Yes, the food is very expensive at Delmonicos. My sis-in-law went and the bill was $500 for 4 people. But we went to NOLA which wasn't too bad price-wise. It was only my husband and i and no kids along so we splurged.
Where is El Cortez located? I was just in Vegas recently and there were tons of nickel slots and even penny slots!
I rarely go downtown.
I prefer the penny machines now, they are more fun than nickels IMO I won $800 on a penny sun/moon in Dec.
Of course I play mostly poker now, and just an occasional penny slot when I am bored :)
500.00 for four people?!? Holy cow :(
El Cortez is located past the downtown area. We went gambling there years ago. It still had the original hardwood floors in the slots area. I haven't been to Vegas in years, but I'm not much of a gambler. The strip is totally different, and imo not in a good way. I miss all the old kitchy casinos. I think if we make it out there(it's only a 3 hour drive), I'll play a couple of hands of blackjack. I had one hell of a time trying to find nickel slots. El Cortez had them. Just a little warning-it's a low rent hotel, if you know what I mean. They've remodeled recently, according to their website.
