Staying at El Cortez for the first time - Quietest rooms not in Cabanas?

We've been going to Fremont Street for years, first started at Fitzgeralds, cheap rooms, cheap blackjack.  Then 2012 it became The D, got some good comps for a few years and loved Andiamo, but got very tired of the ever increasing limits, reduced comps and way too loud music.  So we switched to The Plaza and have been treated pretty good there and I like playing there a lot, especially like eating at Oscars.  They give me 3 free nights and $90 in free play with food comps so I feel that's pretty good for my low limit play.

Last October I stopped into the El Cortez for the first time to do the boarding pass thing and got a players card.  I played my $10 free play and dumped another $100 into video poker.  Didn't play anything else.

So I was surprised when I received an offer last month for 3 free nights including resorts fee and a $25 food comp, so I figured...hmm, maybe I should check out the property.  So I'll be heading there in June and playing at the Golden Nugget's Grand Poker Series.

Question for the El Cortez fans:  I do like a quiet room, I booked the Tower strip view thinking it would be as quiet as the Plaza's south tower and still have a view of the lights, but now I'm reading about container park and bar noise from Fremont East.  Is this something to worry about?  Should I try get the mountain view?

Container park noise isn't a problem unless there is a concert there.  Usually there isn't.    
the "life is beautiful" festival is the big one to look out for.  No room at El Cortez is quiet that week.

Thanks!

PJ is correct, but the actual quietest rooms are on the upper floors with mountain view. And you can get a strip view every time you hop on the elevator...

i'm here now and in a 7th floor strip room and it's boom boom boom from some local place.  I'd avoid facing the strip.  

Probably music from Container Park, which is across the street. 

Yes, make sure you face Ogden Street next time. You can also stay across the street at their Cabana Suites,  and the main EC tower serves as a noise buffer.

Ask them to move you to a mountain view room, or whereever it is quieter.  They can do it.  Just ask.

Surely, a swanky joint like El Cortez can flood Container Park with anesthetic gas upon request. Might buy you enough time to fall asleep.

And unfortunately, they don't always have a room available to move you to. I've on occasion forgotten to specify a no-noise room on check-in (at several downtown joints) and deeply regretted it later. I finally learned that the noisy rooms get sold first, on the assumption that if you don't ask, you don't know or don't care.

Tower room facing Ogden.   Even numbered rooms face this direction.   Good news is they FINALLY fixed the second tower elevator.    Starbucks is now open daily at 6am
