Room Quality: 2 It's off the floor and there's a lot of noise and smoke, and frankly the El Cortez isn't the nicest smelling place either. (People, if you haven't been there, go: the good gambling and the vintage decor make it worthwhile.) THE RAKE IS MAXED AT $2.50. I haven't seen a easier rake anywhere. |
|
Competition: 4 There will be bankroll volatility in their 1-3-6 Hold'Em spread game. Disciplined play is the antidote to bankroll volatility; if you can play a tight game you'll be in heaven. |
|
Dealers: 3 Nothing to note either in the plus or minus column. The players will keep you way more netertained than the dealers will. |
|
Cocktails: 2 Yes, if you're used to strip looks, ambience, and selection you'll not like their service. It's not bad though; the most popular bands always come fast enough. |
|
Management: 3 There' always someone on duty at their one desk. Really a three-table room isn't hard to manage. |
|
Comps & Bonuses: 3 Play for four hours, get a $5 coffee-shop comp. The coffee shop is amazingly huge; sadly, $5 only gets you a breakfast or most of the price of a special. I'd also recommend the free slot club coupon you can get from their website. The fun book has another $5 comp for food and a lot of other neat coupons as well. |
