Upgraded to a "premium" room and ended up paying to stay in room that smelled like sewage. Siegel's 1941 has a baked chicken that is absolutely HORRIBLE! Beyond dried out.

Great stay. Stayed in one of the original rooms. Room was very comfortable but very skimpy on the blankets. The staff is great and very helpful. Compared to other casinos in that area we found ourselves spending most our time at El Cortez.

I didn't have breakfast at hotel as I don't eat breakfast so I didn't rate it. The room was of good size and very clean and I liked large dressing area with area outside bathroom with mirror and chair to put on my makeup. Cleaning staff so pleasant and accommodating in replenishing what I needed, water, toiletries etc. I was pleasantly surprised as I haven't stayed in downtown area in over a decade.

I was offered several nights of free stay here at the El Cortez, and it overly exceeded my expectations. We had such a great time and everybody there was super friendly. The facilities were nice. The rooms and bathrooms were nice and we will stay there every time we’re in downtown Vegas.
