I had heard great things about Capriotti's, so I really wanted to go, because I heart sandwiches! They have a strong menu of favorite's and some more innovated things. I had the Bobby, which has really shredded turkey (not deli sliced), stuffing, and cranberry relish. This is something I wouldn't necessarily choose, but I heard it was really good. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. The stuffing was delicious, and the turkey was waaaaay better than deli turkey, and the cranberry added the perfect touch ( if I had it again I would have added brown mustard b/c that would make it a 5 in my eyes)

New Year's spent in Vegas, a great experience. My girlfriend, her family and I decided to celebrate the end of 2012 and the start of 2013 by driving down to Vegas. It was a last minute decision and we realized it would probably be pricey and hard finding an affordable place to stay considering the nature of the events going on and the last minute choice. However, for 3 nights we managed to book a room at th Excalibur for roughly $500. Other places were ridiculously high ranging from $200-400 a night. We chose to stay until January 2nd in an effort to avoid the large amount of traffic and chaos it would be to get out of Vegas during the day of New Years. Now onto the review of Excalibur itself. The hotel itself, a bit less exotic or upscale looking as other places but still quite a twist having a castle looking hotel with two towers. Depending in the tower your room is located (Tower I or Tower II) you will either have a great view of Las Vegas Boulevard, aka, The Strip or a view of the highway entering Vegas. We stayed in Tower II and had a nice view of some parts of Vegas but not so much a view of the strip. The rooms were a nice size where you can choose to have a king bed or two queens. Bring your own blanket if the air conditioning/heater isn't enough as the blankets provided aren't true blankets, but nonetheless, the average temperature in the room remains above 60 degrees as you cannot set it lower than that. With checking in, you get a coupon book full of many offers. A good one is the complimentary two drinks within Excalibur you get where you only pay gratuity. It has a good selection of slot machines and various tables where you can play at and the Craps and Poker tables are often filled with enthusiastic gamblers. Of importance would be to sign ul for M-Life, the membership card that basically allows you to accumulate points at various hotels and casinos which include big ones like the Mandalay Bay, MGM, etc. I managed to rack up 500 points to get a free play balance of $10 and hope to continue to add to my point balance in the near future. The casino is a smoking zone so bring a surgical mask or something if you hate smoke. There's a food court on the second floor, a bucca de pepo as well, an odd place called Dicks Last Resort and it is connected to the Luxor and Mandalay Bay for you to explore. You can get married at the little chapel inside, get a water massage, see naked buff dudes dance, and get a bobblehead made! Overall I felt it was a solid hotel and casino. They had plenty of gambling options to choose from, good drinks, a solid selection of food items. A couple of things that weren't so great was the inconsistency of the "cleanliness" of the hotel, spit hanging on the elevator door, being hassled by some guys trying to give you "free" stays at the place and the old little ladies with their aged bossoms trying to get you to buy cocktails and drinks. Sadly, the buffet wasn't all that great, it did its job in satisfying my hunger but wasn't out of this world. Excalibur is chill, does what its supposed to do and is conveniently located on the strip. Will be back to visit the casino and perhaps the hotel in the near future.

Horrible experience! Starting with the waiter requiring a credit card to be held "hostage" for each party that wanted separate checks even if we planned to pay cash.. There were 8 people in my party for happy hour. I have been to this restaurant several times for Happy Hour in the 3 years I have lived in Las Vegas. They have recently advertised their restaurant quite aggressively. I will not (nor will the other people in my group) be going back again. After sitting there for almost an hour and repeatedly asking waiter for a drink (even water would have been nice), we finally got our drinks. I ordered a Corona with lime and was brought a Stella something or other...not what I ordered. Others ordered wine and were served something other than what they ordered. The food orders were all mixed up. Some people got their food right away and were finished eating before others even received their food. Then when we tried to pay our tabs and leave, the waiter brought the wrong credit card to the person asking for hers (scary!) We asked for the manager who took 30 minutes to come to the table. We were trying to explain our frustration, but she was looking over our heads at the table next to ours because they were complaining to the waiter as well. She never once tried to make things right. I asked for my credit card and my check. She said she had to run my credit card first. I told her I never I intended to use my credit card for payment, that I was paying cash, and that the waiter was holding my credit card "hostage". All in all, it was a terrible experience and neither I nor my friends will be back to this restaurant.
