I happen to be paralyzed and in a wheelchair, but fly out several times a year to enjoy Downtown Vegas which for me is much more accessible, convenient and safer than getting around the Strip. I often venture into casinos alone as my friends do not share my interest in sportsbook wagering and I can only sit with them at 21 table for a couple of hours before I get restless.

The El Cortez is one of my two preferred Downtown Vegas properties for several reason. It has one of the best sportsbooks managed by a great guy Frankie and a terrific staff who are always friendly and polite. The El Cortez Sportsbook also awards comps on sports wagering which few others do and is always generous with free drink tickets to use at any the hotel bars.

El Cortez also rates high in my books for table games -- and not just because they offer single and double-deck 21 that pay 3:2 on Blackjack. But more important for someone such as myself who is in a wheelchair, they have several low tables that make it much easier to read the cards and manage the chips.

The El Cortez also has nice, large rooms in the Tower and offeres a decent coupon book with some extra perks.

Everyone is always quick to remember me and say hello -- it seems like they have had the same bellman for years and the security guards are visible & helpful.

The selection of food at the El Cortez is also nice from the inexpensive & healthy Subway to a decent coffee shop to a very nice steakhouse that is one of the best dining bargains in Las Vegas.

It is just a short stroll to the rest of the Downtown casinos along Fremont Street and the short stretch has really improved with is selection of bars and restaurants.

Even if I do not always stay at the El Cortez, I definitely so my fair share of gambling and eating there.

If you enjoy the "old Las Vegas" feel or are looking for some value then El Cortez is the place for you. You can find single deck $5 blackjack games with good odds and you don't have to deal with half the tourist on the strip that have just seen the game on tv but never played it. The steakhouse is also a great value for the quality and quantity that you get. Historically it's pretty cool to still see a casino that looks like the pictures from 40 yrs ago in this day and age of bigger and better. I've never left disappointed and always look forward to going back.

hi i'm bob from coal township PA. this is my second home in las vegas, been staying at the el coetez since 1983 .they know how to make you feel at home.food gaming is great if you like to drink this is the place,service is great. rooms are very clean and comfortable. the strip is a jip, we rent a car and park at the hotel it's very easy to get around not like the strip. no need to go to the strip. Fremont st. is where it's at. before you go to vegas make sure you get (THE AMERICAN-CASINO GUIDE) those coupons come in handy. good luck BOB

Always a great time at El Cortez. I use our American Casino Guide coupon for free slot play while my husband plays the quarter roulette. We celebrated our anniversary in their wonderful steak house and had excellent food and service. It is not fancy like places on the strip, but you get a good gamble and great service. We drive, so appreciate the on site parking.

The most friendly gambling house of whole Vegas!
We just loved it in the downtown - living on the strip.
