We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be seen by your audience 🙏 Keep up the great work! Pompsie and Greta are both welcome back any time!

I'm going to El Cortez to stay 3 days next week solely based on the pomps vid. Never ever seen any other reason to go to date. Big ups pomps and Greta.

I played poker with Jackie Gaughan a couple of times at the El Cortez. His nurse would bring him downstairs in the early afternoon (he lived in the penthouse) and let him play for a couple hours. He had a rack of chips (comped by the casino of course) and would basically play until he lost all his chips, and then it was back upstairs for a nap or whatever. It was so cool to play with a las vegas legend. Last time I played him, he died about a month later. RIP Jackie.

What an experience you had. You're a lucky guy. Heartening the you appreciated it. Jackie Gaughan was a founding father of Vegas, a giant. His son, Michael, opened the Barbary Cost in late 70s. That turned into Bill's Gamblig Hall and, after a makeover, into The Cromwell. Michael Gaughan now owns/runs the South Point Casino. Great casino with good odds, a 24/7 sports book, legendary $1.25 hot dog cart, no pretentious night club ...solid.

Shout out to El Cortez for being youtuber friendly and letting players record the fun at their venue. I'll be visiting next time I'm in Vegas solely because of this video review.

I have gambled at the El cortez. You do win there and the staff is so friendly and POLITE! (Cortez)

I don't miss the dirty fingers, but damn, the adrenalin rush of hearing those real, physical dollar tokens drop into the slot tray was matched only by the beaming pride in taking that heavy, full bucket to the Cashier's cage.

Plays at the High Limit tables for 10 bucks a hand and buys in for $100. Gotta love the ElCo!

Pompsie. I think your videos and hotel reviews stand out so much more in comparison to the hotel Las Vegas based KZfaqrs/hotel reviewers. Keep up the great work man.

I have family members that only stay at the El Cortez when they visit Las Vegas. They love it there and the history of the hotel.

Wife and I moved here midpandemic and your channel has taught us a lot and introduced the "real Vegas". Not easy to make friends when you're older and the glamor of the strip wears out. But you cut the tape and frills and bring Vegas down to reality, especially when you live here. Not a big slot fan unless it's those old one arm bandits, thank you for this one.

Woo hoo, someone took our advice and stayed at El Cortez. Kissy kat and Gamblin Granny are soo proud. We love this place. The patron margarita for 5$ at the bar is awesome.😎

I stayed there about 15 years ago way before renovation and I loved that old Vegas feel

Played poker a couple of times with Jackie back in the day. Very cool guy, definitely a Vegas legend. His son still owns casinos in town, and his grandson just retired from NASCAR. I always loved the laid back feeling of the El Cortez.

Now I want to stay there lol. This dudes videos is prolly the best marketing now a days. Legit.

i like that they dont act all covert and stop or discourage filming

No one was better editing skills and the story you tell via video is top notch.

Nice blackjack session! I have noticed that the El Cortez is very KZfaq streamer friendly. A smart move by El Cortez Marketing/PR team to get free marketing to their target audience. Thou it's an older property, with their new renovations, it looks more modern than some properties on the strip. Fantastic VLOG Pompsie!

I can’t watch any other Vegas vlogger! No one else compares...#🐐status

El Cortez is one of the last casinos where they value their guests and make hospitality a number one priority. It may be old school but it is the best service ever provided from yester-year without having the nonsense of treating guests like a business transaction as they do on the strip. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to stay there in a suite.

Went to an after-party at the Jackie Gaughan suite A few years ago.. one of the coolest room/party I've ever been to

I love seeing young people enjoy the past and respect it. Thanks !! Were going to book our rooms there !!!

The El Cortez' media and marketing team are doing things right. I wouldn't even know of the El Cortez if it wasn't for Pompsie and all the youtube gamblers they let film. Can't wait to check it out in person this spring!

I played poker with Mr Gaughan many of times. He always said "one for the money and two for the show" when made a vet. Such a nice guy he was.

Those short and sweet vids are nice, but I do appreciate the longer vids too, thanks Pompsie, for showing that this place is something special.

