The El Cortez has a cozy sports book, with 24 TVs, and a Keno lounge, where you can try for the $1 million dollar Mega Keno intra-state progressive Keno jackpot. The roulette is just $2 minimum per spin, but you can get fifty-cent chips to put on numbers. And here I’m talking about $5 single-deck blackjack (that pays 3:2 on blackjacks still), and just $3 craps! This cheap craps game has $1 minimum proposition bets.

This may be because of their fair rules and very low limit games. It routinely wins the Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper’s “Best of Vegas” awards for “Best Locals Casino,” “Best Video Poker,” “Best Keno,” etc. The El Cortez is the longest continously-running casino in all of Las Vegas

Here’s a brief rundown of the nine casino on Fremont Street:Ī favorite of locals and senior citizens, (and especially local senior citizens), the El Cortez sits one block east of the Fremont Street Experience and is self-described as the “longest continuously running casino in Las Vegas.” It was built by Derek Stevens who owns two other Fremont Casinos, The D, and Golden Gate Hotel & Casino. The newest hotel and casino, across from the Golden Gate Casino, is Circa Las Vegas, which opened in October 2020. More specifically, this list is for casinos in the safe tourist area of Fremont Street, which is defined (by me), as the area starting at the El Cortez on the east, to the Plaza Hotel and Casino on the west. (Go here for a full list of all casinos in downtown Las Vegas) The list below is only of casinos physically located on Fremont Street. This contrasts sharply with the Strip, where mega resorts set on expansive acreage make casino hopping tiresome, if not impossible. All eight are easily within a short walking distance. Nine casinos dot Fremont Street, including one opened in the fall of 2020.
