What to Expect
El Cortez features three casino bars:
- Lobby Bar: This single-sided wall-set bar is located just steps away from the registration desk, so you can conveniently grab a cocktail as soon as you arrive. This bar includes video poker machines, so you can drink free if you’re gambling.
- Parlour Bar & Lounge: The newest El Cortez bar, the Parlour Bar is located next to The Flame steakhouse. It features comfy lounge seating, live piano music and a small, corner bar with video poker.
- Casino Bar: Located near Cafe Cortez and the keno lounge, the El Cortez Casino Bar is a large rectangular bar with plenty of seating for video poker players and boozers alike.

It should be noted that the 2-for-1 martini special does not include, you know, an actual martini.
Friendly bartenders at all bars. Check out the classic cocktail menu and the 2/1 martini happy hour.
The El Cortez and my family has a connection that goes back to the mid 40′s. My great aunt was a top end showgirl that was a part of the floor show glory days who had the mind of a business woman who knew Ben Siegel during those days in Vegas. The fact remains the El Cortez is the best place to go when one is in need of top-end excellent liquor, great food for a luncheon. The key is if cant get top end liquor dont bother to drink unless you are partying at the El Cortez Casino…It remains my official second home.
