Description: El Cortez has been San Diego's leading landmark since its first grand opening in 1927. Its colorful past is vivid in the minds of all native San Diegans.
From its opening in 1927 through the 1950s, it was the most glamorous apartment-hotel in San Diego. The large "El Cortez" sign, which is illuminated at night, was added in 1937 and could be seen for miles. In the 1950s, the world's first outside glass elevator and the first motorized moving sidewalk were built at the El Cortez.The sign at the top reads "El Cortez" and lights up in red at night.
Why this is beneficial to the gaming community: San Diego doesn't have many buildings represented on here, so this would be great for not only residents and ex-residents, but it provides as a historical landmark and has an old spanish charm to it which might be cool for some cities.
