Excalibur Hotel

I’m extremely disappointed. First of all, how the hell am I being charged for parking when theres ABSOLUTELY NO parking spots? makes no sense. we pulled into valet & the valet was full… okay. we go into the parking structure 3 floors only, we circled the parking structure for about 45 until finding a parking spot. I’ve never had this issue at this hotel before, definitely a huge let down & don’t recommend anyone else to stay here.

In general, our stay here was not bad, but it wasn’t great either. We spent the night in Vegas on our way to Disneyland, and thought we’d stay on the strip to hit a buffet or see an attraction or two. This was the hotel that we chose online, mostly due to its proximity and cheap price. So the hotel was not bad. It was fairly clean, but lacking in common attributes such as in-​room coffee, fridge, etc. The bed was ok for me, but uncomfortable for my wife. We «upgraded» to a king-​bed-​room, and because of that we were honored with the privileged view of an industrial sized air-​conditioning unit outside our window. Now I know this is Vegas, and to be honest, this really isn’t my scene. But still, this hotel makes no attempt to even present a clean appearance or be anything special. When we left the hotel to walk on the strip, there was vomit on the sidewalk two steps outside the hotel door. There was somebody passed out in the bushes at the hotel. The presence of smoke in the casino and shop areas was very strong compared to other places we went. So yeah, not that great, but what do you expect from a bargain place in Vegas? If we ever come through Vegas again, I think we would either step up to a nicer place, or more likely stay at a more «regular» travelers hotel someplace away from the strip.

Stayed here this past weekend! Took my two daughters and my wife. The whole experience was awful!
Arrival
Got there around 1ish and was told our room wasn’t available. THEN was was told we could upgrade for an additional $ 15 a night to the Royal Tower room which looked exactly like the room we booked with a better comforter… An obvious sham to get us for more money, but to get my wife and kids off of their feet after the plane ride I opted for the other room at the higher price.
There was a special that said if you upgrade you received free buffet vouchers which we showed them on the website. They refused to honor it.
Went to the pool and was bombarded with tons of rap music and profanity (which I personally don’t mind) but thought it a bit in appropriate for my 5&10 year old daughters at the kiddie pool!
If that wasn’t bad enough there was an overly aggressive salesman trying to check out a timeshare for the place that had treated us so horribly.
And lastly adding insult to injury we decided to take them to the «Fun Dungeon» arcade that supposedly was to close at 10pm but when we got there at 9:15 half of the games were already shut down and after we had changed $ 50 into quarters the staff proceeds to go around unplugging machine after machine. The only game my daughters were able to play were 1 game of air hockey and 1 race car game after I had to literally argue with the attendant who kept repeating «We’re closed» despite the fact I kept showing her both my watch and phone that said it wasn’t 10 yet!
WORST SERVICE EVER HERE! WORST VEGAS TRIP OF MY LIFE!

I really didn’t enjoy our stay at the Excalibur. If I could give it a zero I would. First we had to wait an hour to check in! Total bummer. And then they gave us a room on the very bottom floor with a terrible view of a wall and air con unit. And then as we were going to sleep, I saw a cockroach!!! And when I woke up I found another cockroach, but this one was dead, but very large and our counter was covered in ants. In all my years of staying at hotels, this was by far the worst experience. It was disgusting.
My son is allergic to cockroaches and the whole time there he was sniffling. It’s awful that a hotel we paid good money for would make my child sick!
Never stay here!!!

Rooms has been remodeled recently. Very nice modern upgrade. Only thing bad is that you have to pay another $ 8 parking everyday other than the $ 29 for the resort fee. So if you got the room for $ 59, its like paying $ 100 with tax. Thats how they get you to believe you are paying cheap. This parking fee applies to all mgm resorts. Dont be surprise with this. Rooms smells funny as usual but excalibur is in the middle of the strip which also an arcade underneath which is good for kids. Just dont expect much and dont compare it to ceasars palace or bellagio.

Benito is the worst valet i have ever come across, told me to f*** off, that i was a loser; not only did he lie and tell me it was complimentary valet, but he gave me the wrong ticket!
I feel that this entire experience was a premeditated malicious attack upon me and my friends because of the way we look and the fact that I am a homosexual.
Not only did he scowls the moment we got out of the vehicle she was extremely fake which is why I feel that it was premeditated and malicious towards me and my friends.
I would never recommend this hotel ever but I would recommend any other Hotel on the Strip besides this one especially the Rio where they do not mind homosexuals.

