I had some good memories staying at Excalibur in the 90s. The place always had good crowds back then in the 90s and had a blue collar vibe. I went back in 2016 to play in the gaming area and smell from smoking stands out the most. Still somewhat iconic to me as one of first theme design hotels.

I stayed at Excalibur in January 2022 mainly due to the location & have to say it wasn't that bad in terms of how well the staff treated me during my stay. However I have to agree with Jordan that the rooms are quite basic & the TV's are very bad. I also agree with him on the food court with my favorites being Schlotzsky's & Krispy Kreme. The main issue that I have to mention about Excalibur is the overwhelming smell of cigarettes on the casino floor. Overall it is not a bad property in my view but definitely needs updating to make it more modern.

I have no idea if it has improved over the last decade or so. I remember staying here in the 1990s. My lazy dad didn't bother making reservations at Circus Circus so we were turned away because - HORRORS! - no vacancy! We went to another, Flamingo Hilton (at the time Hilton owned it). Turned away again. Then it hit me: I suddenly remembered at the time, Excalibur was THE largest hotel in North America and the Strip looked so different that the spires of the castle stood out at night. I pointed it out to my dad and we rushed over there. They had plenty of rooms available. The decor was hilarious but as a kid, I enjoyed looking at the scenes of knights and kings fighting in the background. I remember the confusion of having two resident towers. I once went up the wrong side and had to spend a whopping 10 minutes getting to the other side as our room was close to the top floor. One night, I went back to the hotel while my parents checked out another casino. Whoops, locked out of my room. The key card kept getting rejected. It took a long time to get a hold of a manager but I managed to get back into the room after 30 minutes. By then, my parents had gotten back and were surprised to see the janitor helping me get into the room. The management apologized and comped me $25 to spend in the arcade. To me, $25 was a lot of money. I played the skee ball machines and actually won enough tickets to get a coffee mug and a squeeze bottle. I still have the bottle but it's buried in the attic somewhere. I do remember they also had a guy dressed as a court jester. He would guess things while the guest tried to fool him but he was amazingly accurate. One guy had him guess his weight. The guest stepped on the scale and he was right on the money! Amazing.

Royal Tower was renovated in 2018 I think. That furniture was hand-me-downs from Mandalay Bay. So the reason for the mini-fridge spot in the dresser was probably mini-bar fridges from Mandalay Bay. We've stayed at Excalibur 3 or 4 times now. I've never had a bad nights sleep in the beds there. I was Gold for a short while due to tier matching that is no longer done, and Excalibur treats Gold a bit nicer. You can check in at the VIP lounge. My wife and I went to the Buffet one morning and the manager came over and thanked us for being Gold and choosing Excalibur. Ok, that was cool. Anyway, Gold was a fun ride with no resort fees for a few trips. And the room being at the end of the hallway. Yeah, we've had that a couple of times. Luxor has now become our "Go To" for cheap stays in Vegas. We come for Vegas Golden Knights games, so being close to T-Mobile Arena is a must. The renovated rooms in the Luxor Pyramid are recent, with nice Bellagio hand-me-down furniture. And we sometimes have full comp'd tower suites at Luxor as well and have enjoyed those a few times. I get no suite offers at all in Excalibur. I completely agree with your findings. A decent, budget friendly hotel, and definitely fun. And again.. never had a bad bed in Excalibur. Oh, and one last thought. My wife and I travel together, so family style dining at Buca di Beppo is too much, but I highly recommend their weekday lunch offerings where you can get single meals for a great price. Good sized portions. That has become a regular thing we do now for food now. Easily accessible from Luxor over the skywalk as well. I believe that's 11am-3pm for the lunch deals Monday-Friday.

I will say this is a pretty solid review of Excalibur. I've stayed at Excalibur a few times and I agree. You don't have the glitz and glamour of other well-known LV resorts, but it is a decent place to stay on a budget and is clean. Casino is huge and lots to do and plenty of quick food options. This (and circus circus) are probably the last of the remnants of the "family friendly" Las Vegas era. I'd have no problem staying here again.

I grea up in the 90s when the Vegas hotels were REALLY trying to attract families so many of the Strip hotels had a cool theme inside and out. IIRC they found out that model wasn't as profitable so they went back to catering to adults and since, many of the hotel look so generic and boring!

Great report. I last stayed there in 2004 and my room was aged and dirty. It was my only time I ever stayed there. I had one woman friend who wanted to go to Buca di Beppo. We have one in Pasadena, and it is far from my favorite. I tried to talk her out of it, but I couldn't. I realize they are only a tenant of the Excalibur and Excalibur is not responsible for their food quality. I never had the courage to try the buffet or steak house. Beer and wine at the upstairs gift shop was still over priced and you could go across the street to the gas station and buy it for much cheaper. The only other place I ate at, which is now gone was Lynyrd Skynyrd's barbecue. Of course management of Lynyrd Skynyrd was probably paid a fee for the name and the band probably had no investment in the restaurant. The food was mediocre at best. I never had the courage to do Dick's. I think the Excalibur (sometimes called Circus Circus South) is on life support. lf they build a baseball stadium for A's at the Tropicana corner, I can see the Excalibur being imploded, even though the properties are unrelated. I can also see her neighbor, the Luxor being imploded. Report request. It is reported that since MGM Grand has taken over the Cosmo, they are already doing bean counting crap and changing how bars mix and sell drinks. The Cosmo is such a wonderful property and I really hope MGM doesn't ruin it. Anyhow, Happy Holidays to you and your wife. I'm happy they attempted to

I walked through this hotel while waiting for my room at NYNY back in November. The decor is actually pretty nice. I did like the theming. I did notice a musty smell throughout though. It kinda turned me off from wanting to stay there, but I’m glad I at least was able to see it. I’m part of the crowd that prefers a good mix of “budget-friendly” and luxury. I tend to go for the mid-tier properties. Mandalay Bay has been by far my favorite so far. They have a good mix of high end dining and budget options, plus easy access to Luxor and Excalibur.

