This review is for a stay there in July 2012.\n\nI lived in the El Cortez for a week while I interned at UNLV this past July.\n\nThe rate for the room was incredible!  I booked on Orbitz and got a great deal.\n\nThe room was large, clean, and easy to get to.  The location at one end of Fremont street is very convenient, and it only took about 10 min. to get to UNLV every AM.\n\nThe negatives - The workout room is across the street at the cabana suites, and the pool is across the street in the other direction from that, forcing you to cross the street in your flip-flops to have a swim.\n\nI was so happy about my stay, I've booked my next trip to Vegas in Feb. already, and am staying here again!\n\nCL
