El Cortez Player Room Review
Stinky, with characters, low rake, a lot of fun
08/21/06, Player: joebrazil3
Total Rating: 2.65
Room Quality Rating: 2
Room Quality Description: 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 Rating: 4
Competition Description: 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.
Dealer Rating: 3
Dealer Description: Nothing to note either in the plus or minus column. The players will keep you way more netertained than the dealers will.
Cocktail Rating: 2
Cocktail Description: 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 Rating: 3
Management Description: There' always someone on duty at their one desk. Really a three-table room isn't hard to manage.
Comps Rating: 3
Comps Description: 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.
