Location: Downtown

Hotel Description

   Just blocks from the Fremont Street Experience, the El Cortez is one of Vegas's longest-standing downtown hotel-casinos.

   The El Cortez Hotel and Casino is all about gaming, and it makes the experience as pleasant as possible. The venerable hotel boasts a staggering 45,000 square feet of casino space, filled with 1,180 slot machines, 20 table games, roulette, baccarat and an active sports book, all waiting for fortune seekers to discover. Low-ante tables bustle with budding gamblers who want to ease in slowly. Four restaurants and a lounge serve the players with effervescent, friendly zeal. And from time to time, owner Jackie Gaughan walks the casino floor to greet his guests and ensure that they are being treated well.

   With a solid location (right next to the dazzling light show of the Fremont Street Experience), affordable room rates and a historical air, the El Cortez is an indispensable part of Las Vegas' exciting downtown area.
