy with our stay.

Great Group Gettaway!
We Booked several rooms here because of cost. We were pleasantly surprised with the Tower rooms and a few of us even had a view of the strip from our windows! The staff was very pleasant and helpful and there was securtiy guards in garage as well as Hotel especially late at night. The walk to Fremont St was short and it felt safe. We'd definately go back...considering the cost in Vegas, You Can't Lose! (no pun intended ) lol

Had a fantastic time!
Staff, location, comfort and cleanliness were excellent. Not the Taj Mahal, but, for the value, a good place to crash. Rented a car for a week to visit some of the Station Casinos, but found ourselves spending most of our time downstairs, at the El Cortez casino. Very "gambler friendly.." We'll be back in a few months!

Good experience
No complaints except the bed. Like sleeping on a rock! We slayed in the old section of the hotel, maybe the beds are softer in the newer section. Room was clean and kind of nostalgic. Couldn't have been in a better location and the food and staff were great
