Las Vegas hotels in Downtown

Pros: Nice hotel and close to major points of interest. We only stayed one night and like the easy access to the airport. Good restaurants in the area. Unfortunately for us,the casinos haven't opened back up yet, but definitively would consider coming back.

Cons: Casino not open due to COVID-19

Pros: Our room was clean and comfortable. Housekeeping did a good job everyday. Common areas were also kept clean and in good order. Location is convenient, yet not right on top of freemont, which is good. A little loud but nothing that prevented rest.

Cons: Front desk staff seemed short and not friendly. All other staff were great. Really the front desk staff prevented me from rating this 10/10.

Pros: I came for some much needed solo relaxation. Being that it was during COVID restrictions etc. some amenities were not available. However, the staff was WONDERFUL and friendly and people were in good spirits. It was a little odd to not have the motel bustling with people but I had a wonderful time. This motel is a favorite of my friends, as they recommended it, and I will DEFINITELY be back!

Cons: My only complaint is that the pool chair fabric and pool tables were rather dirty, but I’m going to assume it’s because of COVID. not disgusting and unsanitary, but definitely need to be cleaned.

Pros: Good location.

Cons: Bed was uncomfortable. Expensive drinks. $6-$9 for a beer or $45 for a 6 pack of coors light.

Pros: It was close to everything we wanted to see.

Cons: We disliked that there was no microwave, no refrigerator, and no coffee pot in the room. Also, parking was extremely confusing when we first got there. There's got to be a better way.

Pros: Location to Freemount St. without the noise at night, walking distance. Small casino, not at all crowded.

Cons: No

Pros: great location

Pros: Friendly , helpful staff , very clean , no problems and would for sure stay there again .

Cons: We booked as a group , so would have liked to stay close to each others rooms , even the same floor would have been nice but out of 5 rooms only 2 were on same floor , opposite ends of course and 2 were on other side of the street, but still enjoyed it.

Pros: Great experience and really liked staying in the Fremont Street area.

Cons: It's minor - was in town for a convention and would have preferred a real ironing board...

Pros: Swimming pool

Cons: Hours that you closed the pool. That you still have not refunded my $50. Fee

Pros: Nice location, friendly and efficient staff, zappos white noise was a nice touch. Great View of Las Vegas Excellent thermostat heat system..

Cons: The rooms was a non-smoking but smelled like smoke. For the value of this room I would have expected a fridge, microwave, and coffee to be provided. Breakfast was tasty but very expensive. Include a continental breakfast There wasn't a drain plug4

Pros: Comfortable, updated, spacious room. Friendly staff. Three elevators. Proximity to Pizza Rock restaurant and The Mob Museum

Cons: Pricey mandatory resort fee for a hotel far from the entertainment center of The Strip. No fridge, no microwave, no complimentary breakfast. Hefty walk from parking garage to the hotel, including the need to cross the street. Many panhandlers nearby.

Pros: Location of this hotel is excellent - right in the center of the action on Fremont Street

Cons: Our room was right next to an outdoor speaker that played music until 2:00am. The room was old and not well appointed. But it was cheap by Vegas standards. This is a 2 star hotel at best.

Pros: Room was clean and updated. Steigel was delicious.

Cons: Only complaint, called and asked the front desk for extra pillows and we never got them.

Pros: I did not like anything the bed was I bed I ask for 2 the room was two small I had to stay at another hotel across the street I did not get anything I ask for

Cons: I did not like the stay at all it was terrible

Pros: Great location

Cons: Small bathroom

Pros: The housekeeping staff did a good job restocking the room each day.

Cons: I booked online, and was offered an upgrade to a "Cabana Suite" for a holiday weekend. Mia culpa, I did not do extensive research since I know that a cabana is usually poolside and a suite is usually a large hotel room with a sitting area as well as a sleeping area. The El Cortez Cabana Suites are neither. It's an older looking motel that has had the name El Cortez slapped on it. My room was no more than a Motel 6 hotel room: a king bed, a chair, a desk with one of those metal-and-vinyl chairs you see in schools or churches, a dresser that you couldn't access because the mini fridge prevented the sliding doors from opening on one side (where the drawers were). The bathroom did have a nice shower, as some pointed out, but the location was behind the parking structure for the actual El Cortez Hotel. There was a security guard outside the door because the neighborhood was more than a tad sketchy. We couldn't have guests without coming to the lobby to open the door for them - they wouldn't buzz in our friends. When checking in (with bags in hand) they made me fish out my room key before buzzing me into the lobby; it was not very welcoming. Yes, there is candy on the lobby desk, but the person sitting at the desk almost didn't smile once in three days. Often at night it was a security guard talking on her phone with friends and didn't even look up to acknowledge us. I felt cheated out of a promise made by the name of the hotel - if you're going to offer someone who starts to book a room in the casino tower a "cabana suite" as an alternative, then it better have a pool or be an actual suite. A renovated Super 8 Motel is NOT what I think of when I read "El Cortez Cabana Suites". Had this hotel been $50 a night, I would have been tipped off, but at almost $200 a night for the holiday weekend (including their nightly "Resort Fee"), I was expecting MUCH more.

