One of the older hotel casinos in the downtown area, excellent parking ramp connected to the casino. Normally I stay at the Vegas club which is closed on Fremont Street. My room rate at the Vegas club was between $11 dollars and sixteen dollars a night,  at the El Cortez my best rate was $29 per night. I do gamble and I expect comps from the pit boss and the Casino host. I do request tickets to shows, free dinner, my room comped due to my play. (I have received more than two to three times the comps off the Edgewater Casino in Laughlin compared to this casino. I will be taking my bankroll to the Edgewater in Laughlin from now on. I did submit a review of the Edgewater Hotel Casino ) This hotel is one of the most reasonable priced rooms in downtown Las Vegas. I found the rooms to be clean and the atmosphere down on the main gambling for safe and friendly.
