There is no shortage of cool hotel suites in Las Vegas, whether on the strip, off the strip or in downtown Fremont Street area. The one I'm showing you in this video is at the Cabana Suites at El Cortez. Although suites are often very expensive, today I'm going to show you a more affordable option that is practically a secret, since so few people ever show it. This hidden gem suite is connected to a very popular casino that's known for having better odds if you're gambling at blackjack, playing slots, and although the sports book area is small, they do allow you to bet on horse racing. You can find cheap food and drinks in the hotel as well as just outside of it. This place even has coin slots for those of you that love the "old classic" Vegas feel! Tell me if you think this room at Cabana Suites is one of the best deals available.

Your definition of a suite is different than mine. That is a room with a sofa and desk.
That's about right.
Buts it $58 in Vegas 😂❤
Wraparound terrace at Cosmo is my favorite suite
The suite at the palazzo is baller
@@totalDfitness you can get down to $20-40 in Vegas a night, no excuses. You can manage a whole week at an Airbnb for less than $150, no telling VRBO. Housing cheap in Vegas. Try that in my city, I've paid $3,000 a month for a 1 bedroom in the Mile High City.
I'm really digging the new style of filming. Whoever is behind the camera on this one did an amazing job!
this is off the strip is there resort fees like 25 extra a day?
yes i see there is but other places can give you this price not on saturdays or fridays
The shuttle only goes from the El Cortez to the airport, no pickups at the airport
Great vid as always Jacob! 👍👍
I like to stay here for the following reasons: weekend rates are 1/2 the price of the strip hotels, 1 block away so not as noisy as Freemont street hotels, and casino bi is low minimum and 3 to 2 payoff forblackjack. Also, there are two additional restaurants across the street that you can use comp pts including ayce sushi.
I personally like El Cortez. I've stayed in Pavillion, King Tower, and Cabana Suites. Highly recommended for cheap hotel and great atmosphere. I even met Jacob when he was leaving El Cortez last month. It was awesome to meet you.
@Jason I've never been to the EC myself. What room do you prefer? I think it's neat they have one floor of rooms where you have to take the stairs. 😊
I’ve never been inside the El Cortez cabana suites, but the room looks really nice especially in the downtown area. I ate at the Siegels restaurant too and I enjoyed my meal I had there. EL Cortez has been around for 81 years and it definitely still has the same classic vibes that we don’t see often at the Strip. I love the editing you did of this video, especially when you did the tribute for Tony Hseih who redeveloped Fremont East District . I lost $60 bucks playing the Buffalo slots 🎰, but I always had fun enjoying myself every time I visit the El Cortez. I love that you’ve shown the interesting facts about the place and the pictures that you took as well. Plus, the view is so beautiful 😍 I’d definitely go inside the cabana suites one of these days next time I visit the area. Born and raised here in Vegas myself, I definitely recommend the El Cortez to anyone who wants to see downtown Fremont street. I agree ☝️ that the area is rundown, but it’s definitely gonna get redeveloped someday. I went to the neon museum last month with my dad, and I remember going to the Cashman field where I watched the Las Vegas 51s baseball ⚾️ game when I was little. Thanks for making this video Jacob, I appreciate it a lot. Happy new year 🎈🎆🎊!
I haven't seen one of your videos in a while. The cinema quality of them is great. Both the editing and the optical quality. And your style is a notch up. But a lot of your older videos were a casual stroll through Vegas. Great job. My compliments to you and your crew.

Nice video, dude. You’re different than Norma, Pompsie, etc, you’ve got tons of useful info throughout. Keep ‘em coming!
Since 1998, it's been my favorite downtown.
Nice! I can see why
I loved this video Jacob. You talked about everything that I wanted to know about the El Cortez as I was thinking of staying there on my next Vegas trip. You're so well spoken and great for business reviews in Las Vegas. I certainly hope your reviews are picked up by these establishments and are appreciative of your efforts as you go over and above in analyzing every detail. Always look forward to your vlogs as I know they bring value to Las Vegas.
Add 29.99 per night for Resort fees ..
If u like this review, check out Pompsie for many more
30 years ago ghetto back than . Pros 25 cent craps and 50 cents Modelo beer 🍺. $3 Black Jack
Very Nice of you!! Hope to see you soon!!
