We chose the Excalibur as a way to save money - so I can't say that I expected some outstanding experience but having stayed at the Imperial Palace (which is more centrally located and still very cheap) on a different trip I wouldn't come back to this hotel.
1. The elevators were AWFUL. There was always a huge line to get on them and they were so slow. It seems like only one or two were in service at a time or something.
2. The buffet was totally disappointing. Vegas buffets are my favorite and this one was cheap yes, but delicious? no.
3. The pool was ok - nothing too special and they could definitely use a better laundry service for their towels. They had this pink/orange colored towels that were faded and dingy...just had a "gross" feeling to it.
The rooms themselves were decent. Nothing to report there. All in all I would say I didn't *hate* it but wouldn't recommend it.