A castle in the middle of Las Vegas was spotted afar in my car. I wanted to see what it was and indeed saw the beauty that almost made me feel to compare it to the castle of princesses in Disneyland. I enjoyed the novelty looking building and hope to return again!

I am a review fanatic and after reading some of these reviews I was VERY apprehensive about staying here but as I’ve said before, always judge based on your own experience. We came to Vegas for a wedding and had plenty of activities planned so this hotel was reasonable, good location and a good choice. We arrived late Thursday (about 2am) and left Sunday night. Check-​in was very easy! There is a resort fee associated with any stay in Vegas so the staff explained it covers fees such as printing boarding passes, the pool, etc. In my opinion, it seems a bit much but it must be paid. She gave us our room keys and directed us to our rooms.
The hotel is located next to Luxor and New York New York. Its on the strip and very convenient to get to other hotels or activities around the city. The entire hotel has is a Medieval theme, which attracts kids and adults. I didn’t see many children during my stay here except one morning I went to the pool area. The pool area is very big and includes a special adult-​only pool. You don’t have to bring a towel from your room, just show the attendant your room key and you can grab as many towels as you need. There were several bar areas, lounge chairs and Cabana’s for relaxing and/​or tanning.
The rooms were very spacious and clean. The beds and pillows were SUPER comfy– no problems sleeping at all. They have nice flat screens also. My only concern is the room doesn’t come with a microwave, mini fridge and/​or coffee maker. Its strange because there is a space right under the tv where a fridge can fit. Instead, it can be purchased for a daily fee– no thank you! We didn’t have a good view (not requested either) because we mainly needed a place to shower, sleep, get dressed and this hotel did just that. We had no concerns with room service. Once we arrived we noticed the safe wasn’t working properly so we called to the front desk, informed them and someone was coming to fix it 4 minutes later. I’m surprised they came so quickly, especially since it was almost 3am but he came and fixed it immediately.
There are several restaurants and shopping stores located on the 2^nd floor all ranging from Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Cinnabon, Krispy Kreme, Popeye’s, etc. There is also a buffet, steakhouse and a few other eating places along with nice bar areas. Need some jewelry or a handbag? Bag of chips or souvenirs? No worries as they have stores for that also. As expected, the food is a bit pricey but its very convenient. Some are open 24 hours (Schlotzskys for sure) but unsure on the others. The hotel also has plenty of slot machines and tables. I enjoy blackjack and to see they had a $ 5 table was heaven! Smoking is allowed but don’t think you can walk around the entire place and smoke, only in certain areas. While checking in, a man was standing in line smoking and the staff politely told him smoking is for the bar area only. Smoking is allowed while gambling too.
We were in town for a special event and seen no point of renting a car so I’m unsure how the parking is. We either called a taxi or used Über the entire trip and that went well. They do have a designated area they pick you up (per Über and hotel rules) which is near the casino entrance.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay and will gladly stay here again. The customer service was great by the front desk staff, housekeeping and concierge. Its in a convenient location, we felt safe at all times and whatever we needed the hotel provided. Thanks!

The pool. Was amazing. On Saturday, we hung out poolside, had a DJ that was just sick.
The food was awesome, not one place was bad. The bars were actually really nice there. The club was ok. The rooms were very clean and for the price it as totally worth every penny. They had a large variety of games. Poker tournaments, roulette, blackjack, slots of all types, we love wheel of fortune and of course craps to name a few. Everyone was very nice. The shuttle to and from the airport was a plus. However, do not expect a direct drop off. So if you are flying from FL to LV and then you drive around for 20 mins, it will annoy you. But, it was very cheep, like 12 bucks. We did have an issue with our bathroom sink.
We called housekeeping and in 10 minutes the problem was fixed. Thanks and good luck!

