Historic El Cortez is in the midst of a $25 million makeover, brightening up everything from its casino floors to its rooms. The carpet blanketing the casino has gone from an old-school rose design to a colorful, tropically inspired leopard-and-leaf print. The 200 rooms in the tower got a fresh, light transformation. The hotel lobby is next.
The casino even recently opened a high-limit room, something it hasn’t had in its nearly 80 years of existence. “When the idea of the high-limit room came up, it materialized quickly. It’s a focal point of our casino next to the cage and all this beautiful design,” said Adam Wiesberg, general manager of El Cortez.
Inside the boutique high-limit room are three slot machines—the Dragon Cash machine from Aristocrat and two Super Charged 7s from Ainsworth. As anyone who has been in a casino in the last few years knows, Dragon Cash machines are some of the most popular around. The Ainsworth Super Charged 7s features a bonus wheel that players love. There are two high-limit blackjack tables as well.
