El Cortez (Las Vegas)
The El Cortez, a hotel and casino is a relatively small downtown Las Vegas gaming venue a block from the Fremont Street Experience and Las Vegas Boulevard. The official marketing slogan has been "Where locals come to play" since the El Cortez has traditionally attracted Las Vegas residents weary of large casinos geared towards tourists. Slots, table games and a race and sports book occupy one floor of the main pavilion. It is one of the oldest casino-hotel properties in Las Vegas having continuously operated at the same Fremont Street location since 1941. Primarily Spanish Colonial Revival in style, it reflects a 1952 remodel when the facade was modernized.〔Ron Sylvester, (El Cortez joins National Register of Historic Places ), ''Las Vegas Sun'', February 25, 2013, accessed February 26, 2013.〕 On February 22, 2013, the structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.〔(Weekly List for February 22, 2013 ), National Park Service, February 22, 2013, accessed February 26, 2013.〕
== History ==
Marion Hicks and J.C. Grayson built the El Cortez, downtown Las Vegas' first major resort, in 1941 for $245,000.〔Chung, Su Kim. ''Las Vegas Then and Now''. Thunder Bay Press. San Diego, California: 2005. p.56〕 The location at 6th Street and Fremont was originally considered too far from downtown, but it quickly became so profitable, Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Gus Greenbaum and Moe Sedway bought the property in 1945 from J. Kel Houssels for $600,000.〔Chung, Su Kim. ''Las Vegas Then and Now''. Thunder Bay Press. San Diego, California: 2005. p. 56〕 John Kell (J. Kell) Houssels, Sr. (1895–1979) had originally opened the 59-room hotel and casino before the sale to the major organized crime figures. Houssels purchased the hotel back from Siegel's group in 1946 for $766,000. In 1963, the ''Pavilion Rooms'' were added after the hotel was purchased by Jackie Gaughan. Another 15-story tower addition was completed in 1980. The 64-room Cabana Suites were completed in the former Ogden House in 2009 bringing the total room count to its current 364.〔(Las Vegas Hotels / Casinos: Time Line ) UNLV Libraries〕 Gaughan, a casino owner and operator since the early 1950s, lived in the El Cortez tower penthouse and was known to be on the casino floor almost daily.〔(EL Cortez History )〕 The property is one of the few casinos to have never changed its exterior facade in Las Vegas, retaining the same signage and ranch themed architecture for over seventy years.〔
