I don't know what has happened to the restaurant at the El Cortez. Their restaurant used to be excellent with great service. But I have been in there twice lately and both times it took forever to get cocktails then it took forever to get the meal. Then another long wait for the check. When you ask someone for water or anything it starts a cascade of people asking other people but no water. Where does the server keep disappearing to? The GM was wandering around but seemed not to notice the room full of people waiting for drinks, food, checks, etc. Also, when the meal arrived it was cooked wrong and cold. It has obviously just been sitting in the back for a long time. On two different visits. I had to send it back it was so bad. I don't really know the restaurant business but they seem to have plenty of people, they probably just need to re-think their process, I don't know. And I used to love their 50% off Wednesdays but now the menu items on the "special" menu is so limited I am not sure why they even bother. I hope the El Cortez can get their old mojo back here. Bugsy would not be happy.