Pompsie & Greta this is great! Love the way you edit & and how much fun the two of you were having! The El Cortez looks sooo nice. Thank you for the history on the El Cortez.

My first trip to El Cortez was 1972, I love that hotel. I love gambling there as well. On one trip I actually got to meet Jackie Gaughan as he was in the casino. Back in the day they had hundreds of the old coin slots. One coin one pull. They were so fun. It was awesome when you had to haul several buckets of coins to the cashier to cash in. $500 in nickels is a hell of a lot of nickels. Security would lend you a hand and take them to the cashier with you,. Always a good place. My last visit was this February 2021. Also Bugsy Siegel , Meyer Lansky, Gus Greenbaum and Moe Sedway bought the hotel in 1945. The Mob owned the El Cortez until 1946. Jackie Gaughan also played poker in the poker room almost every day until he died. It is so history filled I love it. This is why i love Downtown. The strip is so plastic corporate phoniness and downtown is Nitty, Gritty, and very real, Just like the Vegas of old! Great Video Pompsie.

We love the El Cortez. We are nobody special and they treat us like family as well. We stayed in one of their specialty suites (I don't remember what it was called). We usually visit the casino on every trip to Vegas, it's one of my favorite places to play.

I L❤️VE EL CORTEZ, great drinks, gambling and staff! I will be there in two days! Thanks for giving the EL CORETEZ props!

That music track hit hard af! perfect!

Hi Pompsie..., One of your ( BEST ) videos and very informative.. * Excellent video.., watched the video, not once.., but three times' ! ! I like the "El Cortez", too.. Your friend always.., (Michael) Sean O'Brien in historic Uptown Butte, Montana.. :)

Getting the VIP treatment now. You’ve earned it. Videos are always on point and entertaining. I can’t wait till I get to Vegas again. I’m afraid by then you’ll be too famous lol

Anddddddd a DEGEN was BORN! You got the gambling bug. This was an awesome Vlog. I'm gonna stay here soon. This place is everything

Love the El Cortez! Nice people and a fun old-school vibe!

My son was a dealer at Flamingo for a period of time. He and his friends, also dealers from throughout Vegas casinos, used to go here as their spot to game and relax. True to the vlog, the hospitality was great, the gaming fantastic and a must do for any Vegas visitor! Great video, as always!

man, this place is def up my alley. When i roll through im absolutely staying here. thanks dude

Oh yeah, El Cortez are wonderful when it comes to customer service and gambling perks. Now i liked that throw back suite/penthouse way better then the one at Circus Circus. Thats retro without just looking old and outdated.

love the video!! I just stayed at the pavillion of el cortez last week for 3 days!! This hotel is so real! Totally recommend it!

I watch Pompsie videos to gear up for my Vegas visits all the time👌🏾

Great vid! You always have the best tunes ... Love that first remix from Always Sunny!

Wow! What a great vlog! Siegel's is great, the casino has a great old school downtown vibe- but now I wanna stay here! Love it!

I was there back in July, I have that same black T-shirt. Great place to stay & play

Pompsie -- I just came across your channel yesterday, watched a bunch of your videos and SUBSCRIBED. Your editing is great, you're a fine host -- and my favorite -- your MUSIC CHOICES are excellent. Your videos SLAP. Great job. Keep up the good work!

Very cool look at this casino. Have not seen a coin slot in forever. And Greta sleeping under the sink was hilarious.

Great job dude - Hi Gretta ! Great job in the casino. You gave us a private tour, and you didn't film people in the casino - I think that's important in Sin City lol You're killing it, and I'm super proud of you. I know the kind of work hours it takes to create your content. A ton of editing hours, that's what

One of your best videos yet! 👌

I love your music selection Pom. Very nostalgic vibes. Great vlog

Nice video... & I ❤ El Cortez! I've actually stayed in those historical rooms (original bldg. Fremont side) and they're actually quite nice! It always felt comfortable knowing the owner actually lived in the hotel. AMAZING to see Mr. Gaughan's suite!!

