Location: Downtown Fremont Street vs Fashion Show Drive (near the Strip)

El Cortez Hotel and Casino – Location

El Cortez sits at 600 East Fremont Street in the Fremont East entertainment district, one block from the Fremont Street Experience.

  • Steps from Fremont Street canopy, Downtown Container Park and The Mob Museum.
  • About a 10-minute drive to the Las Vegas Strip by car.
  • Walkable nightlife, restaurants and downtown attractions right outside the doors.

Stay at El Cortez if you want to be in the middle of downtown Vegas activity and walking distance to Fremont Street.

Trump International Hotel Las Vegas – Location

Trump International Hotel Las Vegas is on Fashion Show Drive, a short walk from Wynn/Encore and the Fashion Show Mall.

  • A roughly 10–20 minute walk to many Strip resorts; near Treasure Island and The Venetian.
  • Preferred airport: Harry Reid Intl. (about 4.3 miles away per listing).
  • Quieter setting than the casino-lined Strip because the property is non-gaming.

Choose Trump International when you want proximity to the Strip without being on a casino property.

Rooms: Downtown vintage rooms vs condo-style high-rise

El Cortez Hotel and Casino – Rooms

El Cortez offers a mix of original and remodeled room types across its historic property and adjacent Cabana Suites.

  • Room types include Premium Rooms, Pavilion rooms, Original 47 rooms, Cabana suites and several tower options.
  • Approximately 362–364 rooms total across multiple floors.
  • Rooms include standard in-room amenities and complimentary Wi‑Fi; some have Keurig coffee makers and bottled water on request.

El Cortez is for travelers who want classic Vegas rooms with downtown character and a range of budget-to-suite options.

Trump International Hotel Las Vegas – Rooms

Trump International provides large, condo-style guestrooms with kitchen conveniences in a high-rise layout.

  • 1,282 guestrooms offering refrigerators and microwaves in-room (supplier listing).
  • Rooms feature separate bathtubs and showers, safes and desks; complimentary Wi‑Fi included.
  • Non-gaming layout makes rooms generally quieter than casino hotels.

Trump International is better if you want larger, quieter rooms with in-room kitchen conveniences near the Strip.

Dining & drinks: Multiple downtown venues vs a small restaurant roster

El Cortez Hotel and Casino – Dining & drinks

El Cortez has several on-site restaurants and bars covering breakfast, casual and steakhouse dinner options.

  • Siegel's 1941 serves breakfast and lunch and converts to Alex Prime Steakhouse at night.
  • Casual and specialty venues include Hot Noods (Asian), Sushi Ichiban, Eureka! and a Starbucks.
  • Multiple bars and lounges on the casino floor, including Ike’s Bar, Roulette Bar and The Parlour Bar.

El Cortez offers a wider and more varied set of dining and bar options within the property itself.

Trump International Hotel Las Vegas – Dining & drinks

Trump International has fewer on-site dining outlets but offers a signature restaurant and poolside service.

  • Main restaurant is DJT (breakfast available for a fee) plus a bar/lounge and poolside bar.
  • Full breakfasts available daily (surcharge applies per listing).
  • Smaller restaurant roster but close walking distance to many Strip dining options.

Trump International suits travelers who plan to dine out on the Strip or want a quieter hotel dining experience.

Pools & outdoor (signature amenity)

El Cortez Hotel and Casino – Pools & outdoor (signature amenity)

El Cortez does not have an on-site swimming pool.

  • No pool on property; guests are sometimes directed to nearby paid pool options such as Circa’s Stadium Swim.
  • Outdoor swimming is not part of the El Cortez guest experience.
  • Spa and fitness facilities provide alternative relaxation and exercise options.

If a hotel pool is a must-have, El Cortez is not the right choice.

Trump International Hotel Las Vegas – Pools & outdoor (signature amenity)

Trump International features an outdoor heated pool, poolside bar and pool cabanas (surcharge for cabanas).

  • One outdoor pool with sun loungers, poolside bar and cabanas available for a surcharge.

  • Pool setting complements the property’s non-gaming, quieter atmosphere.

Pick Trump International when on-site pool access and a quieter pool environment matter.

Wellness & nightlife

El Cortez combines an on-site spa and 24-hour fitness with active downtown nightlife on Fremont Street.

  • NV Spa (12 private treatment suites) open daily with massages and reflexology; hotel guests get discounts.
  • 24-hour fitness center available to guests.
  • Nightlife is driven by the casino floor, multiple bars and Fremont Street entertainment outside the hotel.

El Cortez blends spa and fitness services with easy access to lively downtown entertainment.

Trump International Hotel Las Vegas – Wellness & nightlife

Trump International offers a full-service spa and quiet wellness facilities in a non-gaming setting.

  • Full-service spa with treatment rooms, steam room and sauna; reservations required for treatments.
  • On-site fitness facilities and business center for organized needs.
