| - Location: located at one end of the strip, the Excalibur is convenient to area public transport. The central attractions of the strip are within walking distance, but only if you're really prepared to spend a lot of time walking.
Room: the rooms in Tower II are recently renovated and come with a new flat screen tv, granite countertops, modern carpet and upholstery. I don't believe this is the case for Tower I, which still looks like it was furnished 25 years ago.
Casino: one of the more smokey casinos in town. I usually go elsewhere to play so I can enjoy better ventilation since I don't smoke.
Pool: there are 4 pools. The first and largest has never been open in the 3 times I've stayed here. It's beautiful, just never really available for guests. Also, the pools close at 6pm, but that's standard for Vegas. Otherwise I find them to be very nice with ample seating (although little shade until after 3:30). I spent quite a bit of time at the adult only pool in the back corner during my most recent stay.
Spa: The spa is very nice and allows guests full use of the facilities (private pool and hot tub, steam showers etc) the entire day of their appointment starting at 6am.
Shops: shops between the Excalibur and Luxor are standard resort quality and pricing.
Restaurants: the themed restaurants within the property are 2-star. Think Hometown Buffet or Golden Corral. Good enough food, a bit over priced, but convenient.
Shows: I've never seen any of the shows within the property as they seem a bit cheesy.
Overall: Great place to stay if you are on a budget and want to be near the main attractions of Vegas without paying the price for staying in the resorts that actually hold those attractions.
