| - Yea..... I have not been to Excalibur since I was a kid and will probably be awhile until I visit again.
Excalibur was definitely one of the best as a kid. To kids, medieval anything was cool (at least to me haha). Knights, dragons, princesses, and wizards are all images I conjure up when I think of Excalibur.
However, stayed here with a group of friends recently and man... the magic of this place is gone. The water "moat" at the front is dry now. It definitely shows its age and the crowd... is less family and more... odd. With cheap prices, Excalibur now attracts the weird.. odd crowds and there's a lot of them. Perfect example being this old dude with super long hair just spitting on to the carpet on the casino floor. Nasty. The whole place just feels... dirty.
The midway games are still there but price has gone up per play so Circus Circus is still the best.
As for the rooms... old old old. TV still the old school tubes, dark lighting, and beds creaks. They were better than the low end hotels on the strip but it's due for a change. In fact, the whole room needs to be spiffed up a bit, but I can understand why Excalibur/MGM would not care since now Excalibur markets toward to cost-conscious crowd.
If I decided to go on a spontaneous one day trip to LV, then maybe I'll think of Excalibur.
