What's Not to Like?
We go on a Guys Trip to Vegas every year during Cowboy Week (World Rodeo Finals). We always stay at the El Cortez. Reasonable rates, nice rooms, small but functional casino, FREE parking (with in & out privileges), and it's within easy walking distance of all Downtown attractions.

We stayed at the El Cortez due to learning about the history of the hotel from our last visit on a walking tour. We stayed in the "cabanas" which were located across the street from the main building. I wish this was made cleared before check-in. The hotel has a very old 50s/60s vibe to it. Rooms are also painted in that way as well. However, we weren't thrilled with the rooms. They look like they've been updated recently but halfheartedly. If I was to stay here again I would choose a different style of room.

Very nice place to stay at. I was housed across the street from the lobby (in the cabana suite), which was different but not a problem. I would definitely stay here again

For the most part it was just what was needed. Quiet spacious room with excellent room service. I didn't like the bathroom configuration with the door being in the way of getting in the shower but overall everything was good. I would stay again for sure.
