Review for El Cortez Hotel & Casino Review For El Cortez Hotel & Casino Google User Mar 30 '17 at 16:18 I've stayed at dumpy Motel 6's that we're better than this. At checking in, we had extra, unexpected fees. The whole place reeks of cigarette smell all the way to the room's door. I could hear the music from the casino in my room, and every morning at 7:00 am I was awaken by a crazy loud, constant knocking. Next time in spending a few more dollars and staying at a real hotel. The Golden Nugget is just as accessible to downtown places as this and its head over shoulders better. Live and learn! View full site to comment or like
