About El Cortez
El Cortez is a hotel and casino in downtown Las Vegas. Las Vegas Boulevard and the Fremont Street Experience each lie a block away. Its doors opened on November 7, 1941, on Fremont Street, and it ranks among Las Vegas's oldest casino-hotel properties, alongside the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino, which stands close by. Its style is primarily Spanish Colonial Revival, reflecting a 1952 remodel that modernized the facade. The National Register of Historic Places added it in 2013.
El Cortez was built by Marion Hicks and J.C. Grayson as the first major resort in downtown Las Vegas, at a cost of $245,000. The site at 6th Street and Fremont was first thought to be too far from downtown, but the property quickly became profitable. In 1945, J. Kell Houssels sold it for $600,000 to a group of four buyers, among them Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky, along with Gus Greenbaum and Moe Sedway. Houssels bought it back in 1946 for $766,000.
The Pavilion Rooms were added in 1963, after Jackie Gaughan bought the hotel, and a 15-story tower addition opened in 1984. Gaughan lived in the tower penthouse, and in 2008 he sold the property to Kenny Epstein. Over the following decade, Epstein and his partners spent more than $50 million on renovations. The casino is also known in the industry as a "break-in house" where new table-game dealers gain experience.
