Historic Dining Delight

Dining at Siegel’s 1941 was a highlight of my stay! The menu features an very nice variety of classic dishes with a modern twist, and the ambiance truly reflects the history of Las Vegas. I ordered the breakfast steak, and it was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere made me feel like I was stepping back in time, and I can't wait to return!

Safe and Convenient Parking

I was pleasantly surprised by the convenient parking arrangement! The south side of the hotel has free parking with a security guard checking vehicles entering. It made me feel safe leaving my car there for the duration of my stay. Plus, I never had trouble finding a spot, which was a relief.

I had a mixed experience during my recent stay at El Cortez. The vintage charm of the casino and the friendly staff were definite highlights, making for a cozy atmosphere. However, my experience was marred by a leak in my bathroom and noisy disturbances from nearby nightlife, which interrupted my sleep. Overall, while there are many positives, especially with the dining options, there are areas that need improvement.

Staying at the El Cortez was a mixed experience for me. The location near Fremont Street was perfect, and I appreciated the vintage charm of the hotel. My room in the premium tower was nicely appointed, but the lack of privacy in the bathroom was quite bothersome. Despite the friendly staff, the resort fee felt unwarranted given the limited amenities.

I booked a vintage room that honestly felt old and not very clean. The view from the room was lacking and there were a few maintenance issues, such as a power strip just lying in the middle of the floor. The comfort of the bed saved it a bit for me, but overall, I was disappointed with the room's condition.
