Owner of El Cortez; kept it classic Vegas
Kenny Epstein acquired the [[casino:el-cortez|El Cortez Hotel & Casino]] in 2008 from Jackie Gaughan (the long-time owner since 1963; uncle to [[operator:gaughan|Michael Gaughan]] of [[casino:south-point|South Point]]). El Cortez has been intentionally preserved as a classic-Vegas locals/downtown property — coin-pull slots, deeply discounted rates — and remains one of the very few hotels in Las Vegas built before 1950 still operating under the original building's footprint.
