I love the El Cortez. This is the place we stay at pretty much every time we come to Vegas.
Yes, the clientele accessorize with walkers. And, true it is not for everybody, but I like the dirty, old Vegas.
Everybody that works here is super friendly, from the bartenders and front desk people, to the valet guys.
The rooms are always clean, and the beds and pillows are really comfortable. I don't mind the no comforter or bedspread thing because the first thing I do when I enter a hotel room is strip those things from the bed anyway.
Got my voucher for a free 2 nights stay in December, but don't know if I'll be coming back to use it. I like Vegas, but I don't like it THAT much.
