 I do not understand the negative reviews of the El Cortez Hotel. I have just returned from a great weekend stay at the El Cortez, and I consider it a five star hotel. You can keep any high end hotel on the Strip. The only minor drawback against the El Cortez is its location on the far eastern end of downtown. It is a good walk to get to the other casinos. But the El Cortez is fairly self contained and offers many fine amenities, like the 24 hour ice cream bar. The El Cortez management must like my golfing buddy Silent Jon, who was comped on the room thanks to his slot club card. Turns out they gave him a penthouse suite, with two separate sleeping quarters and a Jacuzzi built in the master suite. The Jacuzzi got a real workout from me after a round of golf in very hot weather. The suite also included television sets in both sleeping quarters.
We got very lucky on the low level crap table. Silent Jon and I have a tag team arrangement at the crap table, in which we each kick in 20 bucks, we each take a roll, and divide the proceeds afterwards. I stunk, but Silent Jon reinforced his reputation as a Midas at the table. He held the dice for at least 50 minutes, hitting every conceivable gimmick including a parlayed hard eight. There was a real sense of excitement at the table, much of it coming from a guy who was a dead ringer for Laurence Fishburne, and a young girl who could pass for Christina Ricci. She was emotionally overcome when the hard eights came up. She benefited greatly. Laurence Fishburne walked with at least $3,000. "I LOVE YOU, MIDAS!" he said over and over again. The El Cortez cannot be beat for low level escitement. By the time Silent Jon rolled his seven out, we walked with almost 900 bucks. Thanks to the El Cortez, we had 450 each the first night. I made certain that I did not gamble away all of the profits.
The food is very good, the suite was the most comfortable I have ever experienced downtown, and I truly enjoyed the experience at the El Cortez crap table. Obviously there are some people who hate this place, but some others who love it. I have nothing to complain about.

They are in the the right locate and they have a wonderful hotel and great rates.
the machines do pay off. what more could anyone say. The hotel and casino is a nice
place to stay. You can go to the main strip or you can just and enjoy the El Cortez
and the other casino around the El Cortez.

I would sooner get food poisoning and a migraine headache at the same time then ever stay downtown again! The whole area is depressing. If you are so poor or have so little pride that you do end up staying downtown, don't bring a camera because your friends and family won't want to see the pictures. What a cess pool. The whole area stunk like a construction site porta potty in the hot Vegas sun

Yes this hotel is Family friendly, they do have an Arcade, and provide transportation to family places for free. The Casino is the best, friendliest I have seen on my many visits to Las Vegas. It is true about the Graveyard Cocktail service, dont expect a drink often, Other then that I give 2 thumbs up!!!

THE HOTEL ROOMS THEMSELVES ARE ONLY FAIR AT THE MOST HAVING JUST BUDGET ACCOMADATIONS. THE ROOMS HAVE TELEVISIONS WITH BASIC CABLE PROVIDED. ALL THOUGH NO OTHER SPECIAL AMMENITIES ARE PROVIDED, THE ROOMS ARE CLEAN AND RATES ARE VERY RESONABLE. THE CASINO IS VERY LARGE WITH A VARIETY OF ALL THE FAVORITE VEGAS GAMES. THE CASINO SERVICE IS HIT AND MISS, SOME OF THE STAFF ARE VERY HELPFUL INDEED AND OTHERS ACTED AS THOUGH THE CUSTOMERS ARE A HENDERENCE. COCKTAIL SERVICE AT MOST TIMES IS VERY GOOD EXCEPT THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT DON'T PLAN ON GETTING MANY DRINKS VERY OFTEN. I NOTICED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF JACKPOTS WON AND EVEN ON SMALL JACKPOTS THE STAFF MAKES YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE A WINNER BY TAKING YOUR PICTURE TO PUT ON THEIR JACKPOT WINNERS WALL WHICH I NOTICED TO BE QUITE FILLED UP WITH PICTURES. THE CASINO IS VERY OLD BUT IS KEPT CLEAN TO THE BEST OF THE STAFFS ABILITY ALTHOUGH THE CASINO DOES NOT HAVE A CLEAN APPPEARANCE. THE ODDS OF WINNING YOU HAVE AT THIS CASINO I BELIEVE FAR OUTWEIGH THE APPEARANCE OF THE CASINO. THIS CASINO IS A LOCALS PLACE TO PLAY AND FROM THE CUSTOMERS I SPOKE WITH VERY LOCALS OUTWEIGH THE TOURISTS IN ATTENDANCE. AS ANY HOTEL IN DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR CHILDREN AS THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WONDER THE CASINO AND THEIR IS NOT AN ARCADE. IF YOU PLAN TO GAMBLE ON THE STRIP BUT WANT TO STAY DOWNTOWN FOR BECAUSE OF THE PRICE OF ROOMS I RECOMMEND THE OGDEN HOUSE DIRECTLY LOCATED ON OGDEN STREET BEHIND THE EL CORTEZ AS THEY HAVE NO CASINO AND IT IS JUST A PLACE TO SLEEP. THE OVERALL DINING EXPERIANCE WAS FAIR. THE FOOD AND SERICE O.K. BUT IS NO PLACE TO ENJOY A GOURMET DINING EXPERIANCE. I RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL BECAUSE OF IT'S VALUE.

I stayed here about 3 months ago when I went to Las Vegas. What a mistake- you want to be on the strip. I guess a lot of people know that, but I hadn't been there before and I thought 'downtown' sounded like the place to be. Its not. Go directly to the strip, do not stop downtown!!
