Stopped in the El Cortez to meet some family before the real festivities ensued. Found this little gem hidden between the copious amounts of smoke and old people. Décor is spot on, give that 1920's smoking club feel. High backed, roomy leather seats, low lighting, chandeliers and draping. They do have a small entertainment area, the night we were there, there was an Elvis gig (go figure). and the following night was Karaoke. Small dance area. It's a cool little spot to catch a drink when passing through the Cortez. Give it a shot.
