“Have stayed here previously and the property has really not kept up with the others on Fremont.”
“The room was small but comfortable however it should have been made clear in the booking that you need to climb stairs with your bags without any help to get to the room. There's no elevator for this room type.”
“The El Cortez is a great location. The room was perfect, and the casino and staff were excellent. I love that the whole place is 21 and over, as Vegas should be. We look forward to returning soon.”
“Location is slightly off the Fremont Street Experience but it is great. You can hear the music till 4am from the nearby club.”
“Reasonable price, location next to the downtown main street, close to the bus station.”
“The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Despite staying there for the first time they made me feel like I'd been staying there many times. The facilities, design and architecture were of the old school atmosphere, but clean, well-maintained and upgraded. I was unable to go the Speigel's restaurant during my stay, but a friend of mine did and said it was great. I don't doubt it. I will stay there again.”
“Very old and run down with motel type rooms”
“I’ve never encountered such rude staff. Only one of them was polite. No one informed us that the amenities could only be used until 12:00 AM. As a result, we couldn’t use them. When we asked the front desk how to use the amenities between 12:00 AM and 7:00 AM, they told us that the amenity fee would just go to waste. Is it acceptable for staff to say something like that?”
“Was real surprised how much we enjoyed this place. Service was excellent, room was nice and the downtown location was fun if a bit low-key. We had previously stayed on the strip and ended up liking it here a lot more.”
“Loved the location and the customer service was great!”
“A little run down but decent with basic needs, strategic location as it is located along Fremont Street”
“nice view for las Vegas near ferment good for Halloween party”
“It’s in good location for people who go for fun! It’s in downtown,”
“Nice Nofrill hotel..super location for Downtown and nice casino”
“Great value for money. We stayed in the cheapest room in pavilion part - pretty much motel style. Super nice staff & a free beer and play in the casino. Very close to Fremont Street Experience. The area seems a bit shady at night, but that’s just Las Vegas I guess.”
“El Cortez Hotel and Casino is popular among travelers for its spacious, clean rooms and convenient location near Fremont Street. Many guests appreciate the warm atmosphere and welcoming service, though some mention occasional noise from nearby venues.”
“The staff was super friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The location was great, close to Fremont Street and other attractions. Would definitely stay here again.”

“We spent four nights at this amazing hotel. They have really upped their game. The Prime Rib special at Siegel 1941 was perfect. They even still had Rare late at night. The Hot Dog Cart also hit the spot for a snack. Our room was cleaned everyday. We witnessed both Lady Luck HQ and Vegas Matt win multiple jackpots on different nights.”
“Stayed March 24–26. Unfortunately, my experience after checkout was extremely disappointing. I accidentally left my backpack in the room, which contained my laptop. I didn’t realize it until the next morning when I was already about 400 miles away. I immediately contacted the hotel and asked them to check the room, but they told me it wasn’t there. Concerned that the door may not have fully closed when we left, I asked if they could review their security footage to see whether anyone entered the room or left with my backpack. I made it clear that I was not asking for a copy of the video—only for them to review it internally. However, I was repeatedly told that they could not even check the footage unless I was physically present to verify my identity. This made no sense to me, as simply reviewing the footage would not require sharing any sensitive information. After escalating the issue to multiple staff members and getting the same response, I became increasingly concerned that the reluctance to review the footage might be an attempt to avoid uncovering something involving staff. Losing a laptop is bad enough, but the lack of cooperation and unwillingness to investigate made the situation far worse. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend staying here, especially if you expect help resolving an issue after checkout.”
