Question: Went in here for a "classic shave" after a night of gambling and winning. Thought I'd treat myself to a nice straight razor shave being on vacation and all.

I used a double edge razor at home and think of wet shaving with quality creams and using a badger hair brush to build lather as a nice relaxing way to take care of myself. I thought a professional would know how to handle a basic shave.

Wow, this shave was the opposite of enjoyable. I should have stopped the "master barber" from scraping at my face with a dull blade and leaving my face bloody and irritated. I should have stood up and walked away the moment that I noticed that she was shaving my face immediately after taking off the hot towel without applying any shaving cream. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and goddamn do I regret it.

She then tried to excuse her shoddy work and blamed it on me having "sensitive skin". Yes, blame your shoddy work and ill preparation on your client.

First of all, why would you need to make multiple passes of the blade if my hair was already short in the first place? and why would you make multiple passes WITHOUT ANY LATHER OR CREAM ON MY FACE?

I GET A BETTER SHAVE WITH A CHEAP CARTRIDGE RAZOR AND FACEWASH.

I went back up to my room and the irritation was getting worse and new spots of blood were appearing on my face, I then called down to the shop to speak to the manager, and she said she had another call and would get back to me(this was a lie because she obviously went to speak to the woman who gave me the shave). Then she stated the "you have sensitive skin" and then told me that after I've received a service there was nothing I could do.

She then told me she would call me back at my room to get back to me. I waited 30 minutes and she never called, nor left a message on my room phone. Why should I even have to wait for a callback in a hotel room on my vacation?

Terrible service on all levels. Repeated attempts to upsell expensive extras.

Question: As someone who compulsively had to read all 70+ reviews, I knew going in that the burnt ends poutine, ribs, and brisket were the most generally well received items. So that's exactly what we ordered. (With a side of Mac and cheese balls -- because, why not?)

I really wanted to love the brisket/brunt ends poutine, but it was just a smidge too salty for me.

I'm not a big rib person mainly because of how messy they generally are. So what I did really like about BSBBQ was that the ribs were dry-rubbed so while you could add as much additional sauce that you wanted, you could also eat them "as is" and they weren't messy, and still had loads of flavour. However, my husband (who loves ribs) only ranked Blackstrap BBQ as second (diablos is first, and le boucan is third) in ribs.

All in all, a bit of an uneven experience. We both thought the Mac and cheese was delicious, I loved the ribs and my husband was slightly lukewarm about them, and the poutine was generally a miss. Not likely somewhere we would go again unless we wanted take-out and were in the area. Because honestly, for roughly the same price, diablos has much more to offer in terms of atmosphere, drink options, and location for people looking to "dine in" and relax at a restaurant with some friends.

Question: Not everyone can be a King or Queen, but at least at Excalibur guests can stay inside an enormous castle-- for cheap!

At over 20 years of age (opened in June of 1990), this hotel is now one of the older ones on The Strip. The decor and furnishings in my guest room were kind of dated, but the room was clean and comfortable enough-- and had a view of New York New York and it's rollercoaster across the street. Check in and check out were a breeze, and a $20 credit for food and/or drinks at several hotel bars (plus a whole bunch of other coupons) was included. The room rate for the night I was there was only about $30, but even after the $20 Las Vegas 'resort fee' was added I felt it was still a good deal.

This property is IMMENSE; I found myself getting lost here repeatedly. Of course, I'm sure that's intentional since nearly every path leads back through the casino floor or past shops and restaurants en route to another casino floor. Once inside, it's a bit of a challenge to escape to the outside world again!

I was a little disappointed to find that Excalibur's "Fun Dungeon" is NOT, in fact, an S&M-themed brothel, but rather an arcade and midway. Oh well...
