I had my 21st birthday in one of the designer suites here and for the price, it's so worth it! Although it's not the biggggest and glamorous suite you can find in Vegas, it's still designed super cute and if you move some of the furniture around you have plenty of space for people to come in. I was a bit nervous that we would get shut down but we didn't. We had pretty loud music and about 20 people in the suite and had such a blast. Once it hit midnight it was the best spot since I was able to easily bar hop with my friends since they all surrounded El Cortez. I recommend to stay here at El Cortez if you wanna spend the night in Downtown, locals especially. If you're a tourist and expecting a much more glamorous Las Vegas hotel you may just stick to the strip, OR the Golden Nugget if you want a more glamorous downtown hotel! If you don't need all the glamour, El Cortez is PERFECT!
