| - I suppose I do consider myself budget minded when it comes to Vegas. My ideology behind my hotel room is that in Vegas, you're only going to go there to change, sleep, or utilize the toilet if you have a bad hangover. I am not going to scrutinize every detail or complain about the decor here, because despite its cheesy theme, I enjoy it. Who doesn't appreciate the medieval period of history? I sure as hell appreciate it!
It's been a while since I have stayed here, but I enjoyed my stay. I was pleasantly surprised at the room. I thought because people bitched and moaned about how old and worn down this place was, that it would resemble a roach motel. It was a nice, quaint little room with semi comfortable beds. I am not picky about what I sleep on, as lon g as it is some what soft. I am pleased to say that I slept my buzz off during my whole stay there.
I didn't gamble on any slot machines, but from what I recall, even in my alcohol induced state of mind, it seemed more family friendly. I saw a lot of families there, so I didn't spot that much eye candy. I was disappointed, but not too disappointed. I also don't recall finding a bar of choice at the casino, so I can't make a comment about that. The place was sprawling, from what i remember, and it was quite a walk from our room to where all the activity was, but I didn't mind. I was happy that I could burn SOME of all the calories I acquired from all the tasty drinks I sipped on.
Last but not least, it all comes down to the food court. I have a weird ritual when I drink. I attempt to not eat so I can get inebriated quicker. Mathematically, it sounds great because it means I don't have to spend much money. Or so I assume. Anyway, after many nights of drunkenly walking across the casino, with a pair of heels on on one hand, and a clutch in another, we all went to the food court so it wouldn't hurt in the morning. Although there were not a lot of choices for the calorie minded, our group simply didn't care because we wanted to eat in the comfort of our hotel. We all adjourned in the food court, and what was our option? Mcdonald's! Well, it was quite alright with us. We were okay with grubbing on salty fries, and eating as many burgers as we could so we didn't have to complain about a dry throat and a throbbing headache in the morning.
Excalibur isn't glamorous by any means. If you are a baller and have large amounts of money to your name, this won't suffice. Go and invest in a wonderful suite, and enjoy all that luxury for me. For po' folk like yours truly, this was quite alright for me. I had a comfortable bed, air conditioning that worked, and a mirror to get ready in front of. Granted, the lighting was horrible, but that's why it is common knowledge that after you are done applying make up,, you should drink so you think you look club ready. All in all, good stay.
