text: In Las Vegas for work againBut this time we looked for the cheapest strip room to stay and see how it is Normally we have stayed at the swanky hotels but this time we went for the night Excalibur Not because we had to because we chose to I did take a lot of things into consideration though when making the choice It is only across a bridge to get to New York New York or the Luxor It has a free tram to Mandalay Bay It does have a Dicks Last Resort restaurant which I always enjoynnWell I must say I was pretty happy with our selection For morenight we could have upgraded to their new totally remodeled Tower II but we did not Our room was not bad st floor with two queen beds strip views Beds were comfortable the shower was great I figured we saved at least night on a hotel Plus the Excalibur has lower priced gambling tables we did not gamble too much It is a quick walk to Planet Hollywood I love Blondies for lunch there we did actually go to Mandalay Bay Had an awesome hamburger at the Burger Bar burger the hamburgers cost more than our hotel room we did go to the Luxor we did walk part of the strip And the Excalibur is only a cab ride to Fremont Street Other pluses it had a nice pool that was not too crowded they offer FREE Valet parking with all our equipment that was nicennThe two downsides I can think of Tower I is far from the pool It was a much older crowd Other than that the hotel was not too smokey and it has a lot to offerAND you cannot beat the pricennOther quick Vegas tid bits Fremont Street GREAT as always and the cheap beer and tables more than make up for the cab rideNot to mention the GREAT people watching the live shows the videos Burger Bar Mandalay Bay Pricey but GOOD Blondies Planet Hollywood ALWAYS Great Dicks ribs wings were awesome
