Always have a special place in my heart the El Cortez.]]> Played $5 a hand BJ here years ago for hours on hours and learned how good at the time an ice cold MGD was while tipping the cocktail waitress with $1 side bets ??. Always have a special place in my heart the El Cortez.

I haven’t set my foot on Fremont Street for 10 years now, and back in 2014 the area was already evolving at a very fast pace. As a former resident, my most epic gambling nights happened at the California, Binion and El Cortez.

The signature game, single deck blackjack, is no more. The game drew players who were told that it was easier to beat a single deck game, which for non-counters is false, and even for counters, the EC was vigilant at all its relatively low stakes tables ready to 86, anyone they sensed was counting or, sometimes, just winning a lot through dumb luck. The double deck game at under $25 a hand has also been stripped of doubling after a split, which for most players is irrelevant but its removal ups the house advantage. Will I play there? Yes, I’ll sit down at the DD game, but when I get dealt my first chance to double down after a split and the dealer tells me I can’t, that will be my last hand ever. A moment of silent mourning.

Prime Rib is top notch. Country fried steak is awesome. The service is excellent. Highly recommend.
