I played at the electronic poker tables at Excalibur during my first Vegas trip in December so I decided to stay there this time. I paid $29/night for my room. At check in I slipped a $20 in my ID wallet and asked if they had any complimentary upgrades. She made a call and told me they would upgrade me (to a Widescreen Tower Room). She handed back my ID and the $20 and then asked "oh, is this for me?" I told her it was and thanked her for her help.

The room was better than expected. It overlooked the 4 pools and the parking area. I liked the fact that there was an 18-and-over pool and it was not very busy. The queen size bed was VERY comfortable. I had originally booked a king but didn't really care. The widescreen tv was nice and the furniture (dresser, table, 2 plush velvet chairs) was functional. The A/C was loud when I arrived but I turned it to Low and slept well.

My only real complaint is the window coverings. There is a blind over the window that leaves gaps along the edges. The curtains are decorative and do not cover the window. I tucked them into the sides of the blind to cover the gap. It still let some light in but didn't wake me up. I just thought it was strange.

The hotel was very quiet. The elevators were a little slow. The time share people did not talk to me once. I heard one guy tell another guest that they "have deals for families with children" or something to that effect. They did seem to be approaching families a lot.

Overall this was a great stay and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

I have stayed here twice and both times I paid about $110 night to stay in the Jacuzzi suite. With the upgrade the hotel was very nice. There are much nicer hotels on the strip, but I have found some of the best deals here. I do however recommend to get the upgrade. I have seen the knights show about 3 teams. To be honest it is very historically inaccurate and cheesy. It however is a relatively inexpensive show and it is fairly entertaining. Just don’t go in there with high expectations of seeing anything remotely realistic. The location of the hotel is good, but not great. It is on the strip, but it is a good walk to a love of the more popular locations. With all of this being said it is a good place to go if you are trying to save money. I however would stay away from most of the restruants in the hotel, they do not compare to the other places on the strip. I ate at the buffet once and I would not do it again even when it is free.

I recently spent 5 nights at Excalibur with my husband. We knew that it wouldn't be the best hotel on the strip because of the price, but we certainly expected more.

The towels were good quality and the view from our room (Tower 2, 23rd Floor) was nice (overlooked New York New York). The hotel is on a helicopter flight path, so helicopters fly by constantly. The pool was nice and not very packed on the days that we went. The location on the strip is great.

The widescreen upgraded room that we booked was not very renovated - the fixtures, bathroom, etc. were all very worn. The carpet was awful too. There were crumbs on the floor when we arrived. The shower door came off and fell on me when I showered one morning and after reporting it to several people and getting no response, I figured nobody cared. I just called and spoke to a manager about it again today and all I got was "sorry". Don't look for impressive customer service at this hotel - I don't think they care if I ever come back again, or how many people I tell my story to. There are plenty of better hotels (even on a budget) on the strip!

The hotel doesn't have much of a casino and the food choices are not very enticing. The dinner at the Tournament of Kings made me sick, but the show was pretty good (Vegas corny). Valet parking was full every time that we tried to park (at various times throughout our 5 night stay), so we were stuck parking far away in the self park garage/lot.

Watch out for the timeshare vultures - they get you as soon as you walk in and every time they see you after that. Some of them were downright unpleasant when I told them that I was not interested in their promotions.

The spa left a lot to be desired as well. Okay, it was disgusting. The showers were dirty and littered with used sanitary products.

Lots of kids, but still plenty of partying adults. One night we had a lady screaming outside of our door for half an hour or more before security finally showed up.

After all this, the hotel didn't even offer to comp one of my cheap room stays, dinners, shows, or anything. Crappy Vegas service! They will promise you comps for visiting their timeshare property all day, but not to make up for a horrible experience that you had to pay for - BEWARE.

We stayed in a very clean tower room, which had been remodeled to a widescreen room. Very spacious and overlooked the pools. Pools were wonderful with the water slide open for the kids. My 7yo daughter loved it. Sherwood Cafe was ok but overpriced. Buffet was great but buy at $25 all day pass & save a bunch of money by eating your meals for the day there! The Tournament of Kings show was spectacular and worth the money. Gambling was so-so but enjoyed the walkways and monorail to Luxor and Mandalay Bay. Shopping was great. Only complaint? The time share people are everywhere and hassle you every chance they get! Would love to stay here again. Was so relaxed from the days by the pool that I didn't want to leave.
