Why Excalibur Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas is a Great Money Saver and is Worth the Value

The Excalibur Hotel and Casino is a nice place to stay on the Las Vegas strip because it has a great value. It is one of the cheaper hotels on the strip, and you will get your money's worth. I think they average between $50- $100 a night depending on the day of the week that you are staying, or the events that may be going on in the city. If there is a big convention in town, it could be more. It is also a great place to stay if you are bringing the whole family as every time that I have visited The Excalibur, I have seen plenty of children around.

The Excalibur's theme is Medieval, which you can tell even by driving by. The hotel is a giant castle, which has two adjoining towers to house their hotel rooms. This hotel and casino is starting to get older, but they do a good job of keeping it nice and clean. There are plenty of food options to please everyone. On the third floor there is a food court which has McDonald's, Quiznos, and Krispie Kreme if you want to pick up a bite. They also have a buffet which is pretty good and really reasonable compared to others nearby. On the second level, or the casino level, they offer a variety of cafes, coffee shops, and other nicer restaurants to please any taste. And for about $50 a person, you can go and see their dinner show in the basement which I have heard it is awesome.

The basement also houses their arcade, a huge selection of carnival style games as well as redemption and non redemption games. If you send the kids down there they will not be bored! It is one of the biggest arcades on the strip and one of the best. There are restrooms down there and it is one of the only places in the casino that is smoke free, so you can be rest assured that it is kid friendly. The Excalibur is also currently remodeling their pool, but it will reopen sometime this year (2007).

The majority of the shops at The Excalibur Hotel and Casino are located on the third floor. They offer everything from gifts to things that you may have forgotten on your trip. You can get an aqua massage there as well. The Excalibur's shops are some of the only places on the Strip I have found affordable souvenirs. Not sure why, just found that their prices are better. I also recommend visiting the fudge shop because they have some of the best fudge in town!

The Excalibur Hotel and Casino is located at the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd. It is towards the south end of the strip, between New York, New York and The Luxor. I think that it has a great location because you have good access to anywhere on the strip you may want to go. There is a elevated sidewalk you can take over Tropicana to New York, New York, or there is a moving walkway or free monorail to The Luxor. The free monorail also goes to Mandalay Bay, and it runs almost 24 hours a day.

Overall, I would recommend staying at The Excalibur Hotel and Casino because it is cheap and a great value. And, if you are traveling with children, there are plenty of options to keep them busy and happy the whole trip!
