Best hotel for your money!!
My husband and I just visited Vegas last week and stayed at Excalibur. We loved it. We took the city bus around, and we had bus stops right outside of the hotel, so the location for the hotel was awesome. We definitely felt like we fit in at the hotel, unlike the other hotels you feel too dressed down. We loved Dick's! (restaurant inside the hotel) It was so much fun. We did visit other restaurants at other hotels. Nothing compares to Dick's. The pool at Excalibur was great. I was worried about other reviews talking about time share people constantly bothering you. It wasn't too bad, we learned quick who to avoid lol When they tried to talk to us, we just kept walking or said no thanks. Other hotels have time share people too. There is no way to avoid them at all in Vegas. Our hotel air was never cool enough for us but it wasn't bad. There was a miller lite beer on top of our light fixture when we arrived, and was never thrown away day after day with housekeeping... My aunt stayed in another room and put the "change sheets/replace towel" sign on the pillow as you are suppose to. And somehow the sheets never got changed (since the same rip in the corner was there night after night) We hung out at the Luxor for the buffet mostly, it was far better than Excalibur. We purchased the 2 buffets, all day thing for Excalibur, and Luxor and would recommend that to everyone! It is such a great deal, and we did that a couple days. The smoking at Excalibur was not bad at all during the day. At night, it wasn't as bad as the other reviews made it seem. We went to the tournament of kings, that was awesome. We just wish it wasn't so expensive. We even bought it at the discounted ticket booth on the strip after going to the box office in Excalibur and finding out how high it was so we saved a quite a bit going through the discounted ticket place that is located everywhere on the strip. I would recommend using them over buying tickets from the hotels. We would most definitely stay at the Excalibur again, we had a wonderful experience. We seen almost every hotel, and you would not regret this hotel! We were never in our hotel room, the lack of housekeeping didn't really bother us. If Luxor was the same price, or close to it (as it could be at certain times on yahoo) I would pick Luxor for the nicer hotel rooms, and hang out at Excalibur! They have trams that go back and fourth all day from Mandalay Bay, Luxor, and Excalibur. Hope my review helps you out on your decision!