Gretta sleeping on everything, LOL. I remember those slots, when they took coins. Great Vlog brother. Very cool they allowed you to film the gambling. That big room was nice!!! Like the video phone. Haha. Epic!!

I'm impressed by the work you must put into these videos. The content above was very informative and entertaining. Your technical skills and production value are outstanding. I especially loved the Jackie Gaughan backstory and suite. He was a Las Vegas legend.

Hey Pompsie. My wife and I loved this video! We stay and play there always. My wife has been staying there for the better part of 45 years! It’s been close to 20 for me. We used to see Jackie playing at the poker tables all the time. It is “The best place to play” in all of Vegas!

Thank you for vlogging my favorite vegas hotel/casino. The vibe at El Cortez is the absolute best. Your videos rock 🤘

My Family and I Love the El Cortez! It was my Dad's favorite Hotel and Casino! Unfortunately my Dad ended up passing away November of 2020 due to Covid-19. He loved eating at Siegel's 1941, and also loved them gambling odds over there too! Thank you Pompsie for showing this video, it gave me a Good and Happy memory of my Dad. 😭😃👍👍🎰💰💵

Okay, that was beyond clever. Having Greta sleeping everywhere. I would give you 100 likes if I could.

My kind of place to stay!! Awesome video Pompsie & Greta

I LOVE the El Cortez! I was just there a few weeks ago and I mentioned to Adam Wiesberg that you make awesome videos and they should invite you for a stay. It's SO cool to see this a few weeks later!! Thanks for another great video and for the peek inside the Jackie Gaughan Suite!

Nice vid! El Cortez is super cute and cozy looking.

I live in Las Vegas and had no idea they had the coin slots there! Have to go now :)

@14:00 to 15:00 the part where you talk about how they treat you is a HUGE deal for me. Personally I like to gamble, have a good time, enjoy the scenery. I usually frequent the places that give the best energy, and treat me how you describe this place treated you. I also can see in your eyes when you say it, that it's genuine, and not like a paid gimmick. Keep going with these videos! I will definitely check this place out next trip to Vegas, especially to try the vintage coin slot machines!! Always wanted to try those.

The fact that they kept those late 70's video phones in working order is so cool! They could have just left them there as props... I can't believe they actually work!

Place is a hidden gem. Can’t wait to get back to Vegas and go there! Love the videos!

The El Cortez has a pretty cool theme to it. Pompsie showing the blackjack skills!

I've watch this video 100 times just because I love the El Cortez and the music and presentation is amazing Pompsi

I just got back from a three day stay at the Golden Nugget on Fremont St. I hated the GN and would never stay there again, but I loved the El Cortez and the new Circa. The slot payout at EC is the best and I left a winner all three times I played there. I got lots of bonuses and really good line pay outs too. They say their payout is 38% better than the strip and I believe it's true. The cocktail service was great and it wasn't loud and cramped like most of the other places. The blackjack machines at Circa are fantastic with a minimum of just $1 and the casino is beautiful.

One of the most informative of all your videos. Very special, indeed!

Seeee aren’t you glad I suggested you stay at the El Cortez a while back when you asked for suggestions! ❤️

Awesome video - stayed at El Cortez before and rooms were great, atmosphere phenomenal and food was fantastic. Great gambling and just plain fun!!!

Loved this video! It was really different, compared to similar topics out there on KZfaq. Really enjoyed it and can’t wait for my stay at the El Cortez in November!

So cool! I adore your videos. The music and cuts are superb.

Nice win! Love the el Cortez, great place to get lots of drinks while gambling cheaply

Sick bro. Another stellar vlog, and hey, it’s GRETA!

I dont want to make a movie lol.......you would think you have a whole production team your videos are AMAZING!great job!

Pompsie i love the feel of all your videos. your super talented

El Cortez looks like a great place to stay while in Las Vegas. It's a nice well edited video, I'm sure the El Cortez took care of you for the video review.

I may consider staying here because of you. Your channel is top notch & you got the iT factor. Keep up the good energy Pompsie & positive vibes!!!!

