Excalibur Hotel and Casino

As some of you know, I just got back after a 2 week honeymoon to USA and Vegas was one of our ports of call. We stayed at the Excalibur hotel on the vegas strip and here I will tell you about it and what and what not to do there. Location. --------- Like I said its right on the end of the vegas strip. Its about a 10 minute taxi ride from the Airport ($10-15) and is situated with some very nice hotels. its on the corner of the Strip with New York/New York to its Left, Tropicana opposite and Luxor Nextdoor. Luxor is connected to the Excalibur by a monorail. Exterior. --------- Looks like a cross between the Walt Disney Palace and ...  Read the complete review

Main thing that attracted me with this hotel was the price. 59 dollars per night for a view room in July. People have said that the Venetian, Bellagio and Ballys we're the best but all they are, are hotels really. Buildings with thousands of rooms and thousands of people. Also, be prepared to walk for miles as this place is HUGE. I have never walked so far in my life, my trainers we're worn out by the time I got home, anyway; Excalibur Rooms, This hotel was clean, comfortable and friendly. We had a view room in Tower 2 on the 19th floor. The view was right down the strip and opposite the New York, New York hotel. All we could hear was the ...  Read the complete review

Stepping back to medieval times 'Disney style' is how you could describe your first impressions of Excalibur. This fairytale castle experience is not one to be missed when you visit Las Vegas. Make sure you book your room with a turret - that's where they put the Jacuzzi!! Our room's furnishings and linen were of a very high standard and 'themed' accordingly. Try the Excalibur Buffet (when we went it was $5.99). A fantastic choice of roasted and grilled meats and fish dishes, pasta and rice dishes, salads and vegetables. (The blue cheese dressing with real chunks of cheese is heaven!) - go back as many times as you like. Beware the 'help yourself' ...  Read the complete review

We stayed in the Excalibur Hotel in March 2008. At the time they were going through a refurbishment and some of the rooms had been updated to include swanky new LCD TV's and posh furnishings, but unfortunately we weren't lucky enough to get one of those. Our room was large, with one King size bed, a little table, and 2 comfy chairs. There was a spacious medieval style wardrobe with internal lights (needed because the room was quite dark) and a large TV. The room was nice and quiet, but you can't get away from the sound of helicopters flying past until the early hours of the morning - but that is true for anywhere on the strip. We had the ...  Read the complete review
