Any opinions on The Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas?
October 21st, 2009
Going to Vegas for a couple of days but on a tight budget somewhat. This hotel seemed like a good deal for the price but not wanting to stay in a flea bag either. Any opinions would be great = ]
If you are going on a extremely tight budget, then Excalibur is ok. You really need to research your trip, and if possible play with the dates, to find the best deal.
Don’t let money be your only decision maker. If you plan to go to a few shows, for instance, try to book a hotel room/show package. Treasure Island has a special that includes 2 mystere tickets with a room purchase. My wife and I did this, with a view room upgrade, for not much more than the cost of a room at Excalibur. Even at Excalibur you can get deals. They currently have a "All You Can Eat Buffet for $25 special".
The quality of the hotel is only one concern you have. The strip is bigger than you may think, and you want either $7 all day unlimited Deuce Bus tickets or $24 for 3 day unlimited Monorail tickets.
If you chose to go with the Deuce, you can look at the possibility of staying at a Fremont Street hotel and riding to and from the strip. I personally think if you book between MGM and Palazzo at a 4 star hotel, you will be better satisfied. If Excalibur is good enough for you then you can also stay at Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall, Imperial Palace, and several others as well. If you want a better location and quality package, that sometimes is very affordable depending on the date, I suggest MGM, NYNY, Paris, Treasure Island, Mirage, or Monte Carlo.
