What room? It is a small cut out from the slots. At least where it is now is close to the can. ... Read more »

had fun, my wife won some money and we'd play there again
By: cabopc
Date: 09/03/08
The poker room is in a separate area but it's not walled in. It invites walk-by traffic. There are 3 tables although it looked like only 2 of the tables get used very often. It's a little run down (as is the whole casino) but the tables and chairs were comfortable. The poker area was very quiet, which was a pleasant change from some of the other casinos we were and depending on where you are sitt... Read more »

Walked into the El Cortez at 6am
By: Lester
Date: 12/21/07
I was surprised to see an autoshuffler at the EC. I suppose with the rake at a max of $2.50 they have to hammer out as many hands per hour as possible. Table overall was OK but did not have built-in cupholders. Odd to see people using chip trays at the table. I suppose if a fight breaks out it is easier to run away if your chips are in trays already. Though slot machines are on three sides of... Read more »

Unique poker experience
By: dewey089
Date: 08/08/07
The room is small, but the disadvantages of smoking are gone and watching the passers by can be entertaining.
Remember that the game is like no other. One single dollar blind means you can wait all day for cards. six dollars on the river means you can wait to show power (and many old local rocks play just that way)... Read more »

Cortez now non-smoking
By: groverbg
Date: 01/16/07
The room is now a non-smoking room as of December 1,2006. They have also added 2 flat screen tv's to the 3 table room. Disregard the pictures of the smoking employees as that is a thing of the past. The felts/decks/tvs have all been replaced since the room went non-smoking.... Read more »

Stinky, with characters, low rake, a lot of fun
By: joebrazil3
Date: 08/21/06
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.... Read more »
