The hotel rooms are of a newer renovation, with them looking older in style to capture an older era. The bathrooms are more modern. For me I prefer a door to separate the bathrrom from the room as in the middle of the night if you are sharing a room the person sleeping gets a bright light in their eyes. Staying on the North Side of the tower is recommended as the South Side faces clubs with loud music from 10 pm till 2 am.

Overall Great Hotel.

Staff were very nice. Fixed an unplugged smoke alarm in my room promptly. Easy access to room from parking (if in the older section) and great view/open style balconies. Food could be better as was charged a lot for a Caesar salad. Hotel does have a strong odor used to possibly cover smoke smell up but only an issue for those that have asthma or some other type of illness. Recommend El Cortez for adults, both couples and solo travelers.

It’s fine for the price, but a little lacking in basics all the same (air conditioner was a little spotty, bad lighting). The style of the place is vintage vegas which is cool but the casino is a confusing mess (trying to withdraw cash or get your free drink is a nightmare!! ). Also the maid service entered my room at 9 am and woke us up despite the do not disturb sign being out, which really added to the feeling that they were just trying to get guests in and out as fast as possible and were not looking to give us a great stay
