For more than 81 years, the El Cortez has been endearing itself to both locals and visitors at the corner of Sixth and Fremont, in Downtown Las Vegas. When it opened in 1941, it was the most classy and elegant hotel/casino in town, and today it is a star attraction in the popular Fremont East district. Not only that, it's been added to the National Register of Historic Places - the only hotel/casino to ever receive that honor! Come along with us for an overnight stay in the newly remodeled El Cortez hotel tower...a casino walkthrough....dinner at Siegel's 1941...and then, join us as we attend Grannyfest 2022, all at the El Cortez!
