Too bad they do not allow half star rating's on yelp. I have had both good and bad experiences at the Cafe Cortez. Occasionally it is hit or miss for service sometimes at this casino cafe, but the food is decent quality and comes out within a reasonable time from the kitchen. Sandwiches are a decent portion and priced fairly.
One of my go to meals for a quick late night booze soaking meals is the "Jackie Special". This is a Quarter Pound burger served with chips pickle and draft beer. This special runs all day and night. My only issue is that I am trying to sober up and they go and serve me another beer. My fault, not theirs I guess.
The burger was named after the former owner of this classic Las Vegas institution of gaming inside the El Cortez. Jackie Gaughan was the former operator of the El Cortez who has the honor of this namesake burger special.
Check out the El Cortez Cafe when you are in the area. They also have other daily specials throughout the week such as fish n chips and Prime Rib.
