Hotels are a lot more expensive during holidays but Excalibur had the lowest prices. We got a regular widescreen room was was actually a good size and clean room for what we paid for. Regardless, we are out of the room doing things most of the time.\n\nExcalibur is great location-wise. It's right at the intersection next to New York New York, MGM Grand, and Tropicana. It's also directly connected to Luxor which directly connects to Mandalay Bay. Basically, you can hit up six major casinos without having to walk far. It's also very easy to get in and out being right off Interstate 15.\n\nExcalibur also has a food court with a variety of places (even a McDonalds) which is good for people looking to eat cheap.\n\nThe bottom line is that if you are going to Vegas during the off-season, there are nicer hotels you can get at a low price. But during a time like New Year's, this is one of the best places you can stay at."^^ . . . . "1"^^ . "2012-08-09T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "4"^^ .
