Las Vegas Hotels in Downtown

Pros: Location, poker tournament pool fish tanks

Cons: Staff at front desk wasn't helpful. Overbooked from what I reserved. Was told no kings available i could upgrade to a suite at my own expense. First room was not comfortable and not clean. Obliged to pay extra for suite. I felt there was no reward for play at table games. Drinks took a while limited selection. Probably won't stay there again. Buffet was sub par.

Pros: The staff is professional & friendly. The hotel and casino were clean & comfortable. The restaurants were awesome!

Cons: I would like to see more Fremont Street chairs for guests. Open restaurant along Fremont Street.

Pros: Great location, Hotel / Casino was very clean. Nice large rooms

Cons: Very Sad that the Golden Nuggets # 1 amenity (The Pool) Closes at 7pm in the Summer. Totally rediculous. My son was so upset because we got their at 6pm and he had less than 1hour in the pool. Very Poor Decision cheating your guests out of an experience especially when you have the highest Resort fees of any hotel in vegas. I pay that to be able to enjoy your pool.

Pros: The casino staff were very friendly. Checkin was very easy. Hotel room was clean however was a bit outdated. The bed was very comfortable. The pool area was beautiful.

Cons: N/a

Pros: The pool area and restaurants

Cons: The old Carson Tower and the church bell

Pros: The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We were offered an opportunity to get our room upgraded at minimal cost. Our room in the Rush tower was beautiful. The on street access to Freemont St. Was awesome.

Cons: As first time visitors to Vegas we didn't know anything. Drinks are expensive but you can save some if you gamble but we didn't know enough about that until the end of our trip.

Pros: My friend and I had a wonderful time staying here at the golden nugget. Wonderful location, staff was friendly. I’m glad we chose this place definitely worth it!

Cons: Female night manager was rude and very unhelpful

Pros: The furnishings in the room.

Cons: - Our room was in between an ice machine in the elevator so it was very noisy - there was no soap in our room, the bathtub did not drain, the phones had dead batteries so In order to call down to the front desk for service we had to use the speakerphone. - We tried to order a movie but the TV picture was fuzzy and sound did not work. - when I called down for service the only recompense offerred was a flimsy $50 F&B credit that was not applied upon checkout so we had to attempt to call the desk again. - All of these things together with the fact that everybody feels like they can smoke pot up and down Fremont Street have changed my opinion of that area entirely Needless to say, we won’t be back.

Pros: Location, cleanliness, delicious restaurants, nice pool, fast Uber's

Cons: Pool needs umbrellas/shade, would be nice to have Bar fridges in rooms

Pros: I loved everything about this hotel and wish we would've had more time to enjoy our stay. We were there only for one night and I can hardly wait to go back! Everything was above expectations.

Cons: Time went by too fast!

Pros: Loved being in the center of downtown and walking out to Fremont street. Also when playing slot machines had a great waitress who kept a drink in my hand at all times. That was perfect. My kids (8) and (14) liked the water slide through the shark tank. Even if the overall pool was small.

Cons: Front desk person didn’t want to give me a room with two beds even if my reservation said so. Told me that was wrong. You want to argue with me, or apologize and try to fix the mistake? Her “fix” was to give me a smoking room. Yuck. The only options for multiple beds is two double beds. For older kids or adults sharing a bed, This makes for cramped sleeping. The room looked like it needed to be vacuumed. Very small bathroom. There was small hairs in the bathroom sink. Rust in the shower, and the tub drained slowly as well.

Pros: Very cozy and comfortable. Staff was amazing. Always willing to help in any way possible.

Cons: Rooms do need updating. We came with a large group and had quite a few rooms. Everyone ended up with some type of rash before leaving. Not sure if it was the hard water in the hotel, or whatever the sheets and blankets are being cleaned with.

Pros: I love the California hotel, whenever I visit Vegas it's my little slice of home (Hawaii). If you're from the islands the California is a pretty comfortable place to be. They have a variety of food choices, and a lot of things I can't normally get on the mainland. The gambling is fun, the people are nice, and overall I think it's a great hotel. The majority of the crowd is rather old so if you're looking for something more modern or trendy than you would probably be better off somewhere on the strip.

Cons: There was no microwave or coffee maker. I was kind of surprised by no coffee maker. I think curtains vs slats would be better for the window shades.

Pros: Great location! Delicious Hawaiian restaurants!

Pros: EVERYTHING! Updated rooms, Clean, just a great experience. The BEST of all was the Employees.,from the reservations agent, bell man, valet to the desk. Everyone was so helpful, not because of it was their job but because they like to help people. I should have gotten names but EVERYONE I dealt with was that way!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: location was very good ,quieter yet close to fremont street . staff were friendly and helpful . breakfast buffet was good deal

Cons: rooms are a bit dated but comfortable . charged for Wifi ten dollars a day seemed a bit much.

