3 out of 5 stars - Cheap Traveler Review
Laurie and I have had two opportunities to stay at the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas. We stayed there this last week for just 1 night. We were able to get a really cheap rate on Hotwire for about $50 for the night. Two years ago, we did stay for about a week.
Overall it was a good hotel for the price. I would never want to spend over $100 to stay there. $50-$75 a night is a good value. They have high-speed internet available for about $10/night - rip off. The check in and check out process was good.
This last visit their internet was out and they were unable to process credit cards throughout the entire hotel. Bad for them. I'm sure it was a fluke.
The rooms are the reason to stay. They are quite large and clean. They use the antiquated air conditioner unit under the window, but it worked. Bathrooms are large too. The room comes with basic cable. There is no automated checkout system.
The casino floor is pretty smoky. They are getting better about having adequate non-smoking areas, but this place will always reek of smoke.
The buffet was also a good value for the price and they have a nice wide selection of food. They have a Krispy Kreme on the premises. A+++.
They have a Medieval Jousting Show. Too expensive.
I also like the fact that there is walkway access to both the Luxor and Mandalay Bay. If you want good value on the strip, definitely try the Excalibur.
