I like the tower rooms.They have been remodeled recently. they are not Caesars Palace fancy but they are nice.I also like how easy they are to get to from the casino.You get off the elevator and you are in the casino.Also being several blocks from the FSE,it's easy getting in and out of the parking garage.
I've stayed in every type of room at El COrtez: the Vintage rooms, pavilion, tower, Design-a-suites, and cabana
The only rooms that have significant differences are the Cabana rooms which are located accross the street in their own building on Ogden Ave. They have a gaudy, lime green thing going on with contemporary furniture. But the qaulity and ammenities are not any different from other rooms at El Co. If you like contemporary surroundings go with the cabanas ...otherwise stay at the hotel itself which is more traditional design.
The suites give you a small "living room" area and an incredibly small jetted bathtub. I'm 6'4" and did not fit in the tub very well. But it works. Room gives you more space to spread out but nothing really worth paying for in my opinion. Each suite has its own unique theme created by professional interior designers.
All of the other rooms are essentially the same.....Tower, Pavillion, and Vintage.
-The Tower has the most convenient access from the casino floor which might make them a little more expensive.
- The Pavillions are located in the parking garage and make you walk a liitle bit and are subjected to noise from the Container Park.
-The Vintage rooms have no elevator access so you have to walk up 1 to 2 flights of stairs. But the room itself is almost identical in all three types.
There are Vintage Suites that are in that part of the hotel that give you a little more space too. Sometimes you can get one of those just for asking but its not a big deal. You just get a couch and a liitle more space.
ALL of the rooms at El Cortez are non-smoking,but the smoky air wafts upward into the vintage rooms and all others. They change the filters often,but can't keep the foul air from permiating the entire hotel.If you are smoke-sensitive,be aware of this fact.The main casino floor has always been smoky.(The Fremont,too.)
The El Cortez just sent me an offer of 3 free nights,up to September 30th,2019.I'm not sure that I'll accept the offer for a tower room.
The Golden Nugget does have smoking rooms,but they charge an extra fee per night+ resort fees and taxes.
The Downtown Grand has just 2 smoking floors-no extra charges,but the windows do NOT open. Dumb! Whatever they do,it's wrong.
ElCo is actually much less smoky than it was a few years ago. Cabana Suites are right across the street, nice, with big bathrooms. The whole Cabana building is non-smoking. Not really big "suites", though - make sure you ask for Junior or Super Suite when booking. I've never had any issues with smoking odors in a Tower room. The remodeled Tower rooms are very nice, with comfy beds. Safe travels and good luck!
just tried booking a room at ElCo using the LVA coupon. I was told that it can only be used sun-wed which is true for the first night. I was trying to book wed-thur with check out on friday morning. I was told this was not possible. Need to get more clarification on this
George I would call and try again. The back of the coupon states First night stay must be Sun-Wed. So Wed and Thus should work unless they have sold out or blacked out on that day for the coupon use.
Bobby I stayed a few years ago at Christmas in a custom Cabana suite, The amenities with coffee, fridge etc were nice. If I recall I didn't like the shutters . I was a little nervous walking across late at night (as a single female) but found there ways always a guard keeping watch. My room was nicer and larger than 4Q and lower tier rooms at GN, I have not stayed at the D or GG. Staff was super friendly and they have some type of small candies everyday at the check in desk.
I am coming in Jet lagged in October and again booked Cabana tower so if I have to catch up on sleep I can.
Edited to add the lime green room colors are butt ugly :D.