My Grandparents from the LA area always use to stay at the El Cortez prior to the mid 70's when my Granddad passed away. I finally had the opportunity to stay there with my parents, son, & Grandmother in '86. I absolutely LOVED it!! ♡♡♡
One thing that really stuck in my mind is that amazing Grand Staircase! ☆☆☆
Been following you for a while Big J, and the production values on the videos have came on leaps and bounds of late! Good job man, keep it up! 👍
Jacob, I see you really upped your game on the production work for your videos lately. Great work!
You always come up with the best content!! We went to El Cortez a few months ago just to check it out because it's a historical property. We took some good pics of the outside but now I have such a better knowledge of the whole property. Thanks so much!
When I saw the title of the video I immediately thought of it was the El Cortez. My wife and I stayed there several years ago and it is such an interesting and historical place. Thanks for some of the historic tibits of the place.
You forget the following con : those neon green walls and ceiling of the room 😮
I forget how tall you are until your waking around the hotel with the camera behind you lmao
Hahaha
Parlour bar has some great live entertainment on weekends. Hal is a fantastic singer and takes requests. So much fun.
Do you come with the suite? Yes please.
My favourite area of Vegas is Fremont and the hotel with the most history is the El Cortez. I absolutely love it. Thanks for this video.
Years ago the area was “shady” as hell!! You didn’t walk around at night. We used to play there in the 90’s and stayed in the tower. I went last month to play some vp, little nostalgic, coin machines. El Cortez is where I hit my first $1 vp royal flush! I’ll never forget!
That looks pretty good. Thanks for the heads up! Two comments:
1. Ironic that they are called "cabana suites" and there's no pool. 😀
2. Unless that TV is more than 10 years old, it's definitely not a plasma. It's LED. 😝
Good points! :)
@@JacobslifeinVegas Pretty sure the shuttle only goes to the airport (Monday through Saturday), but does not pick you up from the airport. Always stay at the EC, including the Cabana Suites now and then (but usually the Tower).
Its over 10 years old. Maybe 20. They are 42 inch plasma tvs
As a glasgow rangers supporter, that room colour rules it out for me :D.
Great video. Would never thought ti stay there. Have gotten the prime rib before. Lots of good tips about this place. I might consider it when staying Downtown.
Thanks Sharon! It's definitely worth considering👍
El cortez. Our favorite place. Great location, great staff.
I don't know if I'll ever stay at a downtown hotel, but I just wanted to say that I really liked your video. The organization, filming, explanations, direction - it's all done so professionally. You really have a talent for commentaries, you make it seem effortless. You describe details and facts so well! Keep up the amazing videos!
Well El Cortez would definitely be quieter than my stay in Sept. at Four Queens, right next to the Downtown Fremont Street Canopy... Lol
Thank you DD! I do what I can!
I stayed at the Cabana Suites a few years back, and I didn't mind the garish green paint on the walls, but it wasn't soundproofed very well for outside noise. It was a comfortable room mostly, but I really loved the casino with the old school feel and it felt friendlier than most strip properties.
Thanks Jacob this was very informative !!!
Probably your best video I’ve ever watched. Great job!
Jacob, nice review of room, and property. I realized you're repeating what they are calling a Suite, but that is a hotel Room. Any other suite would be much larger, most are double the normal room size, and by square footage, that appears to be a normal room size. And resort or amenities fees are just a way to let the properties get their rooms listed at lower rates on different booking sites, these amenities where always included in your room fees back in the 80s and early 90s until these fees started appearing, and parking was always free, until the big boys realized, if folks are willing to now pay resort fees, let's charge for parking when you come here also. Just more nickel and diming, with more 0s behind it. At least the locals casinos don't hit you up to park and loose money in the machines.
That said, the Room is nicely done, and the hotel seems very clean, and the extra security measures, being close too the shadow lands, is definitely a nice touch!
Keep up the good work, always enjoy the videos and reviews.
For a really long time, the El C was my go-to for cheap stays, but then I got tied into MGM Rewards and it always made more sense to stay on the strip, especially considering I travel with family and the Cortez' 21-plus policy kind of removed the possibility of staying there. That said, I support their choice; there should be adult only options for lodging. Should I ever find myself there alone, you bet I'd go back, it's a great casino and if you like downtown, it's really hard to beat.
El Cortez is a great place to stay.....done so 5 times both in the main tower and Cabana Suites. A great value and perfect location for Fremont St area. Thanks, Jacob, for another excellent video and showing off your pecs!
I appreciate your lifestyle, healthy, happy, sober, sharp, and sweet! Worthwhile and informative watch, you offer so much, super trick!
