El Cortez Casino is located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas near the street that started it all - Fremont Street.
Fremont Street has been the site of numerous "firsts" in Las Vegas: the first street to be paved (1925); the first traffic light; the first elevator (the Apache Hotel in 1932); and the first high-rise (the Fremont Hotel in 1956). When gaming was legalized in 1931, the first Nevada gaming license was issued to the Northern Club at 15 E. Fremont Street.
