El Cortez - The Real Deal :
El Cortez is one of the best kept secrets in all of Las Vegas. Since 2008, El Cortez has undergone dramatic, yet incredibly subtle renovations. The entire casino has been scrubbed and refurbished, new rooms, new suites, refreshed dining options and the addition of the truly fantastic El Cortez Cabana Suites out back have turned the El Cortez into a true modern classic destination. Highly recommended for cheapskates, downtown lovers , vintage Vegas freaks and boutique hotel snobs.

Built in 1941, Las Vegas impresario Jackie Gaughan bought the El Cortez in 1963, one of its previous owners was none other than Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel. The El Cortez retains much of its 1940's vibes despite periodic upgrades and facelifts. Be sure to check out their $4.99 breakfast buffet... comped to players who give good action.

I love everything about this joint. Only at the El can you see a little old lady and a gangbanger kindly swap strategies about the Wizard of Oz machine. The coffee shop is the best, the bar drinks are dirt cheap and the blackjack tables still give out 3:2 payouts on blackjack. Everyone complains about the smoke and the smell. I think I'm addicted to it. No, really. I think I may need help.

Love the vibe here. It's really old Vegas with good odds and low limits. I try to get to the El Cortez every trip.

Have stayed here several times and have enjoyed it each time. Tower rooms are very roomy, except for the bathrooms. Otherwise extremely happy. And yes you can see Jackie Gaughan around the hotel. Have done very well on the slots too. Highly recommend it.

Getto, smelly but looser than most.. Not bad but not good. Slots the good thing.

Haven't ever stayed here. The place is truly old school and I like it. People who love the flash of the strip probably won't. Any place with single-deck blackjack featuring a 3:2 payout automatically gets major thumbs up in my book.

Cabana Suites are a sweet little secret tucked downtown. There's such an old school feeling in the casino and the lounge bartenders, especially Paulie, just make you feel right at home. Its a must stay every trip

The spirit of Las Vegas is alive and thriving at the El Cortez. New suites, refurbished less smoky casino and the incredible Cabana Suites building out back. El Cortez is a real player in town.

Looking forward to staying at the Cabana Suites. Already one of my favorite casinos in Vegas. $1 roulette FTW!

One of my favorite low-roller joints in Vegas. They deal some of the best $3 / $5 BlackJack games anywhere and offer a killer 2-for-1 martini Happy Hour. The piano player in the casino bar adds a nice vibe. The Flame is a classic, old-school steakhouse and the easy-to-find $25.00 coupon makes it a must-do when staying D'town. What's with that nasty, old-woman "perfume" scent they pump into the casino?

Love the El Cortez. Best low-limit gaming downtown (next to Main Street Station). For such a great old school joint, they have a hip twitter presence. The 2 for 1 martini hour rocks, and the chance of seeing Jackie Gaughan walking around in the casino is worth the trip down.
