El Cortez

Downtown
(702) 385-5200 (800) 634-6703 | Official Website

The El Cortez is the oldest, continuously operating casino in Las Vegas, dating back to 1941 when Fremont Street was paved only to Fourth Street, two blocks away. It's so ancient that Bugsy Siegel was a minority owner for a time. Today, the EC still prides itself on being "a family-run casino, unburdened by the trappings and constraints of corporate ownership." It's also one of the few casinos in Las Vegas to still offer coin-in slots. Walking through the door is like stepping back in time. (The sports book is contemporary, however.) Six different types of rooms are offered, from "vintage" to "designer suites." The El Cortez also owns the separate but adjacent South Beach-style Cabana Suites, with such modern niceties as iPod docking stations and a fitness center. There is only one restaurant, Siegel's 41, a glorified coffee shop open 24 hours.

    Have stayed at he El Cortez the past two years and will be there again this November. Have stayed in the Tower Rooms and they are quiet and very adequate for the price. The gambling there is very good, especially the single deck 21 and craps. The food at Siegel's 41 Restaurant is good, not too overprices, when compared to other places and they feature a senior menu on Wed. with 50% off.

    El Cortez BJ
    I went there at the start of this month  The prime rib is now $16.95. They have a great game of 21 with 2 side bets people are winning on. You bet $10 on your BJ bet, but you can bet $100 on side bets. The side bets offered are: 1. your first 2 cards are the same suit pays 3-1 and 2. your first 2 cards are a pair pays 6-1, a suited pair pays 15-1. I had a blast there.

    Great Place to Gamble
    My favorite place to gamble. I always gamble at the El Cortez when I am in Vagas. I usually stay at the hotel and eat at Siegle's too. Old school Vegas at its finest.
