"shady front desk staff, good to gamble, not to stay"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed December 12, 2025 NEW
I took down my first bad review because Maria was able to rectify the situation at 5pm the day following check-in, but now, I’m learning that I should have just edited it for later. When checking in, we were not notified that there were no king rooms available despite us having our booking months in advance. The front desk staff immediately rolled their eyes at the request of looking for a possible room that matched our reservation. Supervisor Cindy had similar facial expressions but ended up offering the refund of our resort fees in addition to calling and letting us know if a room opened up. We ended up calling around 4:15pm the next day because we noticed a King room being fully cleaned on our floor. Again, no rooms available. Maria repeated that she would call if one opened up. At this point, we had lost all hope and decided we would take our losses and just write a review. Coincidentally, Maria called at 5:14pm with a King room available on our floor. We stopped what we were doing to travel back to the hotel to pack up and change rooms. Happy to have the room we booked, unhappy to have this much inconvenience in getting the room we reserved months in advance. From this point on, we had no contact with the front desk as there was no need. Now, it is the day after check out and I’m at home checking my bank statements to see that the charges that were initially refunded, were charged again after check out. No receipt sent. I had to call and explain everything over to yet another associate and plead my case to have to charges refunded a second time as it was not communicated that the refund was conditional. Shady business. I liked the dealers, cashiers and bartenders. Very knowledgeable and kind. The housekeepers were polite and quiet compared to other places I’ve stayed. I really liked the decor of the hotel and the rooms were spacious, clean and classy. The front desk staff have attitudes and bad communication skills. I will likely be back to gamble at the El Cortez, but will look for alternative hotel arrangements.

"Old School Gangsta With Flair"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed November 17, 2025 NEW
The location was perfect - a block away from the lights of Fremont Street and four blocks away from the Mob museum. The tower room we were in was very quiet, clean, and oh so comfortable. The staff were informative and very friendly and you could tell they were like family to each other. When we were having problems with a thermostat setting their staff maintenance was there at 11pm to fix it, quicker than we could even expect. The view of the mountains from our window was beautiful. The room was very basic - a place to shower, grab a k-cup of coffee, rest, then venture out again. There were multiple restaurants to pick from, and our servings were quality and fairly reasonably priced with large shareable portions. Slots are slots are slots; nothing much I can say about them, to be honest. They did have a nice selection of video poker machines however.

"Improved downtown property"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed November 06, 2025
I just stayed three nights in a Tower room at the El Cortez. The rooms are very large and comfortable. Ask for a Mountain View room as they are quieter. Don’t expect a high end strip room but if you are a downtown fan like me, the El Cortez is a perfect spot. It’s just two blocks to the Fremont Street craziness so it’s nice to be part of the downtown experience but to get away from it as well. They have made some wonderful improvements with new bars, registration desk and they are currently redoing the entry bar. The dealers are friendly. The table minimums were $15 all the time and I was there during the week. The loss of $10 tables, at least in the morning and afternoon is my only negative comment. The Siegels restaurant has good value and great food, particularly breakfast and the Prime Rib special. The Siegels waiter Jorge is fabulous and provides wonderful service.

"Great Staff & Location"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed November 02, 2025
I love Fremont Street, offers so much more than the strip price wise. Found a $8-00 per day bus ticket which meant I could go anywhere very cheap. The Steak House is very good and with very good player point program had 3 free meals. I highly recommend the Spa I went twice and Molly was outstanding with her work. Great to See Bluff and Vegas matt, great for the Hotel & Casino. Staff were very good