I'm considering coming to LV by myself for the SB... when I look at hotel prices, Excaliber is the cheapest MGM property, & is comparable to South Point & Sahara. Excaliber is the lowest-rated hotel of the 3, but is also closest to all of the SB action at Allegiant. Any thoughts? I like the fact that they have a nice desk, as I'd probably fly out on Tuesday & would thus work in the room on Monday. From this video, the rooms seemed passable.

We love it for the price and proximity to everything else we want to do.

LOL, if people want to complain about the room design/decor, it has been IMPROVED. I stayed here in the mid 90s and it had hilariously tacky wallpaper with scenes from Camelot/King Arthur. It was hilarious. I like how Excalibur keeps the decor business-like: they give you the basics but won't overwhelm you with the insane eyesore designs some casinos have. Don't forget: there is a massive underground arcade for the kids as well as shows like jousting and horses. Your daughters will love that.

Built-outs in the casino because table games with a real human dealer are now phased out. Now I’m seeing they let the buffet go to crap makes me sad as Excalibur was actually my favorite buffet. Where has all the talent gone? They can’t find workers to perform at a standard anymore so they close the steakhouse. Where has all our culture gone?

As a teen, I needed peace and quiet to sleep soundly. I clearly remember having a room near the end of the hall and it was quiet. I never had trouble getting a good nights sleep at Excalibur. I do remember it was the hotel's anniversary so they had a MASSIVE replica of the hotel made from candy and icing in a display case in the middle of where the new buffet is going to be. When I stayed, I was surprised that it was the largest hotel in North America.

Fantastic review. Thanks for doing this. I do have a couple questions regarding things you did not mention. Admittedly I did not look through all comments to see if they were mentioned, but here they are: At first glance, the hotel website would seem to indicate that there are other room types, such as suites. Obviously these would cost more, but would they not also provide a more luxurious experience? Any first-hand details to provide on those? Next, the website seems to indicate that there is a Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant and a Mexican restaurant. Are these part of the food court, or elsewhere on property? Finally, you did not discuss the pools and cabanas as far as I can remember. What can you say about these, as this would be important to my family and me? Thank you.

The Buca de Beppo is on the second floor up the escalator from the casino floor. I do not recall a mexican restaurant other than the Baja Fresh which is right next to the casino floor.

Greetings ! While I love the outside of Excalibur …the rest of it not so much. Honestly I wouldn’t stay there for free. I’m MGM gold status as well and always have comps at the high end properties Bellagio and Aria which is where I stay . I do agree it has its merits if you are on a budget . And you are correct about MGM having a much better check in process than Caesars which is just plain terrible. Cool review 😎😎😎

Whoa, your Excalibur deep dive was like a medieval mystery tour! The room looked surprisingly decent, but those dirty castle whispers linger. What was the worst thing you saw at Excalibur, and did it outweigh the budget perks? Would you ever brave the castle again?

I actually stayed at Excalibur for Halloween week my friend booked the hotel.. your absolutely right it was a basic hotel.. only issue I had was that that my friend and I stayed on the 14th floor it had this weird smell from the elevator to the room. It was a musky smell, feels like that use to be a smoking area but they tried to cover up the smoke trail after all those years

Excalibur is better than Circus Circus. That's the nicest thing I can say about it. Looks as though it's cleaner than it used to be. Does it still smell like an ashtray?

The dirty castle…. 😂 Never stayed her but when I used to stay at Luxor, Excalibur always looked busy… I keep getting comp offers from MGM for Excalibur, doesn't look too bad and I may need to take them up on the offer.

they have the "stay well" rooms in the resort tower that's why its more. Instead of fully renovating again they give you shower filter and some an oil diffuser

We are fully comped all suites in the MGM world. Only spend about 15K per year for 2 or 3 trips plus 500 food and 700 free play and free shows like Bruno or GaGa. For us its almost free vacation. Compared to kids at Disney and Universal. We could get way more at Excalibur but its not our style. Play Black Jack and slots in the morning there. Not a place too stay too many families. Thanks for showing it. Love your trips and tips with your wife.

Casinos are no longer interested in loss-leaders. People don't gamble like they used to, and every square foot of a casino needs to be profitable, unlike the old days.

Looks like the dirty castle wasn't so dirty. At least for the room. The room though small, looked well decorated and had a nice view. I went yo the Tournament of Kings. I felt a little embarrassed as an adult going but I liked it, large cast, of course food not great, but pretty elaborate production for what it is.

I am staying there in April 24 for 7 night, I not mind this hotel, but I am staying in the stay well rooms which are a bit more done up but they are in the resort tower. Costing me $197 for 7 nights and I get $100 hotel credit and $100 slot play so to me it’s a winner plus I love the location

The buffets I've eaten at is the same food they feed the employees. I lived in Veas 29 years and have had friends who have worked at various casinos. They told me that the food served at each property buffet is the same food they feed the employees. When you are paying for an "all you can eat" buffet there is bound to be some degree of sacrifice on the quality of the food.
