El Cortez, Spanish Colonial Revival casino in Downtown Las Vegas, United States.
El Cortez spans 41,842 square feet of gaming space, featuring traditional table games, slots, and a race and sports book in the main pavilion.
Marion Hicks and J.C. Grayson constructed El Cortez in 1941 for $245,000, later selling it to notable figures Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky in 1945.
The property maintains its original 1941 exterior design and façade, earning recognition on the National Register of Historic Places as a prime example of Las Vegas heritage.
Located one block from Fremont Street Experience, El Cortez provides 364 rooms, free parking, Wi-Fi, and multiple dining venues including Siegel's 1941 restaurant.
The casino serves as a training facility for new table game dealers in Las Vegas before they transition to larger establishments on the Strip.
