Las Vegas Excalibur Hotel Review : Kathika Travel Website

The Excalibur Hotel, the medieval-themed, castle-shaped hotel in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, may not be the most glamorous accommodation in the city, but the dependable Excalibur offers good, solid value for money in a prime Vegas location. The hotel is also one of the more family-friendly places to stay on the Las Vegas strip.

Staying at the Excalibur
The Excalibur Hotel, a Vegas favorite since 1990, has more than 4000 guest rooms and suites, ranging from standard guest rooms, to remodeled “widescreen” rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and flat-screen TVs, to luxurious guest suites. All accommodations include wireless Internet access, cable TV, built-in hair dryers, and irons & ironing boards. Room rates at the Excalibur are generally more affordable than those of adjacent casinos, such as the MGM Grand, New York New York, and the Aladdin.

Facilities
Although Las Vegas is best known for its casinos, there’s lots more to do at the Excalibur than gaming. New is the 4-D SpongeBob Squarepants action ride for kids of all ages. There’s also a full-service spa and salon, a wedding chapel, and a landscaped swimming pool, complete with an adults-only area and private cabannas to rent.
