My husband and I picked this hotel because we got a good deal with Southwest Airlines Vacation pack- it was between this one and Circus Circus (and I've heard HORRIBLE things about circus circus).
Excalibur is nice- hey ... its a hotel with slot machines everywhere ...
We had an earlier flight and got to the hotel before our room was ready. The lady at the front desk said she got us a great room and for us to check our bags while we waited for the room.
The only bad thing about this hotel- there are these reps from some hotel for time shares- they told us it would be 2-3 hours and don't want to buy and you get discounted show tickets ... LIE! 4 hours later and horrible experience there ... I think I would have rather paid full price for our shows. ***
***this is nothing about Excalibur ... just what happened there***
When we got to our room- we had a view of the strip- Awesome room! BIG SHOWER! For the price- we did well.
Only negative about our room was we had 1-3 ants every day ... not too sure what that was from?
The hotel also has an awesome buffet- $29.95/person for ALL DAY! You can come back as many times as you'd like. For Vegas, this is a great deal!
Shows: Louie Anderson (if you stay here you get buy one/get one free tickets), Thunder from Down under (didn't see this) and some cave man show (we didn't see)
All in all, we had a nice time at this hotel. If you come on a budget, its not bad- if you have all the money in the world ... stay somewhere else.
