"Old School Gangsta With Flair"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

The location was perfect - a block away from the lights of Fremont Street and four blocks away from the Mob museum. The tower room we were in was very quiet, clean, and oh so comfortable. The staff were informative and very friendly and you could tell they were like family to each other. When we were having problems with a thermostat setting their staff maintenance was there at 11pm to fix it, quicker than we could even expect. The view of the mountains from our window was beautiful. The room was very basic - a place to shower, grab a k-cup of coffee, rest, then venture out again. There were multiple restaurants to pick from, and our servings were quality and fairly reasonably priced with large shareable portions. Slots are slots are slots; nothing much I can say about them, to be honest. They did have a nice selection of video poker machines however.

"Improved downtown property"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

I just stayed three nights in a Tower room at the El Cortez. The rooms are very large and comfortable. Ask for a Mountain View room as they are quieter. Don’t expect a high end strip room but if you are a downtown fan like me, the El Cortez is a perfect spot. It’s just two blocks to the Fremont Street craziness so it’s nice to be part of the downtown experience but to get away from it as well. They have made some wonderful improvements with new bars, registration desk and they are currently redoing the entry bar. The dealers are friendly. The table minimums were $15 all the time and I was there during the week. The loss of $10 tables, at least in the morning and afternoon is my only negative comment. The Siegels restaurant has good value and great food, particularly breakfast and the Prime Rib special. The Siegels waiter Jorge is fabulous and provides wonderful service.

"Great Staff & Location"

Reviewed November 02, 2025
I love Fremont Street, offers so much more than the strip price wise. Found a $8-00 per day bus ticket which meant I could go anywhere very cheap. The Steak House is very good and with very good player point program had 3 free meals. I highly recommend the Spa I went twice and Molly was outstanding with her work. Great to See Bluff and Vegas matt, great for the Hotel & Casino. Staff were very good

We just returned from our first stay at El Cortez. We weren’t quite sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised by our experience! My husband, son and I stayed in a tower room with 2 queens. The room was comfortable, clean and quiet. I love that there is a refrigerator and Keurig coffee maker in the room. There are 2 regular coffee pods and 1 decaf pod provided each day, so bring a few extras if you need to. There are also 2 small bottles of water provided each day. We did have to ask for extra bath towels, since there were only 2. There is a small window in the shower which opens up and lets fresh air into the room. El Cortez has a good amount of slot machines and table games. I do wish the Ultimate Texas Hold ‘Em and craps had lower minimums than $15. There was no one playing Ultimate the 3 days we were there, but at competing casinos with lower minimums the tables were busy. Cocktail service was prompt and friendly. We had some great comp offers for our stay. We had dinner and breakfast (twice) at Siegel’s. The breakfast was really good and had big portions. The restaurant Eureka across the street has an excellent Smash Burger special for $9 on Wednesdays. We will definitely return to El Cortez. We all won a little money and had an enjoyable trip to Las Vegas.

"Great stay, as usual!"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5
Reviewed October 17, 2025
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!
