| - I like Excalibur.
There, I said it.
I'm sorry, but I do! For the past 11 years, we've visited Vegas at least once a year and I'm pretty sure we've stayed here 6 or 7 times! Yeah, it's cheesy. Yeah, it's dated (I hear Tower 2 is better but we stayed in Tower 1). Yeah, there are much nicer looking rooms at other hotels on The Strip. But considering I'm only in the hotel room for only a few hours a day, I'm OK with all of this. Besides, as someone who worked in the hotel industry for over 5 years, I know that just because a hotel is new and nice doesn't necessarily mean it's clean...lots of gross things can happen even in the nicest of hotels. But I digress.
For us, the rooms are always clean, the bed is crazy comfortable (seriously - best night's sleep I've had in awhile) and it's cheap! I'd much rather stay here and save $40-$100 to spend elsewhere than stay somewhere else that's "nicer".
Also, there are a lot of good food choices near Excalibur. Very important - we've stayed at other hotels before where they don't have the best choices and you have to venture pretty far away for a good meal. When you're on a strict schedule, having good food close by is important.
I don't use the pool or the spa, so I don't have any opinions about those but I've heard good things.
So, yeah, it's not perfect but it gets the job done. And that's all I can ask for!