Pros: The Room in the Tower was very nice. They did a great job updating it. Hotel employee in the gift shop was so AWESOME!!! Very friendly, helpful, funny and very sweet. She was AMAZING!

Cons: The only thing that was a problem was the air conditioner. When it ran its course there was this VERY loud BANG every time. And you could hear it coming from rooms next door, below, above you. That is my only complaint.

Pros: The staff was super nice and the hotel restaurant was good and had decent prices. The location was nice being just at the end of Fremont street.

Cons: The hotel is right across the street from a club so it sounded like there was a rave going on in my room until at least 230am when I was finally able to fall asleep.

Pros: The supervisor was top notch and changed our room after learning of the issues.

Cons: The room air conditioning was broken and set to freezing temperatures and the bathroom was unclean with hair stuck to the walls of the shower. The front desk clerk was passive aggressive and rude.

Pros: Mostly the staff at the check in bar. It is where I played most of the time as it was quieter

Cons: Room was dirty when we checked in. Had not been vacuumed, dirty bathroom was some sort of sticky stuff on wall and floor was dirty. Also did not clean room but one time in 3 days and had to call for towels. Was entertaining to watch all the call girls pick up men and it was quite obvious what they were doing. Hotel was great on making sure masked were worn. And where I played they were excellent at keeping it clean

Pros: The cleaning stuff was very helpful with trying there best to get my trash every few hours. They brought me towels very fast

Cons: I keep all my trash in one can by the door and still had little bugs flying all over room ,and people next door were having a wild sex very Noisy. Lady working counter when I had my son with me was very rude to me in front of my son .

Pros: Upgraded tower rooms were a nice... but there are a lot of caveats that made them not so great.

Cons: The upgraded large LG tv on the wall is so cheap, and they’ve loaded so much hospitality software onto it, that you can’t run YouTube on there for more than 15 minutes without it crashing and restarting for lack of memory. Also, some premium channels had horrible choppy picture and sound. The beds were nice looking and average comfort for a hotel bed. However, they used an old bed frame and used sections of wood instead of a box spring. This leads to the wood of the frame moving around very loudly. If you toss and turn occasionally, you could wake yourself and maybe your neighbor. Covid restrictions aren’t annoying. They act like staying in the hotel is getting into the pentagon. But you can smoke and carry out in the casino (the places everyone has to walk through to get to the hotel) without any screening. They used the cheap Chinese Surface thermometer. And then record your ID info into the room notes... no just for you... but any single person you want up to your room. Have some friends in town and want to hang in the room before going out?? They have to give up their ID for the privilege of a temperature check at the front desk. You then have to wear a pink nightclub bracelet 24/7 or you will be turned away at every elevator, even if you have a room key. The front desk woman took my money and THEN felt the need share all of this with me. When I tried to confirm the new rules, she kept answering like a politician instead of just yes or no answers. I told her you should really disclose these new rules before you charge cards because I would have just cancelled and saved the deposit and “amenities fee” (which is a government sanctioned pricing/ marketing scam, for those that don’t know)... she literally just wouldn’t respond to that. Fremont is also not fun anymore. Everywhere is closed or reduced hours because of covid. There are ID checks every block with metal detectors. And you have to go through turnstiles that everyone touches.

Pros: The Room Was Clean

Cons: The Air didn’t work horrible customer service

Pros: The rooms were quiet. Location was convenient.

Cons: The shower fluctuated between scalding hot and too cold. I coouldnt ever find a comfortable temperature.

Pros: good value. i like the atmosphire of the older casino.

Cons: the room was too close to the elevators. it was noisy some times

Pros: Felt very safe when walking to Fremont Experience.

Pros: Spacious Rooms, very comfortable. The hotel had a kiosk to check in for my airlines. Staff was friendly. Price was affordable.

Cons: I called and was told no shuttle to/from airport, but found they do offer this service. Staff needs to be more informed.

Pros: The El Cortez is a nice casino with pleasant clientele. 5-dollar single deck BJ, 3-dollar double deck BJ. Low stakes roulette (.25 chips, one-dollar minimum). The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to the heart of downtown. We stayed in the Cabana Suites which was a great deal. The quality of the room was substantially higher than the price we paid.

Cons: One knock on the casino, though not a big deal, was that the dealers weren't crisp. The roulette dealer had to search for the number on the table each time, instead of knowing where it was. If all the numbers were covered up, this could take as much as 6-7 seconds for her to identify which number was the winner. The BJ dealers frequently had to take extra time to total the cards. I once placed a 2-dollar bet, by mistake, on a table requiring 3 dollars. I was the only player at the table, but the dealer didn't notice until after the hand was completed.

Pros: Good Gaming

Cons: Bartenders were rude, and the cafe made a big production about a 1 dollar piece of bread, it was riduculous after we had just spent $600.

Pros: Great hotel and good location,helpful staff,would stay again.

Pros: every thing was excelent had agood experience will also stay here in aug.

Cons: no seat in the shower.

Pros: The non-smoking room was clean, convenient and nicely furnished. The complimentary shuttle back to the airport also was convenient.

Cons: The room was chilly and the heating did not seem to work. The drain in the bathtub/shower probably was clogged given the slow drainage.

Pros: Everything. Price and comfort was good. :)

Cons: Nothing.