Thanks Kelly!
@Kelly Pond My lifestyle is more interesting. Hedonistic, sarcastic, and treating my body like a rental car.
@@holdenc3082 check out coolist! Jacob, for me brings something fresh to the Vegas buffet...and really easy on the eyes!
Nice hotel and casino preview Jacob. Great location for those who don't want to be right next to the loud noise of Freemont St
No pool is a deal breaker for me but good as a recommendation if someone (that doesn't care about a pool) ask about a cheap downtown hotel that's nice.
Interesting fact, the Cabana Suites building used to be called the Ogden House. The first floor hallway of the Ogden House was used to film the death scene of Sharon Stone's character in the Scorsese classic Casino. There's a ton of Vegas history at the El Cortez. I used to see the late, great, Tony Hsieh at the Parlour Bar plenty of times. He would sit at the corner of the bar, surrounded by his Zappos coworkers. He had a mohawk for a while, so you couldn't miss him. Zappos headquarters is located right across the street from the Cortez. It seemed like a lot of Zappos employees hung out at the Cortez back when I stayed there.
Thanks for this great video Jacob! Keep up the great work! 🤙❤️🤙
Jacob great tour, great vibe, you are great at doing these vlogs! A true professional! Thank you for sharing. Joanna from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you Jacob for sharing your video and suggestions. Thank You!
Nice video, upping your game. Your hard work shows!
I appreciate that!
Around 12 - 15 years ago I was working as a barback there when these were being built. The Cabana suites use to be a really ran down apartment building from what I remember and they basically did wonders with the place. Every time I visit Vegas I stay there because it is also right next to the parking lot - so to get in and out is super easy as opposed to strip properties. Another cool feature of the place is since it is located behind El Cortez - it is probably one of the most quite hotels you can get on Freemont.
Formerly the Cabana Suites was known as Ogden House. It was a motel, but probably one of those places that rented by the hour, or by the month. The scene in the movie Casino where Ginger (Sharon Stone) ODs, was filmed in this building.
We are staying there for Christmas!!! Hope to see you out and about!
Nice LLT! Enjoy the trip!
The El Cortez…I did a pinup shoot, and that was my exact backdrop. It was a very cool room!
Great video. I have been coming to the El Cortez for over 50 years. Your description of the El Cortez is perfect, especially the prime rib special.
Thank you, man.
This is the hotel I was looking at. Downtown surprised me, and I wanted to experience it again.
That price for the room is reasonable.
I knew exactly where you were right away! I've stayed at those Cabana suites many times 😀 Such a cool place
“ I am Jacob this is my life in Vegas “ you keep forgetting 😢😢😢😢
😢
LOL. I'll see if I can sneak it in for a future video ;)
One of the best videos on the Elcortez Jacob.
Obrigado Alma!
The Village pub at Ellis Island had there 32oz Double cut Prime Rib for $21.99. It is awesome!!!
The El Cortez is a wonderful hotel 😊
Yup. Always stayed there except one time I rolled into town without a reservation and they were booked solid. Love the El Cortez.
i think it was fixed up i remeber storiesaaa long time ago
Just wanted to say thanks...I'm learning alot about Vegas...looking forward to taking my first trip there.
Another fantastic video Jacob. Cabana suites are on my to do list. Enjoy staying downtown. Thanks! Viva!
When I was there the airport shuttle was only from 7am till 2pm one way
Love the artistic video editing and reminds me of someone you know's editing style. Great information and great edits. Well done all around.
Great review, Jacob! Thank you!
The part where you smiled into the mirror table was hilarious, loved it 😂
El Cortez, I was there last week. Very historic property. I think that's Sweet at the front desk. Siegel's breakfast is luscious, huge. Use the $5 food coupon on the three eggs, sausage, bacon, and pancakes. It will get you through the day of sightseeing,
(even if you had decided to give up meat). At the Parlour I met the bartender Eder, and that's where I got my complimentary drink. I will definitely return, though next time I will have to have a pool, nearby. I stayed in Tower, the main building, absolutely beautiful room 714.
Staying at the el Cortez because of you!
I wish I'd found this before stayed The Thunderbird last week. Good work as usual
Next time! Thanks Oscar!
Thanks Jacob, I appreciate your videos!!!
I appreciate that!
The biggest scam of Vegas hotels is "resort fee" except summer season. RIDICULOUS!
I’ve been so busy I’m just now catching up on a bunch of your videos!