Pros: Price & location

Cons: Mold on ceiling

Pros: Nice valet

Cons: Bad beds smokey smell everywhere rooms were smelly air conditioning did not work

Pros: the staff was very friendly and helpful. the room was very nice and bed was super comfy.

Cons: that you can only ask for one extra pillow and it took forever to get it. and they need more 24 hour resturantes open. it was a busy weekend with concerts on fremont plus they had a craps tournament going and a huge line at their cafe at 3am. had to venture out to north vegas to get food cuz we didnt want to go back to fremont.

Pros: I enjoyed the restaurants and the all around service.

Cons: The valet and front desk personnel should smile more and remember that you need good personal skills in their field. All in all their service was good.

Pros: Quiet yet close to everything . A great value and being partnered with Main St casino made it very nice . Just a short walk and Main Street Casino is where you will find a value priced buffet for all your meals at a reasonable price . You could walk out the east door and walk across the street into Binons casino or walk a block to the Freemont Experience . Very nice location and easy to find anything in downtown .

Pros: Price point

Cons: House keeping "Threw Away" My Rasberry Pi 3, the internet is wildly overpriced for 2016, They forced me to change rooms mid-stay. and Eric Eisenberg, Eric Eisenberg, Director Of Hotel Operations was completely unhelpful in compensating me for all that went wrong. His response to my missing hardware and move was "Can I buy you a coffee?" Just a nightmare but hey you get what you pay for....

Pros: Appears to have been recently remodeled. Looks modern with great decor. The room was nice and surprisingly quiet for being so close to Freemont St. Casino was clean and very little to no smell of smoke. Decent rewards program that paid me almost 100 in free play throughout my two night stay. Will definitely be back.

Cons: Not much of a complaint but I like to play poker so I had to walk to Freemont St to play.

Pros: Friendly staffs, clean room, comfortable , convenience location.

Pros: It's right at the heart of Freemont street. Big name bands play right outside your hotel every Saturday night. You dont have to walk far to be entertained.

Cons: I wouldn't bring my daughter to Freemont Street

Pros: bottled water provided free convenient parking

Cons: no coffee maker no door or curtain on shower to keep warm air inside

Pros: Check in and out were easy. Room was very clean and I liked that it was within walking distance to the Fremont nightlife.

Cons: Didn't expect the Fremont experience to be able to be heard through the building, but they provided really nice earplugs so I slept fine.

Pros: Location , location. Location.

Cons: We checked in late they didn’t hold our room we had stay cheeper room and have to change a room next day

Pros: It was ok.

Cons: Expected more. It was fine, but given all the renovations and makeovers ar other downtown hotels (like "The D") I expected more. It was nice,clean, updated, but nothing to blow you away.

Pros: Updated hotel with a small but nice casino. Just far enough off Fremont where the noise isn’t an issue. Restaurants at the hotel were great.

Cons: Hotel rooms don’t offer much sound protection from the hallway or even the bathroom. The pillows were a bit hard for my liking.

Pros: It's a nice hotel to stay it's quite and Affordable

Cons: Small Casino & not to friendly staff. Some one stole our car Key in the middle of the night and no one had reported it and when we were about to get our car to go out and do side seeing we get a suprice new that the car key was stolen after 12hours No one care to report it to us. I'm professional

Pros: Woke up in the morning went into the bathroom and it smells like the sewer is backed up. Pack my bags real quick and got out of the room as we were leaving that morning anyways. Other than that this place is terrific. Probably an isolated incident but really put a damper on my stay.

Cons: The only thing I didn't like what that smell in the morning.

Pros: MLK weekend was amazing, Casino room was really nice. My wife loved how clean the restroom was. I personally loved the casino and the employees. Food was great, brunch was amazing!

Cons: There wasn’t much I disliked, about the hotel honestly. I can’t even complain, the only thing I can say when all guest check in give a guide of everything in the hotel. I didn’t mind walking around though, for real the hotel was really nice.

Pros: It was a wonderful day I enjoyed being there I would go back again

Cons: It was excellentNancy

Pros: We were in the Cabana Suites. They upgraded us to a king bed which was nice. I loved how it was separate from the casino so it didn't smell like smoke. I loved the free coffee and other free items. I loved our room it just seemed really luxurious and I felt very comfortable on the bed.

Cons: I wished it came with more complimentary waters and had free snack stuff but I know it costs money to the hotel. I was hoping for room service/food delivery. Seemed kinda small compared to other hotels I've stayed in but I get its a hotel not an apartment. The corner of the metal trim by the toilet was sharp and I always caut my arm on it. It was in unit 6215.

