To start, I would like to say that I love Vegas.  I am all about the casinos and nightclubs, and to me, a hotel room is just the place that you crash for the night.  That said, I have stayed at the Excalibur about 90% of the times I've gone to Vegas.  That is NOT because it is fabulous, but because it is decent and cheap.  The rooms are usually anywhere from $30-$60/night, and for Vegas, that is great!  And, let's be honest...spending less on a hotel room means that you have more money to spend on cab rides, drinks, and gambling.  And isn't that really the point of Vegas?\n\nAnyway, for someone who wants to really \"do Vegas right,\" I wouldn't recommend the Excalibur (maybe the Wynn instead?).  But, for someone who just needs a place to crash between bouts of fun, the Excalibur is perfect.\n\nPlus, if you're a total hotel snob (and I am anywhere other than in Vegas), you can just pretend you're a prince or princess because the Excalibur is a castle!  Always makes me feel better!