Not enough parking, no parking for guests. They charge $ 25.00per night for a refrigerator in room
Drapes don’t cover windows so early morning sun wakes you up at 6am, don’t plan on sleeping in late. Trucks start delivering at 4 am and there back up alarms are a wake up call. They don’t comp anything. Over priced fast food court. The selection and food is better in New York New York
Right next door.
We also had $ 100.00 worth of clothing removed from our room. Housekeeping said it was an accident and our dirty clothes were thrown out with the trash, after a day of searching for them a front desk supervisor called me and agreed to pay for the lost clothing. Watch the housekeepers

After our Yellowstone trip we checked in at Excalibur for our last night before heading back to California.
At registration, we decided to get the last 2 upgraded rooms. The rooms were smaller and more expensive than the regular rooms.
It was two queen beds per room, the bathroom was decent but no tub :(
My in laws room was the worst! It was the same exact room as ours but they woke up the next morning with no light! Had to shower with the door open because of that issue. I just thank God we didn’t stay in the same room lol
They were constantly having to go back to the front and stand in line time after time to get new cards because the card reader on the room was not working. It was such a hassle having to waste your vacation time on having to do that.
Definitely not a way to end your trip.

I stayed at the Excalibur for the first time during my most recent trip to Vegas.
Yes the outside is pretty cheesy looking but the rooms are pretty nice! They are clean too which is very important to me! My boyfriend and I weren’t looking for anything fancy, just somewhere that had a good location on the strip. The Excalibur may not be the fanciest hotel but it is in a great location; it is directly across the street from the MGM Grand and right next door to the Luxor. It even has a little tram that takes you to the Luxor and Mandalay Bay.
I always say that there is no real point in getting a super nice room that outrageously expensive in Vegas, unless you’re super rich and need a super nice room. I just need a place to sleep and get ready. Excalibur met all my needs and the beds were super comfy!!!
Plus everything is all medieval themed, which is awesome!
I would definitely stay here again.

Many of my friends disapprove of this hotel, but I beg to differ. Excalibur is definitely one of the less impressive hotel on the Vegas strip, but if you compare it to other hotels in another city, you’ll realize that the quality is amazing for the price. You have all the wonderful amenities of a swimming pool, a decent room size, and a large bathroom. It is also one of the cheaper hotels on the strip.
There were a few things that detached from its rating: the pillows, they’re way too tall. I prefer the flatter ones, but they don’t get you the option. The quality of the TV shows, it was very grainy like in the early 2000s.
However, most people that go to Vegas is there to explore nightlife, shows, restaurants, and shops, not to lounge around in their hotel and watch T.V. or lay around in bed all day anyways. I think Excalibur has everything one needs to enjoy their trip to Vegas while still keeping your wallet happy.

There are some bad reviews out there. This is an older casino but it is an amazing value.
If you get the bottom tier room yea they are probably not that nice. For a mid grade king room in the Royal Tower we got 5 nites for about $ 300 that’s not bad at all that’s resort fees included.
When I Vegas id rather stay @ a lower end casino and save a lot of money for gaming & experiences & dinners & shows. I do recommend Excalibur but don’t get the $ 22 a night rooms.
Also some people complained about the smell well all casinos smell it’s the booze sex cigarettes and cigars. I Vegas!
Also I read some people had trouble with the cocktail waitresses umm I’ve had about 10+ free drinks sofar u just need to be gambling and TIP the waitress! ($ 2-​$ 4 to start then maybe $ 1-​$ 2 from then) $ 1 tip is nothing in 2016.

I wasn’t amazed with this hotel once I stayed here. I looked at reviews and for the price, it seemed like a good value. It was a great location and within walking distance to many attractions. There was free parking. The pictures of the rooms online appeared nicer online than in person.
Upon check-​in, when we got to our room, we were hit with an overwhelming air freshener smell, like it was trying to cover something up. No table surface had been wiped down and there was a pile of hair on one of the bedside tables. Water stains and ashes on the other tables. Called down front immediately to alleviate the situation.
The manager met us at our new room and made sure we didn’t have the same issues as the other room. She was polite and attentive and gave us a partial refund for our troubles.
Overall, the (cleaning) staff need to pay more attention to detail. We didn’t stay in the room much since we were out and about so it was a good value but no one should have issues upon check in like that. It’s a good hotel for families traveling to Vegas.

