El Cortez Description

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

Named the best downtown hotel as well as best of Las Vegas for keno and blackjack in a 2009 newspaper reader's poll, The El Cortez Hotel and Casino is all about gaming, and it makes the experience as pleasant as possible. The hotel boasts a staggering 45,000 square feet of casino space, filled with 1,100 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.

Dining choices like The Flame Steakhouse and Cafe Cortez offer players a full menu, served with a friendly zeal. For several hours during the day and evening, players can even take advantage of the casino's Gambling Gourmet service, which provides them with slot and game-side meals served on a rolling cart. Live piano music can often be enjoyed in the lounge. And from time to time, owner Jackie Gaughan -- a 2008 recipient of the key to the city of Las Vegas -- walks the casino floor to greet his guests and ensure that they are being treated well.

While the hotel has graced downtown since 1941, more than $25 million has been spent in recent years on major improvements and renovations to all aspects of the property, right down to the wiring and electrical components in the elevators. All the rooms have been upgraded, and the property's old Ogden House, located across the street, has been converted into the modern El Cortez Cabana Suites, a retro-style boutique hotel.

With a solid location anchoring the Fremont East Entertainment District and 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.
