Review for Encore Boston Harbor Review For El Cortez Hotel & Casino Google User Dec 10 '17 at 23:10 We loved our time at the El Cortez. The casino is older and not as luxiorous, but I think there is appeal in this. They had someone playing a grand piano and slots where coins drop. They also have very reasonable priced tables for blackjack and roulette. They also have machines for $1 blackjack and roulette. Probably one of the cheapest if not the cheapest in town. Their food is economical and they have some pretty happening food venues. The staff is friendly and seems like a family. The Saturday night drawing is fun and exciting.
