"We are thrilled to unveil our latest expansion project, which represents a significant milestone for El Cortez and the community of downtown Vegas," Kenny Epstein, CEO and Chairman at El Cortez Hotel & Casino, said in a press release. "These enhancements arrive at a pivotal moment of heightened demand from both locals and visitors to Fremont Street."
