The El Cortez Hotel and Casino was once Bugsy's place, but now is Jackie's place.

One of the oldest casino hotels in Vegas, The El Cortez, once owned by mobster Bugsy Siegel, sits in a section of downtown that pre-dates The Las Vegas Strip. The hotel is just a few blocks from the Fremont Street Experience, the sound-and-light show under 2.1 million lights and with a 540,000 watt sound system along a four-block stretch of downtown.
The El Cortez is operated by local legend Jackie Gaughan, who has owned the place since 1963. Guests and gamblers drink in an authentic glimpse of the Old Vegas at extremely affordable rates: oversized guestrooms and suites, friendly hospitality, bargain dining and 24-hour gaming action.

Looking for modern-day glitz or a smoke-free environment? Look elsewhere. The 40,000 square foot casino is the main draw here, an excellent place for "low-roller" gambling with low-stakes tables and loose slots. Gamblers can go crazy with multi-race keno, blackjack, craps, roulette, mini baccarat, three-card poker, slots, and a race and sports book. Got a complaint or compliment? See that guy over there on the casino floor? That's Mr Gaughan.

Guestrooms include separate sitting areas, love seats, dressing areas, leaf-patterned wallpaper, salmon-colored carpets and bronze-and-pink bedspreads. For hungry gamblers and those who love them, Careful Kitty's Café dishes up breakfast items, sandwiches, burgers, steaks, seafood, Italian meatloaf and chicken-fried steak. Roberta's focuses on prime rib, steaks, seafood and chicken, while patrons can nosh sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, pizza and pastries at Charlotte's Ice Cream Shop and weekend breakfast buffets at the Morning Express.

Want that Old Vegas charm at economical rates? Bet on the El Cortez - and you will know Jack.
