it was very nice but the last day i woke up to someone banging on my door and the room was flooded. Apparently someone flushed a towel down the toilet above us.I know it wasnt the hotels fault but they should be more then willing to compensate you for this. I did get two nights free but it wasnt easy, in my opinion the hotel should suggest compensating you, they made like it was no big deal. My clothes and my suitcase were soaked it was a real mess.

My husband and I went with friends to Vegas for a week in February. We chose Excalibur because it was the cheapest but still half way decent reviews. We learned from last time that we aren't in the room much anyway.

Still, we don't plan on going back there. The hotel was decent, but there was construction constantly as they ripped up sections of floor. Every time we came back to the room or got up in the morning a new section was blocked and a new detour had to be taken. A minor inconvenience by itself considering, but combined with the tight machines, poor air circulation (VERY smokey), and it being at the far end of the strip, it would be worth it to pay more for a nicer place. The worst was the time share people. They were down right rude - mocking, yelling, pushy. Most places you can say no or ignore them, but not these ones.

Still, if you are on a budget, it's one of the better budget hotels.

Recommend highly Dick's Last Resort and the Tournament of Kings.

We stayed for a week - to make sure that we had enough time in Vegas (but it's never enough time!).

The hotel was a bit old, but comfortable. They were putting in new carpeting while we were there, but the renovations were not an imposition at all. The rates were really good, and in fact a big reason why we chose to stay here. The hotel is not as fabulous as some of the newer, fancy hotels (Palazzo, Wynn, etc.), but it is fun and friendly.

The dinner show (Tournament of Knights) was awesome, and the cast truly got the crowd going. The food was very good as well. It was definitely worth the ticket price.

Dick's Last Resort was a hoot!! We laughed the entire time we were there! The waiters constantly kept us entertained, and were fun to be around. We even started laughing and joking with surrounding tables, it seemed like the whole place was one big party! Note though, that the place is a bit crass - which is why we loved it!! However, we were surprised to see people there with younger kids - definitely not appropriate.

The midway was fun, and the other stores and restaurants were convenient and well priced.

Although the Excalibur seems to cater to families through theme and having a midway, Vegas is definitely still an adult playground. We weren't sure why people would bring kids to Vegas anyway.

This is a really good value hotel, if you are a looking for a place to sleep with decent food.

We stayed at Excalibur for one night, with our two kids ages 5 & 8. We loved the dinner and the arcade/fair games. There were plenty of games in which the kids were guaranteed to win a prize - we ended up with an armload full which was really great. The employees were very good with the kids.
However, as is probably true of any hotel on the strip in Vegas, we found that we could hear the late night revelers running up and down the halls and yelling and even simple talking was easily heard while we were trying to sleep.. of course its Vegas, most people aren't in bed before 10:00!! But we were! We were in the newer updated rooms in tower 2 with the flat screen tv, they were nice rooms. Clean and comfortable and attractive.

One note: we bought tickets in advance to the Tournament of Knights medeival dinner ($$$$$!!!) and as were were getting ready to leave we walked by a kiosk with a hotel employee offering free tickets to that same show and/or other shows!! Aaargh! So next time I would check into perks/opportunities like that before shelling out the big bucks for that medieval dinner. It was great, but ask about discounts first! We were Vegas virgins and didn't know any better. The pool looked fantastic although we didn't have time to play in it... next time I would allow more time for it.
