Our toom was in poor condtion: Loose tiles, flaking paint, and loose fixtures. Our room safe didn't work either. So, I had to beg the front desk and hotel security to get my safe to work. I got a LOT of excuses. I had to keep going to security begging for someone to reset my safe and had to sit in my room waiting and waiting for someome from security to show up. I did not spend a LOT of money to travel to Las Vegas, just to sit in my room waiting for Security to show up.They finally got my room safe working on the afternoon of the second day. Then the entire hotel lost their cold water all day on our second day. We had to fill a trash can full of hot water to dump into toilet to flush it. This also caused all casino food venues to close, as well as all the restrooms. I insisted that I should NOT have pay the "ammenities" fees (aka resort fees) for my first two days for the reasons mentioned above. Josie at the front desk agreed to not charge me ammenity fees for my first two days. When I checked out, my room bill seemed confusing and misleading, but I needed to get to the airport , so I couldn't haggle and get all my questions answered before we left. I have been checking my online visa card account and have discovered several mysterious hotel charges that don't make sense and they add up to MORE than than I should have to pay. And there have been NO Ammenity fee deductions. For all of the above reasons, I CANNOT recommend the El Cortez Hotel Casino.

It's not "free" parking when you have to pay a daily amenities fee. That's like saying give me $100,000 and I'll give you a FREE CAR! On Orbitz it said that the price included all fees and taxes. The daily fee I had to pay was NOT included and according to Louise at the front desk Orbitz doesn't collect that fee. It seems that all fees included should be all fees included except the ones we don't tell you about. Real disappointment with Orbitz. The room was noisey and the bathroom was ridiculously small and poorly laid out. You shouldn't have to step into the shower to close the frosted glass door to use the toilet. Also, that frosted glass door is a lot less than opaque, so don't expect any privacy if you're traveling with somebody else.

ROOMS TOO SMALL TO EVEN ACCOMODATE A CHAIR.

NEVER EVER STAY AT THE EL CORTEZ CABANA ROOMS. DON'T BELIEVE THEIR PICTURES. THE ROOM S ARE SO SMALL THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A CHAIR TO SIT. YOU HAVE TO DO ALL YOUR SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THE BED. THE ROOM SAFE DID NOT WORK AND IT TOOK TWO DAYS FOR SERVICE MEN TO COME TO MY ROOM AND SAY, "IT IS ONE OF THE OLD ONES AND IT WOULD NOT WORK." I ASKED TO PUT MY VALUABLES IN THEIR SAFE IN THE LOBBY. SORRY THEIR SAFE IS JUST FOR THEIR BUSINESS. I TOOK A CHANCE AND STORED MY VALUABLES IN THE SPARE TIRE AREA OF MY CAR. ALSO THE SMOKE ALARM WAS DISCONNECTED. IT TOOK 3 DAYS FOR A SERVICE MAN TO REMEDY THAT. I ASKED FOR A BIGGER ROOM AS I AM STAGE 3 LUNG CANCER. ONLY IF I CAME UP WITH ANOTHER $30-40 PER NIGHT. FINALLY THE MATTRESS WAS VERY OLD AND LUMPY. IT WAS HARD TO FIND THE RIGHT WAY TO ADJUST MY BODY TO CONFORM TO THAT MATTRESS. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. THIS ROOM WOULD NOT BE WORTH IT FOR FREE. DON'T BOOK THE EL CORTEZ CABANA ROOMS ON A BET. P.S. MY BUDDY GOT AN IDENTICAL ROOM ONE FLOOR ABOVE MINE. HE TOO HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY WITH SLOW INTERNET AND A ROOM SAFE THAT ALSO DID NOT WORK. WE GO TO VEGAS ONCE A YEAR, WE WILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN.
