I am a frequent visitor to Vegas and have always stayed on the Strip, this was my first time staying in the Freemont area. I thought I would try it for the nostalgia aspect. This is one of the true old Vegas hotels with lots of history. The hotel itself was clean, beds were good and AC worked. Security was... more

Yes the price is reasonable. The remodelling is OK. However if you are unlucky and the front desk staff put you in a room with mechanical problems, it can be very unnerving not to mention spooky, wierd or disgusting. This a very, very old building. Obvious and unseen maintenance concerns are ignored. If you like to gamble on your hotel... more

Just returned from a two night stay at the El Cortez on a comp I received in the mail. We had a Queen Double in the Tower - Room 614 at the end of a hall. The room was huge! It was nicely appointed and very clean. The bathroom is very small, so if you need a big bathroom, don't... more

Also, we had a... more

We received an automatic upgrade to a nicer room upon our arrival at the hotel. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The staff were excellent and treated us as old friends.
