| - Excalibur! What has happened to you? If I could write reviews on Excalibur when I was a kid, before MGM bought you, you would have been a fabulous 5 star rating - but then again, that was when you had knights and princesses walking around and the decor was much cuter and more theme-y.
But now... you're corporatized, bland and quite frankly - horrible. The rooms are very outdated, the decor is very plain-jane, and the staff look like they've been there since the real Excalibur was known as the Sword In The Stone days. Is there anyone - waitresses included, but gogo dancers excluded, that works at Excalibur that's under 40 years old, or at least LOOKS under 40? That sounds ageist, but really.. this is a vain city, is it really too much to ask?
That being said, I suppose that's why you're one of the cheapest hotels on the strip, right? Because everything else absolutely blows. Buffet is CRAP, do NOT do the breakfast or lunch buffet. Also, DO NOT eat at any of the restaurants IN Excalibur. I repeat and urge you of this. My friends and I (6 of us total) ate at the Buca DiBeppo that's inside Excalibur, and 5 out of 6 of us got food poisoning and spent the entire weekend in our rooms throwing up. The 6th member of our group didn't get it because she had recently gotten the stomach flu and her immune system was already built up against the crappy food, not to mention, she barely ate anything.
Don't stay here ever.. you can use the same money off the strip or at any of the other similarly cheap hotels - I bet Circus Circus is just as bad... good?..bad! as Excalibur is now.
