Room was very dirty. It looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed in a very long time. There were no wash cloths or hand towels in my room. Called housekeeping and the front desk requesting wash cloths and towels. They were never delivered.

Hot showers, very nice rooms, lots of good dining

The room was large and modern we were pleasantly surprised. We used bell service they were amazing unloaded car onto a cart and put everything in our room then upon leaving loaded everything from our room into our car… free valet service really I’ve never heard of that before but it’s true and they are so friendly any time we needed the car they got it with a smile. Housekeeping was great we asked for extra coffee and they obliged. Checkout was easy friendly and fast.

Did not like airport shuttle policy. Hotel will not pick up but only drop off. And, shuttle does not operate until 7 am.

Staff very polite

It was very nice !!

The hotel could not get the air in the room to work properly, also the shower door handle was broke off and they never fixed it, and it was on the noisy side. But if you do like the old and vintage side of Vegas, El Cortez does provide that.

It was very close to Fremont where the party is at!

I like that it's near the Fremont Experience, but just far enough that you didn't hear all the music. The bars are great. Staff is friendly.

I love staying at the El Cortez and do each time I come to Las Vegas

The service is not good

Favorite place to stay in Vegas.

Clean room. Friendly staff. Check in and out was smooth. No issues with room

Located in down town LV near Fremont St. Free shuttle to North Premium Outlet.

I like the old casino feeling

Luv El Cortez

Second stay this week for a different business assignment. Stayed in the south tower again (forget what El Cortez calls it) and it was again a nice-sized room with comfortable beds, mini-fridge, good bathroom (this one with much brighter lighting than room 5562 earlier in the week). Also like the parking structure as it has plenty of spaces. Construction on street so entrance may change from time to time; it did during my stay. Again, like having a security guard check incoming vehicles for legitimate reason to enter, though realistically this is a minor deterrent. Again, not a fan of resort fees though every place in Vegas seems to have them. Didn't want to AirBnB it this time as EC was closest to my business assignment.

El Cortez is definitely one of the most unique places in Vegas. Dining options are slightly above average. Ichiban (across the street) and Siegel's were tasty and affordable. I really enjoyed the vibe and energy in the casino. The crowd and dealers are a fun mix of locals/partiers/random Fremont stragglers. I stayed in the "Original 47", which was small and a lil' noisy (can hear the music bumping a lil' at night), but was clean/new and had a lot of character. Proximity to Fremont Street was great. I really enjoyed exploring all of the casinos. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by my Downtown affordable fun stay.

The cabana suites are separate from the casino so they’re quiet, clean, no smoke, and tidy chic rooms. Walkable to Fremont easily. Would stay again!
