Somehow, I ended up staying at Excalibur during business conventions, often enough they turned out to have the best rate and convenience location on the Strip. Although being in the south side of it, they have good access to the nearby hotels and freeway access. They have very close by outdoor parking for both Towers hotel elevator entrance.
Tower I is where all the infamous dirty rooms are at, avoid staying there if you can. Tower II is a bit newer with cleaner rooms. Problems can general be sorted out with a nice tips to staffs. They usually come with a coupon book with varies deals for their restaurants. For some reasons, I actually used my free food credits since I always end up eating at other places. Casino ranks on the low end for the Strip area, mostly average people gamble here, and high rollers rarely seen here. At least this hotel seems kids friendly compared to the adult theme they filled with in other hotels.
Various hotel sites rated this place a three stars hotel, which is consistence with what I experienced during my stay here.
