It is a good choice only for the price and location. It is old and rundown a bit. Bring the most comfortable walking shoes you have or better yet buy a new pair because you will need them. The room you stay in means nothing. You will spend countless hours outside the room walking countless miles. The room is just for sleeping, and for that the Excalibur is a great choice. At least with it's location you can walk nearly anywhere you want. Have Fun!

If you are just looking for a clean place to sleep that’s on the Strip then it is a good choice. It’s amazing how run down the place has gotten in 12 years in relation to other corner properties.

If you do decide to stay there and want to use the pool make sure you get a room in Tower II and not Tower I. And Sherwood Forest Cafe has a decent breakfast. If you plan on seeing the Tournament of Kings dinner show expect you will want to get something else to eat afterwards also. Greasy and not fulfilling.

I loved the Excalibur. I think you can’t go wrong with this hotel. It’s so easy to get around Vegas, all hotels are compacted in the same street. We walked the entire strip a couple of times, it’s just so fun going into each hotel. You should also take the kids to the circus in Circus Circus.
There is a bus that runs up and down the strip 24 hours.

Yes! I've always stayed at this hotel, it's fun and reasonably priced. They just opened up a new restaurant, redid the pool area and all the rooms. I think they also added onto their downstairs kids area.

And that would be a NO. If you have kids, then please, stay here. But mind you the property is big, the rooms are a hike to get to and the "south strip" location is not as preferable as a center strip location.

For a great choice that won’t break the bank, go with Treasure Island. Yes they are usually upwards of $100 per nite, but you get what you pay for. It is a nice but still affordable property.

Stay away from the Flamingo..just stayed there and it sucks, dont let the cheap rates fool you!

I recommend MGM. It's very nice, yet not as high ($$) as some of the other real nice casinos. Probably not that much more than Excalibur, and it sits right by the Excalibur. You still have the great location staying at MGM also.

I have stayed there before and can honestly tell you that’s it’s not the best by a long shot. Excalibur has taken over the reins from Cirus Circus as the "family friendly" hotel on the strip. Therefore, if you like kids, lots of them, screaming and doing the things kids do, this is the place for you. It’s also located on the end of the Strip, which makes its location far. On the plus side, you can ride the monorail between, there, Mandalay Bay and Luxor. The NY NY, Tropicana and MGM Grand are "across the streets". If you self park, be ready for a LONG walk to the hotel. In fact, getting around is always a long walk there.
If you want a better, yet practical place to stay, I recommend Planet Hollywood. It’s centrally located on the Strip, offers great food, shows, shopping and gambling. Also, its proximity to the other hotels is fantastic too.
Check out the websites below and good luck.

It's an awesome location. I believe it's the busiest intersection in vegas. The only hotel not worth considering in this intersection is the Tropicana. The Tropicana is a very old hotel wich I find depressing. The Excalibur on the other hand is a great place to stay; it is a hotel that provides standard rooms which I find above standard; and if you pay a little more you get fully renovated rooms. Plus the best deal and value you'll get on the strip with awesome connectivity with the other more expensive hotels wich you can walk to.
