I was always a little leery of staying at the Excalibur, since from the outside it seems like it might be filled with families with children. I was also suspicious because it's so cheap at certain times of the year. But...not a bad place at all! Older rooms and older decor, but a decent place to sleep, shower and rest while in Vegas. Both times I've stayed, they've upgraded my room (not a huge upgrade, mind you, but an upgrade nonetheless). I can't speak much for the restaurants, shows, or any other entertainment at the hotel, but I do know that there is a plethora of friendly, good-humored dealers waiting to help take your money, and waitresses who always keep 'em comin'.
