text: Keeping in mind the fact that this is only a star hotel and the nightly rate is quite possibly the cheapest in Las Vegas I will give it two stars We stayed in an upgraded widescreen room The room was clean and the bathroom was actually quite nice however I could not get over the smell in the room It could almost knock someone over upon entry It really did not get any better throughout our three night stay nnThe casino itself was fine The waitress service however was poor at best People were actually mixing their own drinks at the roulette wheel because the waitress never came around I have stayed in many different hotels out there and this was by far the worst The elevators were really slow While we did not go down to the pool our room did overlook it It actually looked pretty nice but I never went down there We received a comp for the buffet which we used and were pleasantly surprised by the food after reading some of the past reviews They had a wide variey of items which were all quite goodnnSome of the people staying at the hotel were younger which contributed to some problems For example a group of guys were still up drinking from the night before when we went into the casino at am They were fighting with people as they walked by Security dealt with this quite quickly There were two females staying in the room next to us who started fighting with each other at am This went on for about minutes and sensing it would not be ending any time soon I did call security They promptly responded nnWhile this certainly is a bargain price wise it attracts a different crowd because of this I will not be staying here again Past stays at NYNY and Monte Carlo were MUCH better in that same locationThe Excalibur is past its prime however would be an OK hotel if you do not care about the smell the amenities and are looking for a bargain basement price
