Best Seasonal Restaurants in El Cortez Hotel & Casino

Everything is perfect!🤩 Every time I have a chance, I go back.

Outstanding experience, food, service and view. The one thing that ruined it was of course people behaving poorly in public. The table behind us with the loud mouth woman consistently “like” talking about herself, “like” how rich she was and “like” how she knows everything marketing and “like” is the best at everything and “like” has a loud hyena laugh and “like” works for Panera in marketing.

My husband and I shared a wonderfully memorable Thanksgiving dinner at Hugo's. It included everything we could have asked for and more. The lobster bisque soup and the made-to-order salad were fantastic as well as the rest of the feast. Thank you, Hugo's!

Esther’s Kitchen in downtown Las Vegas is nothing short of a culinary gem. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that blends that downtown charm with modern elegance. The new location is absolutely stunning—high ceilings, beautiful wall accents, and sleek, loft style touches give the space a cozy yet upscale vibe. It’s the perfect setting for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a true celebration of Italian cuisine, and the chefs' spread is an absolute highlight. The selection of house-made spreads and the amazing sourdough, sets the stage for what’s to come. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared and elegantly plated, showcasing the finest local ingredients with a clear emphasis on authenticity and seasonal flavors. The flavors are bold but balanced, giving you the perfect introduction to the exceptional meal ahead. When it comes to the main courses, Esther’s Kitchen truly shines. The pastas are exceptional—handmade and cooked to perfection. The MARGHERITA PIZZA, for example, is served with a rich, savory sauce that perfectly clings to each slice of pizza. The FAZZOLETTI, another standout, is cooked with precision, its layers perfectly balanced while the meat remains juicy and flavorful. Whether you’re craving something hearty or a lighter fare, the offerings are designed to satisfy all tastes, with seasonal touches that elevate each dish. The wine list is equally impressive, offering a selection of reds, whites, and bubbles that perfectly complement the bold flavors of the menu. The service is warm and attentive, with staff who are knowledgeable about the dishes and wine pairings, making the entire experience well worth while. Thank you Jessy, who was our first interaction here. You set the stage for the rest of our night. And a huge thank you to Nelson for taking care of us for the rest of it.

It was our first time at Carson’s kitchen. Bianca S. was our server and she was awesome. The Mac and cheese was so good! We will be back again.
