When it comes to pools in Vegas, the Excalibur boasts one of the lower tier options.
The pool is easily accessible by anyone (I think, we weren't screened by anyone).. so that doesn't make me feel comfortable leaving stuff to go for a dip.
Every pool is no deeper than 3 and a half feet. This a fact that was told to me by one of the five curmudgeony life guards that perch high above a pool, and seem to be some of the most unapproachable people in Las Vegas.
But back to the point.. 3 and half feet? That barely puts my legs in the water? Even the adults only section? Come on. That's brutal.
On top of it, there is no shade out here.. so burn or be burned in the wallet to rent an umbrella or a cabana.
If I didn't have a pool of my own at home (ie. had gone to Vegas to lounge by the pool) I would have gone to a better pool I know like Luxor, or Monte Carlo.