Disappointed all around. From beginning to end. It started with checking in. We arrived on a Friday AM at 9ish. My friend is an Mlife card holder which gives you a separate VIP check in line. They told us that they don’t open that line until 9am and sometimes 10am… Which is it?!
After waiting 45 minutes in the other line we were told it was an extra $ 28 for early check in. Who charges extra? According to my friends Mlife card they quoted a $ 20 fee for early check in, but we were told that was an online check in only and wouldn’t apply. Whatever that means…
Our room was basic, which was to be expected. I wasn’t expecting MGM style. But it wasn’t even properly cleaned! There was a substance on the bathroom wall, and I found a piece of candy on the floor clearly from the last guest. Gross. And there was no fridge. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a hotel without a fridge.
I went to get ice one afternoon and a police officer asked me to move so he could check behind the soda machine. He was clearly looking for someone! Didn’t exactly make me feel warm and fussy! And we saw Las Vegas PD on our floor two more times later that day! WTF?!
Overall the service was subpar, the room was outdated and not clean, and we didn’t even feel safe at one point! Two thumbs down… Won’t be back…

I have stayed in many hotels over my professional and personal life. I have to say this one is one of the worst experiences of my life.
They had people waiting at the front door acted like they were going to check you in when in reality they were pimping some Time share like presentation.
Then we stood in the hour long queue line to check in. Having pre-​paid in advance and thinking we had secured the room we looked at much to our surprise we got short sheeted.
The room was dirty and obviously somebody had been smoking in the room. To make matters worse we had to walk the length of a football field from the elevator to get to this smoky room.
Long the way there was an abundance of marijuana smoke coming from this wing.
The carpet is dirty and worn out the fixtures are also old and worn.
When we called to bring all of these items to the attention of management, they were very Uninterested in even attempting to resolve even one of the complaints or move us to another room. Their attitude was basically tough shit, you screwed up booking a room with us. They did offer us to defumigate the room if we left for 2 or 3 hours. Can you believe that?! Defumigate with what? Another toxic chemical? I will battle this with American Express to not pay these bastards!
Bottom line, I will tell everyone I know what a miserable experience this place was to me and my wife. And I would never take my kids to this place.
MGM you need to do something about this, you have a group of reckless managers running this hotel into the ground. too bad I can’t give it a zero. Offering up a non smoking room that has obviously been smoked in doesn’t deserve to be paid for at the premium price
They also forced us into paying $ 28 for resort fees and the pool is closed. What a rip off!

Meh — I have never stayed in Excalibur — mostly bc it looks old and dingy… the outside adds to the charm of the Las Vegas strip and the view but I’m one of those people who is glad it’s there so I can see the charming castle from the outside at night — but doesn’t want to contribute to it continuing to function bc it’s smokey and old.
I walked through it years ago with my ex-​husband on our first trip and walked through it again to get back to our hotel after we watched the Thunder From Down Under show here… the show was fun — full of screaming drunk women (I don’t drink) and lots of man ass (toned man ass) so that was a perk — but the hotel itself is very smokey inside — probably has older ventilation than some of the newer hotels or something but it’s really bad. As a non-​smoker (I know I know it’s Vegas but I have my preferences) I prefer to visit the hotels with high ceilings and better ventilation in the casino like Mandalay Bay or The Bellagio.
I did also attend their nightly jousting show with my ex-​husband years ago and found it to be fun — but he did get the shits right after — so take that for what it’s worth too…

I have stayed at the Excalibur once, and have visited it many of times. The Excalibur is one of the more family friendly hotels on the strip (next to the Circus Circus) so I stayed here before I turned 21 with my parents and sister because we liked to visit the arcade portion of the hotel/​casino. I remember the room being basic, but clean and quiet which was nice.
The Excalibur is connected to the New York New York, MGM Grand, Tropicana, Mandalay Bay and Luxor Hotel/​Casinos so it’s easy to go from one hotel to the next without having to go down to the strip which is nice to avoid some of the crowds.
Dining options are semi limited at the Excalibur. The buffet/​café is OK and they have the national Buca de Beppo chain which serves average to good Italian food. They do have a really nice food court which I have to give them props for. I really enjoy the Krispy Kreme that is there, and I really wanted to try the Schlotzsky’s Deli which has a small stand as well. They also have a Yogurtland which is my favorite yogurt place.
The casino is on the older side (compared to some of the ones further down the strip) but it is kept up nicely and I always enjoy my time there. I would come back again to hangout, eat, or stay in one of the rooms.

