El Cortez Hotel and Casino

The first room I got (Vintage) should be old and small, although it was clean, the shower head had very little water pressure. I up graded to a tower room for $22.60. It was a vast improvement, Larger more updated. The front desk staff were great, although I was informed ( when I ask for a tea bag instead of coffee) that I could call room service for a $12.50 cup of tea. Other than that the trip was fine loved downtown and the gaming staff with one exception was very friendly.

Had a reservation and upon check in found out we were up graded. I dont know why but the room was nice. We stay at El cortez often and I dont think you can beat the price

Parking close to hotel, no long walking. Good food thruout. Gambling very good. Will return.

I did not intend on staying at the El Cortez, but the Gold Spike, which I originally booked, was sold and closed down three days before my arrival. The El Cortez was a very nice place. Although not as inexpensive as the Gold Spike, it was still the best deal on Fremont Street. I've already booked another trip to the place.

My experience was a little disappointing in that I asked for a non-smoking room and although it was marked non-smoking, it did smell strongly of cigarettes. They also ran out of hot water for my shower one morning around 8:15. That was the clincher that brought me to the front desk to also let them know the remote for the T.V. was broken. I had left a note on the dresser for the housekeeper, but nothing was changed until I reported it myself and by the time I returned later that night it was replaced. I didn't expect the a five star hotel, but did hope to have a room that was smoke-free , clean and in working order.

Overall it was nice. It was cheap, nice atmosphere, very relaxing. Would definetely recommend this hotel.

I had made it for my husband Joe Vargas. He had stay there 5or 6 times. This time the had him in a small room with no safe n all kind of little kids running around at all hours. The desposit hold on card w had been $50.00 the three times he had stay there. This time it was $120.00. They said it was a mastercharge debit card that why. He's use the same card on all previous visit at $50.00. They have always put him the towers this time he was put in the pavillion. Thank you Joe n Delores Vargas

I was very happy to see how beautiful the room where redone. My stay was very nice, until the last night. Needed to get up early in the a.m. to head home. around 2;00 am a couple started to argue outside our door, the man started to use racial words, i was giong to call front desk. but my said no cause they will know it was us who call. We didnt wanted to cause trouble. But there was a camera on the top, i cant belive no one saw it. Well i thank you for my wonderful stay.

Paid about 40. a night for this room right off Fremont Street. Walking distance to all the bars and Casino's in Down Town Vegas. Room was clean and had a nice view of down town. Only bad thing for me since I love the jacuzzi and a swimming pool is that there is none. Other than that great stay.

Great value but the rooms could use new carpets and seating
