So hotels.com had a last minute deal for the weekend before New Years (it appears many people found said deal.) Hotels on the strip generally are priced more than I paid for the entire weekend so price wise I was impressed. I have stayed in a lot of hotels in vegas, from the plaza (yikes), to circus circus...never..again, to the Signature at the MGM (piiiiiimp). This place was in the middle, which ladies and gentlemen..I expected. Check in was quick and efficient, they give you a coupon book with two free drinks for the hotel bars (in case you don't want to play)...I cannot complain about this, we had a 20.00 food voucher as well. Be aware like almost ALL strip hotels they charge a "Resort Fee" its the new thing..its stupid but it is what it is and it was still cheaper than normal. The room was clean, 2 queen beds, flat screen TV and Full view of the turrets in the middle of the castle. Needless to say my 2 year old was thrilled (don't ask...it just had to happen that way). Parking wasn't as bad as it could have been, we used self park, and could usually get pretty close to the door our rooms were near. The shopping is decent in the Excalibur, I do enjoy that it is connected to the Luxor and if you have the chance go to Popcornopolis (holy cow). Their buffet is subpar that would be my only complaint. Not a lot of options for the price, the presentation is meager at best. I would go to Paris or Harrah's before I would go back there. If you are looking for a nice bed to rest in, and not be extremely pampered (to each their own for their Vegas trip) then this place is for you. My philosophy in Vegas is there is so much to see and do, I can get pampered at home for cheaper and sleep when I'm dead. I would stay at the Ex again without issue.
