Our stay in the Cabana Suite was great, the room was very clean and spacious. We went during 4th of July weekend and were concerned with hearing loud noises, but it turned out to be a quiet evening. We really enjoyed that it was a guest only entrance into the Suites lobby. Definitely will recommend!

I chose this hotel because of its location and value, but my stay was overshadowed by my room assignment. I was placed in a Pavilion room facing N. 7th Street, directly across from Limelight. The amplified music was loud enough to be clearly heard inside the room and significantly affected my ability to relax and sleep. I reported the issue during my stay and requested a room change, but the hotel was fully booked and unable to accommodate the request. I understand downtown Las Vegas is a lively area, but I did not expect the room to be this affected by outside noise. If you’re a light sleeper, I strongly recommend requesting a room away from the N. 7th Street/Limelight side of the property. The location is convenient, but guests should be aware that some rooms may experience substantial noise.

I go to El Cortez to have 100 percent old world Vegas, songs and atmosphere of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tom Jones and of course, Elvis. New music is not acceptable or wanted. Unfortunately, this time I was hearing more modern music and had to search for the atmosphere that is real Vegas.
\"Hot Noods\" was a disappointment. Too little food for way too high a price! The theme of Hot Noods has nothing to do with Vegas in the years 1941 to 1968. It is a total mismatch. That floor space would be WAY better served as a classic, old style coffee shop, thus getting rid of both the problems of Hot Noods AND Starbucks. I come to Vegas to have unique experiences, not old high-priced Starbucks that I can get anywhere in my home neighborhood.
There is a new stage built on the casino floor, but for the time I was there, I saw no acts, no band/individual singer/stand-up comedian. I would bet there are hundreds of new hopeful entertainers that would love a chance at some exposure on your stage (for minimal cost on your part). I think you have a missed opportunity there.
I am disappointed with your blackjack, overly restrictive rules. I have learned that I would have gotten a better level of play at Virgin hotel or Treasure Island. They are now on my go-to list for my next trip. They both are keeping with, for example, lower table limits and allowing double after splits.

wifi in the Cabanas was literally only 1 mbps. You have no way to hook up your Roku or Firestick to the tv. Lighting was pretty bad in the room. The bed spread they had was like sandpaper for your skin. The person running the hotdog cart was slow as tiime. The ramen place was amazing, 'though. I forgot my expensive phone charger and after calling back 2 days later housekeeping must have pocketed it because they said they didn't have it even though they said the room was still unoccupied

Really loved El Cortez hotel and casino! The staff was absolutely fantastic!! A really good change of pace from the Strip. Caution though, if your room faces the Strip, or Fremont, you’re likely to get quite a bit of noise at night. Not an issue if you’re heavy sleeper. Would definitely book this place again though.!

I would say that most hotels in Vegas have a specific charm to them, or maybe a specific theme. The El Cortez definitely fits the theme around the original gangsters, but within the small room stay, it didn't add any imagination to luxury. While I staying in a smaller room, it seemed more like a motel stay rather than a popular or famous resort. Nevertheless, the resort provided a relaxing casino atmosphere, minutes walk to Fremont Street, and with my room in the separate building across the street, it was relatively quiet (I rarely ran into any other guests while staying there, so that's pretty pleasant!). If you're looking for just a stay with nothing immediately extra, this location is suitable.

El Cortez was priced decently, We went to get married and enjoy 4th of July our ceremony day, there was nothing extra given for our stay at the El Cortez. The front desk lady didn't seem to care wen I mentioned we were getting married, and even gave us wrong directions to our room. They did accommodate our service dogs well enough and the owner whom my fiance and I happen to run into was nice and helpful, had a worker show us the way to our room. Wish the room had a microwave, only had a fridge. I was Not pleased that the outside of our cabana resort had big 3 to 4 inch sewer roaches running around outside and there was even a big like 3 inch roach in our cabana room all the way up on the 4th floor. My now husband got his phone stolen from their casino as well. Security was kind of helpful but definitely not useful. I would not book the El Cortez casino hotel again. The roach did it in for me and a stolen phone.

The thing about this Casino is that if you’re here on a Friday night, you should expect it to be extremely loud, filled with raucous young people and intensely smoky. It seems like no one can speak to one another here without yelling at the top of their lungs. It’s hard to maneuver on the gambling floor because the chairs are close to each other, and we were constantly being bumped into while we were playing slot machines. As far as the hotel room, we stayed in the cabana suites across the street. While the room was clean and it was cheap enough, it was like no one else was in the building -and my wife found it creepy.
In summary, it was a good value, but considering that the El Cortez sits on its own three blocks from Fremont Street, I would rather stay closer to the action so I can walk to four or five different casinos.

This area of the hotel NEEDS UPGRADED. I will never book a room in the Pavilion part of Hotel. I usually book in the hotel which is much nicer, but the pictures on line for the Pavilion area...not so good, very under representation of what the actual room looks like in person.

But for the price on a weekend it was good! Be prepared on the weekends if you stay here or anywhere near fremont. It’s a ton of noise and people. It’s a massive party. Don’t bring your kids.
