Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was dirty plainly speaking. Nightstands were unwiped, broken and filthy phone, bathroom had glitter handprints, worst of all there was water damage on the carpets. You could smell the mildew when entering. We were also given a handicap room, it was a busy weekend so I understand sometimes they are given out to non handicap people but I would have preferred a regular room.

My stay at this hotel was excellent. Starting with the Front Desk personnel. Doug was great and Gabriella was great very Customer Service friendly and very helpful. I had gotten rerouted from another hotel and I had to check in later at this one the El Cortez on Fremont Street and it all worked out so good. I already recommended another friend to stay here and I will definitely be coming back. I had a great time some good food there also.

I do not utilize the transportation but the parking structure was easy in/out and free. I was not aware of breakfast on site but a short walk to Hash House A Go-Go was perfect! Staff was 10/10. They were friendly and helpful. It was pretty quiet based on the location but weekends you can hear a little bass from the area clubs. No horrible perfume smell in the casino like on the strip. A plus- we left winners!

Room was barely satisfactory. Light fixtures were crooked and barely gave off enough light. Blinds didn’t function properly. We had 1/2 roll of toilet paper with nothing more in the room. The ice machine didn’t work in the Cabanas portion of the hotel - we had to get ice from a bartender in the main casino. I security roaming at night and the receptionist is there during the daytime, not night. The sink water pressure was very low. The perk is the casino has great gambling, food options and you can walk to Fremont Street Experience.
