El Cortez Casino in Las Vegas
The El Cortez is located in downtown
Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s kind of detached though. Picture a street, the El Cortez is at one end and then, about three blocks up or so, the rest of the downtown casinos are on the other end. The El Cortez is very inexpensive as rooms in Las Vegas go. It’s an older casino that was made famous from many promotions like their Social Security contest. The casino recently underwent new renovations. While some pictures might depict the El Cortez as being glamorous, it’s not.
The El Cortez is on the lower end of tourist casinos in Las Vegas—even for downtown. Non-smokers will want to stay away from the El Cortez. This casino has low ceilings and was built a long time ago. Those that don’t smoke will hate the El Cortez the moment they walk in. No matter what measures they have taken recently, the smoke smell is still unbearable. The El Cortez does offer some of the lowest table limits around. For instance, they have a 25 cent Craps table. What a perfect way to learn the game or have some fun without losing your shirt.
There really isn’t any entertainment to be had and the food is adequate. The real reason to stay at the El Cortez would be to save some money and walk up to the other casinos. If you love Keno, they do have one of the better places to play. The Keno lounge is a good size and they offer great payoffs. Keno lovers enjoy 40 cent live Keno 24 hours a day. The El Cortez is known for their giving attitude. Many good players receive meal comps and more.

On the 83rd anniversary of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, Sin City is honoring one of its earliest relationships with the grand opening of a museum dedicated to the mobsters that made this desert town. There are tommy guns, money stacks and a bullet-riddled brick wall from the 1929 massacre that saw Al Capone seize control of the Chicago mob. | PHOTO GALLERY

If it were on the Strip, the Western Hotel would have been imploded years ago. Being in a less-than-plush block of East Fremont Street, the deteriorating casino was able to extend its life by catering to a clientele of low-limit gamblers and $1 beer drinkers.