Cons: Loud music was playing whole night. Giving a pair of ear plug is not a solution.

Pros: I love the casino floor. Classic, smokey. Friendly staff and bartenders. The rooms are spacious, vintage. Comfortable bed. Shower works well and hot water always works. There's a functional window in the bathroom, which is nice and not available at other hotels. Air conditioner gets really cold which is great. Check out is at noon!!

Cons: No complaints

Pros: The decor, ambience, friendly staff, retro vibes, accessibility to downtown, and best of all; being able to open your window to watch owntown in action. The hotel was truly in the center of the center.

Pros: Room was nice and clean. Location is excellent and price was reasonable

Cons: Staff

Pros: I loved the location and I love that it's one of the originals. It's very cute. The food at seigels was pretty good too.

Cons: It smells like cigarettes and perfume. Not so much in my room when I turned my air down but with my ac on I'd start smelling it. Just the same like any hotel casino in Vegas but just a hundred years of it.

Pros: Close to the Fremont experience street. Not a bad deal given the price.

Cons: At the front desk you will be surprised by additional fees that aren't mentioned while booking. The staff are unfriendly. The room's service was very bad.

Pros: Easy walking to Fremont experience.

Cons: No pool and not kid friendly. Our's are 14-18 and still bored to death. Had issues with the electrical outlets. None of the bottom ones worked. We had to unplug things to charge our devices. I had to put my phone in the bathroom to charge. Speaking of bathroom, the floor was wet when we arrived, and remained wet. Even after putting down several towels.

Pros: Cabana room had good amenities.

Cons: Staff could have been a little more friendlier.

Cons: Crystal an El Cortez employee called me on my cell phone the 2nd to last day of our reservation threatening me. She told me that they were throwing all of our stuff out, that I should have already checked-out, that I hadn't paid etc. etc..... I explained in a calmly manner that it must be a mistake. My husband and I had booked the room for that whole weekend and that we had already paid for it. Crystal argued over the phone w/ me saying that I was in the wrong and that we better come down immediately to retrieve our things before someone else takes off with them. I again pressed that there must be some sort of mix-up. Crystal then proceeded to tell me to "come down and prove it". I was at a music festival w/ no ins-or-outs. I had to leave the festival which I paid $75 to be at to "prove" that I was in fact telling the truth. She was the RUDEST employee I have ever encountered, a real NASTY bit** They had cancelled our key-cards so we weren't even able to access the Cabana to see if our stuff was laid outside. My husband called and talked to them. He also had to leave the festival (another $75 down the drain) to go to the front desk to straighten everything out. They in fact had messed up and mixed my name up w/ another guest. They were very unapologetic. They reissued key cards for us that ended up not working. We had to go back to the front desk to explain that we weren't able to access our room. Finally, 4 key cards later we were able to access our room and check on our belongings. I have never been that angered at a business in my life. Here I was having a grand old time at this awesome music festival to get called out of the blue and threatened by CRYSTAL the El Cortez employee/operator that all of my belongings were being thrown out on the street. My husband and I have stayed at this hotel every memorial weekend for the past 5 years. We have never been treated this horribly before. They (Crystal especially) ruined what would have been a near "perfect" vacation. Needless to say we will never be staying there again. It's rather unfortunate.

Cons: Shower was broken. Parking attendant was rude. And ac unit barely worked. Called it

Pros: The staff was great..Had allot of fun .. The room was clean..

Cons: We didn't get to see the light show under the Fremont experience. Did they take it away for the zip line?

Pros: The South tower, rooms very nice with walk in power shower in bathroom.

Cons: Do not stay in the North tower, it is awful, desperately needs refurbishment, like going back in time about 50 years!

Pros: I stayed in Caesars Palace prior to my stay here, although the amenities are not the same, I loved the shower here, lots of pressure. The beds were comfortable. I had the Do not disturb sign on the door, and the head housekeeper called to see if we wanted the room cleaned, OK attention to detail, at least they called. The hotel is old, but what can you expect for the area....OLD VEGAS. I was surprised because although the hotel is old, the room was updated, could have used a better color carpet however. The area is noisy but that's par for the course. I would return.....

Cons: .

Pros: Room elevator short walk from casino. Good coffe at Fremont

Cons: Nothing much was liked. Even Blsckjak only paid 6:5. Had to go yo golden gate and the D got better blackjack Room had dirt, toothpicks and other trash around bed base. Just close north rooms. Why??? Food about like greasy truck stop st Magnolias

Pros: Great budget hotel with good casino and right in heart of freemont , good promo's

Cons: No gym , pool was not on property , older hotel

Pros: Magnolia caffe was the best place for food while I was ji
