On a downtown corner, the El Cortez hotel and casino is impervious to the passing of time. It opened its doors to the public in 1941 and will soon celebrate its 75th birthday, proud to be the oldest in town. It originally belonged to the Mafia and that gave it a mysterious air, which fitted in perfectly with its old school character. Even the Parlour Bar cocktails take you back to the last century!
