"2nd time here"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 21, 2026 NEW
My other review was when we just played slots and didn't stay at the hotel. This time we decided to stay. We stayed in a Premium Tower Room with a mountain view, and the room was better than we expected. It was very spacious, clean, and we really appreciated the vinyl flooring instead of carpet. I was a little concerned it might smell like smoke, but there was no smoke smell at all. The bathroom was large with a roomy walk-in shower, and the bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows. We stayed for three nights and were never bothered by noise — it was quiet the entire time. Having a Starbucks and a gift shop on-site was convenient for morning coffee and late-night snacks. We ate at Siegel’s Restaurant our first night. The food was great, but the service was a bit slow. After being seated, it took about 10–15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us, which was frustrating, especially since servers walked by without saying anything. We also noticed several tables needed to be cleared, while hostesses seemed to wander around or stand up front instead of helping. I even wanted to say, “Go clean that table!” haha. That might explain why the wait staff seemed stretched thin. That said, we had the Prime Rib special for $19.99 on two nights, and it was excellent. We also had breakfast one morning, and Jorge was our waiter — he was incredibly friendly and very attentive. Slots: We pretty much stayed on-site the whole time playing slots because the playbacks kept us going. On our last night, I hit two jackpots — one on a $3 bet and a larger one on a $1 bet! Staff: Adam, the manager, is always friendly and personable. We spoke with several employees on the casino floor who have worked there for 40 years or more, which says a lot about how well they’re treated. Everyone was nice, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant. Overall, we had a great stay and will definitely stay here again.

"Use the boarding pass deal for free play"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 19, 2026 NEW
We didn’t stay here (yet! but we will!). We come here to splash and to specifically make use of their generous boarding pass free play. If you show them your recent Southwest Airlines boarding pass and you have or get a players club card, you get a free drink, slot play and a $25 match play for blackjack. So far we are 3 for 3 on BJ winnings on their money. We really loved the new look of the casino. Nicely done remodel! And they kept the coin in machines, love that so much! We will be back and will stay in one of the original rooms next time!

"Another perfect stay. But where are $10 tables?"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 19, 2026 NEW
My friend and I stayed in the Original.47 rooms. It was a lovely and pristine room. Expertly cleaned and maintained. Check In was smooth and I am again grateful that they explain the deposit charge and also explain how you can redeem your comp offers. I've never had any stress or bogus charges! The renovations to the hotel are also lovely, and the casino was packed on Saturday, making it hard to find an open seat at the black jack tables. I wish there were still $10 tables. We had to go to Jerry's Nugget to actually gamble!

Classic older property. Lots of Vegas history. Played the slots, lost and won. Siegels 1941 is the best restaurant for their Roast Beef special, bar none.

"Very Disappointed- Over “The El”"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 08, 2026 NEW
SO disappointing, my family and I have stayed here for 3 generations starting with my Grandmother and I came with her as a little girl. When visiting Vegas we always stay a couple of nites at “the El” for nostalgia. We booked two nites in a Cabana Suite (have stayed here before). The Valet, Bellman and check-in were all wonderful. Our room was on the 3rd floor with a view of the parking structure. The room lights were so dim you definitely can’t read, bed very uncomfortable and only 3 flat pillows on a King Bed. Barely anywhere to store clothes/belongings NO drawers, only “Cubbies” and about 4 hangers. Tiny Fridge without a shelf. A decent safe. Hot water and shower were excellent! We probably stayed on a bad night as a huge truck pumping ?? From 2-2:30 am woke us and was horrid till it stopped. Lots of homeless people screaming on the street during the nite too. Not happy with the casino ( we probably saved money!!) so didn’t do our regular video poker playing at the bar. Guess “ Grannie has left the El” 😔