This place is mehh… One thing I don’t get is the stupid resort fee’s for this place. Especially because the pool is being worked on and we had to walk to the Luxor pool if we wanted to use a pool??? Also a weird situation there was a ambulance by the valet when I came one night. I was told be the security guard even though I’m staying here I have to go somewhere else to park??? I just didn’t get it… Why do you have to shut down all Valet operations when when a ambulance is there. I get a fire truck… but why a ambulance when you could use YOUR RADIO and stop movement if you are bringing a patient down to that area??? Maybe its my military side but their security/​emergency procedure is stupid.
Speaking of fire… At 0230 the fire alarm went off. holy shit was I freaking out… I thought I was back in Iraq how f***ing loud that sh** was. There was no fire but that alarm is loud as all heck. The hotel itself isn’t too bad. Parking is a b***h, the slots and hotel floor are ok. The food court and restaurants are all pretty cool. Make sure you know there is $ 26.00 resort fees per day! Which was more than the Palms BTW. All in all the experience wasn’t the best but what do you expect from $ 25.00 a night!
Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $ 800 and go to Las Vegas. — Paul Samuelson

Das am 19. Juni 1990 eröffnete Excalibur Hotel widmet sich dem Thema Camelot mit seiner Sagenwelt und gehört zu MGM Resorts International. Das Hotel kann mittlerweile bequem mit der kostenlosen Monorail erreicht werden, mit der das Hotel mit dem Luxor Hotel und dem Hotel Mandalay Bay Resort verbunden ist.
Das Kasino Hotel verfügt über 4.008 Zimmer und gehört eher zur preiswerteren Kategorie. Das Gebäude ähnelt einer mittelalterlichen Burg und wurde nach dem Schwert Excalibur von König Artus benannt.
Das Casino hat eine stattliche Fläche von 11.000 m² mit 145 Spieltischen, darunter Blackjack, 7-​Card Stud, Texas Hold ‘Em, Bad Beat Jackpot Poker, Craps, Keno, Roulette, Renn– u. Sportwetten, 2.550 Slots, Videopoker und Videokeno. Die wohlhabende Kundschaft kann im Players Club «M life Players Club» sein Glück herausfordern.
Für das leibliche Wohl sorgen die Restaurants Camelot, Sir Galahad’s Prime Rib House, Lance-​a-​Lotta Pasta, Village Pub, Sherwood Forest 24h Café, McDonald’s und The Buffet. Im Untergeschoss ist ein Funbereich für Kinder mit vielen Spielmöglichkeiten und zwei Simulationskinos.
Man kann im Hotel auch in mittelalterlichen Kostümen heiraten oder die Show Tournament of Kings besuchen, die zweimal am Abend stattfindet. Ein ritterliches Abendmahl wird für die Gäste des Excaliburs angeboten, um sich wie König Artus zu fühlen.
Ein nettes Hotel in zentraler Lage am Strip für den preisbewussten Urlauber.

Wir waren im Excalibur zur «Australischen Bee Gee Show» und meine große Vorfreude auf diese Musik, war schnell erloschen. Die Musik für den kleinen Saal viel zu laut und das schlimmste war, das die Herren nicht gut singen konnten. Es war ein schlechtes Konzert.

Hôtel impeccable. Comme tous les autres du strip il se repère d’assez loin grâce a ses grandes tours et son immense château rouge et bleu. Ça fait un peu penser a un château de sable de professionnel !
Comme partout dans cette ville l’hôtel est gigantesque. Suivant où votre chambre se trouve il né vous faudra pas moins de 10 bonnes minutes pour accéder au Strip.
J’avais une chambre avec un lit king size c’est vraiment le meilleur. Les chambres sont grandes, il y a du rangement. La salle de bain est spacieuse et avait une très grande douche. Pas de frigo mais un distributeur de glaçons. Nikel pour rafraîchir le pré apéro.
L’hôtel dispose de plusieurs piscines. Je conseille celle pour les adultes c’est BEAUCOUP plus calme. L’eau est très chaude. Il y a aussi un Spa mais je n’ai pas testé…
Comme tous les autres hôtel il a un casino et plein de restaurants mais en plus il y a une supérette. Ça peut servir. Bref c’est une sorte de mini pays !!
Les locaux sont propres (sauf la piscine mais une douche en sortant et le tour est joué).
Niveau situation c’est nikel.
J’ai payé dans les 60 – 70 € la chambre.

Pratique, bien situé à Las Vegas près du MGM, le Luxor et le New York New York. L’architecture enfantine, avec ses aspects de château de Bavière tel que l’aurait imaginé DIsney tranche avec les autres hôtels à proximité mais les prix sont parfaitement abordables en semaine. Un peu trop d’enfants peut-​être dans les zones près du Casino et une chambre plutôt basique. Surtout demandez la vue sur l’hôtel New York New York, vous pourrez donc à loisir étudier les méandres de leurs montagnes russes avant de vous y aventurer.