Love your videos. You are emerging as one of the BEST videographers! I've been to Vegas many times over the years. This Opened up a brand new hotel option in Las Vegas.

good video, feels like your back to being the good old Pompsie...genuine nice guy.

Great video! I like your editing style, you showcased the place well.

Pompsie never stayed at the Ep Cortez but when I go to the Raiders Game in September I may stay a night there. One of the best vedeos I have seen from Vegas KZfaqrs. This piece may be one of your finest. I shared this will all of my colleagues and Family Members. Thank You

El Cortez has a great old school vibe. I love that they usually keep beer on ice right at the tables. Really easy to get a drink if you are playing. Great single and double deck blackjack games. Unfortunately, my buddies and I never had much luck playing there....we’ll go back and build chip city next time

dont forget to tip the dealers when you win! :)

Thumbs Up ! Congrats on Black Jack !

Love the smell of the El Cortez!! The light fixtures throughout the casino and bathrooms are beautiful!!!

#WellPlayed Pompsie!!! Keep Up The Amazing Work Showing Off The Multitude of Unique Vegas Experiences 👌 👏 👍 #VivaLasVegas

Pretty damn cool Pompsie. The history of that suite and hotel is what amazed me. Good job!!!

This is your best Vlog ever! Very professional cinematography and very entertaining, I really enjoyed watching this. Keep up the good work!

Another AWESOME video 📹 👏 from the Dynamic Duo!!!!!CONGRATS 👏 on your $$$ WIN!!!!

Pompsie I have been watching you since day one, first comment. Love all your videos but I think this one was my favorite! Vegas is my jam! From Denver and we pop into Vegas every two months or so, definitely going to visit the El Cortez on our next trip, I love finding new places to visit when I'm out there. Keep up the great work, I love how true your videos are and Greta is spectacular!! Vegas is such a small world feel like I might just see you walking down the street LOL!!

I really enjoyed this video. I am not a fan of downtown Vegas, but I like that this place has some history to it, and not a megaresort.

This is a very best hotel and kudos to the nice staffers. I drove past this place a few months ago and thought it was just a plain Jane motel.

Bro, your video and editing skills are superior!!! I enjoy watching you guys! Thanks Pompsie and Gretta.

Hey im in this video! In the first 10 seconds checking into the hotel. I remember telling my husband you looked like someone I watch on YT and I was right!

El Cortez is so much fun! Congrats on the blackjack win. Enjoyed seeing more of the El too

The room looks solid! The photos on their website don’t do it justice

Pomsie and Slot Lady got me convinced . I'm planning on staying at the El Cortez next time I travel to Las Vegas .

Oh man, I was just researching El Cortez as a place to stay Downtown and your video popped up! I think it's a sign. It really sounds like an awesome place. Definitely going to check it out! Nice win on Blackjack! Ok so about this vlog. Pompsie, my man, you just keep getting better and better. Content wise, this was so good. Tons of information about the place and wow that Jackie G suite was like a step back in time to the 80s! Technically, your lighting, exposure, editing, focus, audio, and music is all on point! It's getting really good. Very impressed. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Been waiting on this review...I think the "el" will be my go to in the downtown area. As always you nailed it Pomps and thank Greta for discovering all the nokes and cranies...Super job as always...!

I'm happy to see that Greta was able to stay the whole time. I love your vlogs but always feel sorry for her that she has to go to work.

Great video! I had the pleasure of staying there just before the pandemic closed Vegas. It brought you back in time with the old well kept decor. The employees were so polite and you could feel that they cared that you were happy with your stay. In the 80’s I drove from Anaheim just for their $9.95 two lobster tail dinner that came with soup or salad, baked potato and a dessert! Thanks for bringing back the good memories.

Glad you won some cash at the El Cortez Pompsie. Those big bets you placed got me going. Got to be honest here, when you said you wanted to build it up to a grand, I rolled my eyes and said to myself He's gonna lose with an imaginary capital L. But hey, good for you and for quitting while ahead and cashing out almost hitting your goal.
