"Great stay, as usual!"

We had a blast here October 10-12, 2025. All of the staff here is fantastic - our favourites were Calvin at the front bar and Donna, the best cocktail waitress. There was a power outage while I was playing a machine on the first night, she was awesome and brought me a beverage since I had to wait for the attendants to come reset the machine. A while later, she managed to flag down Mickey for me, and he reset the machine. He was delightful as well. After all was said and done, my machine was back on (and winning again!) Calvin and Donna's smiling faces and friendly, attentive service were highlights of our stay. We stayed in a tower room again, although we were only on the 3rd floor this time with no view. No matter, the room was clean and we were only there to sleep and shower anyways. The coffee maker and fridge are excellent amenities, totally my favourite. My only disappointment this trip was that our stays are normally comped and this time we had to pay full price, even though I spent more than previous trips. They must have raised their comp thresholds since they completed all the beautiful new renovations. Also, we enjoyed the food options in and around the hotel. We spoke with the owner at the sushi place across the street both times we went, it is a well run, delicious spot, don't skip stopping there. The girl running the hot dog cart in the Cortez was lovely, as were the servers in Siegel's. Food in Siegels was awesome as well. Although other downtown casinos give better offers now, we would still likely return to the El Cortez for the excellent service provided to us. It's always SO MUCH FUN!

"First Timers at El Cortez!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed October 06, 2025 NEW
This was our first visit to El Cortez and we stayed for 3 nights in a Tower Room. We were pleasantly surprised when we rolled into the Hotel at midnight and found no line whatsoever at the front desk for check-in.. that has NEVER happened for us in all the years we have been coming to Vegas. The bigger Hotels always have a line no matter what time of day or night it seems. The Siegel's restaurant was great for breakfast the following morning.. it is just your typical restaurant with a "normal" menu and that is sometimes welcomed instead of too many exotic choices! However, if you're interested in a more exotic type menu definitely try the Eureka restaurant directly across the street from El Cortez, it was pretty impressive food and we will definitely go there again. I actually think it may be part of El Cortez but not 100% sure. The "Hot Noods" restaurant in the El Cortez was a really good option as well, we had the Chicken Chow Mein and Egg Rolls. There is also a Starbucks in the Hotel and they were an awesome and quick choice for a breakfast sandwich on 2 of the mornings that we were there. We never had to wait for a seat in any of the restaurants and that was very unusual for a Vegas Hotel.. we appreciated that very much! The gambling was fun at El Cortez and the games weren't as tight as some of the bigger Casinos in Vegas.. they allowed you to actually "play". Of course over the 3 days we put everything we won back into the machines, but that is typical unless you win something huge. We go to casinos on the regular and I would have to say that the El Cortez played and paid better than average. The room we stayed in was a nice room with a King size bed. It was one of the Tower rooms and we were very comfortable there. There was never a crowded elevator and it was easy to come and go to the room.. which we appreciated very much! The staff at the El Cortez were all 100% pleasant people.. my Husband and I both appreciated how friendly, accommodating and professional each and every staff member was. All in All we really had an awesome first vist to the El Cortez and I personally will stay there again.

"Great Time at the Casino!"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5
Reviewed September 18, 2025
We didn't stay at this hotel but we spent a couple of days there playing slots. My husband is a big fan of Vegas Matt and there was an event going on with a big drawing on Saturday. We were at El Cortez most of the day that Friday we were there, played for awhile on slots which was nice and then back on Saturday. El Cortez seemed to be the only place we could get play backs and play for awhile! It was very crowded the day of the drawings but that was expected. We met Vegas Matt, his son EJ, and their longtime friend WBG (Robert). My husband was happy and it was a great 50th birthday trip! We also met the owner Kenny Epstein. He is very friendly. Everytime he saw us he stopped to say hello. The restaurant in the casino has great food! The waitresses were very consistent on the floor to bring drinks while playing slots. The casino is clean and staff we interacted with were very nice. We will visit again!
