I stayed here last summer with my parents and nephew, and my expectations were very low. So, I was pleasantly surprised. If you have been to real castles in Europe, Excaliber actually does a great job. It is a castle, not a mansion. It's old school stone castle feel. It was clean enough and my nephew loved it. Our view of McCarran airport and the mountains was actually pretty spectacular at sunset. I've stayed in dumps and I've stayed in the lap of luxury. I think my review is quite fair. Coffee shop food was better than Dennys, good enough that we visited several times for convenience. Even had fun secret gambling with Pops in there.\nAnd we LOVED the slide at the pool. Pool was also better than expected.
