Poor service and attitude. Just checked in at 5:30 pm on April 11. Waited fifteen minutes, supervisor was rude when she finally came out to help. Didn't offer any upgrades of just blew us off. Didn't even tell us how to get to the room. I mean, I stay here often and this was the poorest experience I've had here. I've stayed here several times, but this lowers my view of the hotel and might not allow me to return due to their supervisory attitude and lack of empathy. Just flat out rudeness. Didn't catch her name because she didn't wear a name tag, but was night shift and from Philippines.

"Nice stay at the El Cortez"
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed April 09, 2025 NEW
Great location in the "old" area of Las Vegas by Fremont but one block from bus that runs to the big strip area and arenas. Clean comfortable room and bathroom. Pleasant and helpful staff. Good drinks. Can't comment on the gambling as I was in town for Pens vs VGK. Nice to have the airport shuttle. Price was reasonable for my budget. I stayed in the Cabana Suites, just across from the main building, restaurants and gambling floor but it was a safe and easy walk to all of that. I'd book it again.

Not too thrilled here. Thought cause historical here I'd try. Small room just clean enough. Shower leaks out big time onto floor and then mat soaked. Check in guy zero percent engaging and very lackluster! There's a desk but no chair! What the heck? Weird! Can't even use laptop I brought along. Slots tightest ever. I'm leaving tomorrow to salvage trip and even though I pd for 2 more nights. Hope someone cares when they see this! My bday is tomorrow and I just want much nicer somewhere. Restaurant was saving grace though.
