6. I generally enjoy downtown Hotels and/or Historical hotels undergoing transformations ~ This one has a colorful crowd enjoying the Casino and exceptionally quiet rooms though located a close but in the Fremont Entertainment District.

7. Vegas seems to be the last bastion of being able to puff away anywhere you want and it is time for Nevada, in general, Las Vegas, in particular, and the El Cortez to wake up to the fact that the majority of Americans do not live with a ciggy hanging out of their mouths anymore.

8. Having stayed at the El Cortez previously, I knew what to expect: an inexpensive rate at an older downtown hotel/casino; a clean, functional room; access to reasonably priced restaurants with good food and values; and a generally friendly and accomodating staff.

10. Your rooms are all located above the casino floor so the second you step out the smell of stagnant cigarette smoke and decades old sweat from previous generations of gamers strikes you right in the nostrils and gets you ready for that Vegas night you always imagined.
