We stayed here during a busy weekend, April 20th to the 22nd and we learned a valuable lesson; pay extra to get the tower rooms. We stayed in the vintage rooms this time and our stay was not as nice as the times before. You can definitely hear everything on the street and below on the casino floors and those stairs, OH BOY, pain in my arse. We will always go back to the El Cortez because we are loyal and love playing here but next time, we will definitely stay in the tower suites or hopefully the new updated ones coming out late summer.
