Review for El Cortez Hotel & Casino Review For El Cortez Hotel & Casino Google User Feb 19 '14 at 14:30 Went to brunch at the El Cortez Cafe with my stepmom and aunt when then were visiting Vegas. It's definitely an older casino, so it's a little smelly and dingy. The service was pretty good, and the food was delicious with very generous portions. I had the french toast with strawberries, and it was perfect! Our server was attentive but didn't hover. I cleaned my plate, and when she was clearing them, she told me Good Job! Never heard that before. It definitely made us smile. :) View full site to comment or like