All good Olivia! I always appreciate your support
I love the slow motion shot of the people on the street walking backwards!! Thanks for letting us know about this place! I have vacation coming up and a birthday!!! yippee!
i think there is no rsort fees you have to see
High drug trafficking area go there to eat but don’t stay there
Great 👍 place! Thanks for sharing! Will keep it in mind next trip!
First of all I wanna say it was great meeting you at Grannyfest. Secondly the room that you were staying in was beautiful. I will totally stay at that hotel suite. Thirdly and lastly the video was amazing. Thanks for taking out your time to take a photo with me last month. I was so excited.
@Sweet Shelby Now all you have to do is meet Pomp and Greta. 😊
My eyes are strained from looking at that green paint
sometimes the back doors of casinos lead out to the fire escape gates, which are linked to the swimming pool area, and you can simply go there at night and sleep in one of those cabanas and use the towels as blankets during the summer when it's hot at night. it's completely free. although there are wild animals like possums and cats that lurk the darker corners and they have fleas.
Stayed at El cortez last trip in September. Stayed 2 days there before 4 days at Delano. I dig it. Cool to have old vegas and new vegas same trip. Went there once a year ago, gambled a little...but not much. got 3 nights free with perks from an email. Get those players cards! No resort fees, nothing. For a place I was at once. Room was remodeled and awesome. Only complaint was the opposite of your con. You had no view...we had a view of fremont and the strip in the distance which we loved when we got there. At 4am when the windows were still shaking from fremont? Not so much. If I go back, I'll request the crappy view. Cool change from the strip.
GREAT FILMING🎥JACOB.THANKS FOR SHARING
First time I saw it I knew I had to book it for a photoshoot.
I used to live at the 211 - Cortez is where I placed all my sports bets, great place
Wow, I learned a few new things, thanks for the video Jacobo, I need to try that coffee place in El Cortez
Free shuttle is huge, no kids-- sketchy east and north anytime of day, made up fees and poor ventilation..I live here, but would do a few days trip..its getting cold AF soon..so wouldnt miss the pool... nice job staying ahead of Geli on the sub count...she is a force for sure
My favorite place to play blackjack and I may have to look at room option next time
Good video. I learned more about the hotel. Keep up the good work
I saw Jacob filming this past May at the El Cortez. I was busy at the Keno machine so I didn't get up to greet him.
Thanks Jacob. Good vid as always. Don't know why but I love the El Cortez, and this from a guy who usually stays on the Strip. Lots of flavor, old school gambling, low key. Love the club sandwiches at the restaurant. And have actually won some money there. Thanks again.
That prime rib special is one of the best deals in town
Great video, though you should have mentioned at the beginning that the $58 was weekday only and not including resort fee. Also, would have been good to note the weekend price for that same room.
Thanks Jacob!
Thanks for the awesome video man 👍🏽 after watching this video I would definitely stay at the El Cortez cabana suites cool green color to the room. Great downtown location
I’m going to stay on my birthday. I’ve never even made it over to down town before when I’ve been in Vegas 😂 I’m excited
I was literally there from November 1st-2nd 2022. Got room 6112 downstairs and it looks nothing like this. No sofa, small crammed room with a bed corners id catch myself on from time to time. Didn't get a complimentary book voucher, nor did they mention anything about a boarding pass feature even though we brought up the fact we just traveled in from New Orleans on our way back home. The glass door in the shower didn't even close all the way.
You didn't check to make sure your room door closed. I'm in there now cleaning it out!
We loved them rooms .the showers are huge
I LOVE their prime rib. The open face sandwich is my fave.. i eat at siegels at least once per day when im there.
From the color scheme of the room I thought you might be at the DownTowner :D
Closed circuit tv, coast to coast hook up.
Love the colors and decor!
$10 baccarat is the reason I visit Ez Cortez, good prices and old vegas vibes
8:13 The hot dogs and Bratwurst are really good at Ikes bar. And they will pile on all the toppings (including saurkraut) at no additional cost. Great place to grab a quick bite and a beer.
This video is awesome, very well done 👍🏼
Thanks so much!
I got a great upgrade in hawaii ! I went from a regular room to a 2 bedroom suite w a huge living room small kitchen w a balcony facing the ocean
So..??
Ha! I knew it was El Cortez as soon as I saw the carpet! 😂
Stayed there, it’s ok but a bit small, and that damn green!
Stayed in one a couple years ago - really nice!!
