El Cortez
The Spanish-themed El Cortez is known for its low table minimums and reasonable prices on rooms and dining. The hotel has 400 rooms, including several luxurious Jacuzzi suites. The El Cortez is one of the few downtown casinos that is not right on Fremont Street, so prepare to walk a couple of blocks if you want to visit the other casinos. There is a complimentary shuttle that runs to McCarran Airport each hour between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Sunday through Friday.

Main Street Station is designed to resemble a Victorian train station. It is located two blocks north of Fremont Street, giving guests a place to stay that is close to the action of downtown Las Vegas, but away from the noise of the Fremont Street Experience shows.
