Is Excalibur Our New Favorite Budget Hotel in las Vegas? 

2:09 the waterslide is for adults too😂❤Resort Tower is our favorite as well. We had such a wonderful stay this last time❤🏰

Excalibur is perfectly fine. I’ve always had a good time there.

I’m with you Melissa the Excalibur gets so much undue hate. I won $5K there so I’ve a soft spot for this property.

The big stinky castle has amazing AC! We compared the AC to Cosmo and Excalibur won by a landslide. My parents love Excalibur. I ❤ Excalibur

MGM needs to cut you guys a check for this video. You covered everything so well, and I agree with you about this hotel

I just discovered your channel today and I'm really impressed. You're likeable, watchable, articulate and the video is well shot and edited. Hubby seems cool too. I'll be watching your old and new stuff from now on. Thanks for the great video...I would stay at the Excalibur now too.

I like that they added that Center Bar in the middle of the casino. And I'm surprised that Pizza Hut is still there in the upstairs food court 😮😮 Great video overall, and yes, the hotel may be outdated, but as long as it's clean, I'm for it.

I am a fan of the Excalibur, stayed there many times over the years. I do miss some of the old decor and theming they had in the 90's though, and the old 24 hour cafe they once had. I wish the steakhouse would have reopened as well as it always seemed to be rated quite high but I had not yet been.

Me and my buds have been visiting the Dirty Castle since it opened. We've known the 2 senior bartenders, John John & Bob, both of whom have been there since opening day, for 30+ years now (they both work nights at the Center Bar now, 2 of the best bartenders in town!). Love the joint. "It might be a dump, but it's our dump."

Nice review. I'm staying there 4 comped nights in late August. I've never had any problems there and probly have about a dozen stays there over the years.

My daughter and i luv stayin at the excalibur we stay there every time we go vegas at least once ore twice a year we are not goin this year but we are 4 my 60th nxt year and we will be stayin there and well done on ur video

I have stayed several days times and have had no problems. I’m actually staying in July for 9 nights.

Our first ever stay in Vegas was in the Excalibur. It was a pleasant surprise. It has easy access to a bunch of stuff on the strip plus the entire Luxor and Mandalay Bay resorts.

Great review, guys! I sent this on to my friends who are booked there for our fall trip

Nice review. Thanks! I've been thinking about staying there for awhile. It looks like there is a lot to do there.

I love the casino at Excalibur. I seem to have the best luck there. After the refresh they did to the casino, I find it as nice as any. The Pyramid Cafe has a club sandwich that is one of the best I have ever had. I have never stayed there, but it's a must every trip.

Thanks, Melissa and Enrique 👍

I have stayed several times at Excalibur and enjoyed everyone of them…last time in January 2024 I actually was on first floor and right beside Uber pickup it was perfect

Always enjoy this place and a great deal. I used to clean up in the Fantasy Faire (Fun Dungeon) back in the day. Plenty of stuffed animals.

Thanks for the review E&M We have been loyal to Caesar's because of comps But our next visit in a couple weeks I'm definitely going to get an MGM players cards & start building some tier with them Enjoy your day

thank you for this video ! i have made my decision to stay at the excalibur hotel, budget friendly and CLEAN is my thang :) cant wait to stay there. this will be my first time in LAS VEGAS! ***

Great job with this video❤

I would never turn up my nose up at Excalibur. Staff is always very pleasant, it's affordable, easy parking, we always have a good time and they are iconic. My only complaint is that we never get a good view in our comped rooms, that's it. Good times.

As The King of Excalibur, I love this video. This place gets a bad rep from people who've never been here. The rooms are clean, pools are nice (especially the 18 & up pool), the food court (glad Fat burger found a new home there) and I love the addition of the center bar (haven't checked it out yet) and gotta try the buffet. But fun fact about The Excalibur, The Royal Tower is actually the most recently renovated tower, that's why they have the different wallpaper in the room but it's time for the whole property a refresh

Thanks for showing the gym. I'm THAT guy who still works out on a Vegas vacation. Oh, and the arcade with Pac-Man, Space Invaders, etc, so that's another plus. And I came to this food court for Baja Fresh despite my stay at Luxor. I'm really thinking about staying here my next go round. Love the video. Thanks.

Those were nice pools. I haven't had a orange Julius in decades. When I lived out west. I would stay there. Its old like me😂 Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Saturday. Happy Father's Day Enrique ❤🥰❤

When I started visiting Las Vegas regularly in the late 1990’s I would stay at the budget strip hotels like Excalibur or Imperial Palace. I liked it the Excalibur’s location being within walking distance of several casinos such as MGM, NY NY, Luxor, Tropicana and Monte Carlo. The second floor restaurants had a McDonalds, Quiznos and Excalibur Buffet. But over the years I have learned to gamble enough to get discounted or even comped rooms from the higher end hotel and casinos. I still remember that Excalibur smell and was also squeamish about the cleanliness of their beds.

Believe it or not the slots were more loose then Mandalay and luxor Excalibor to play only stay away from pick up sticks

Nice review of the Excalibur

Excalibur seems like a good choice. Your reviews show it well.

I'm a gold member so I don't pay resort fees and my rooms across all properties are comped but I was looking at rooms the first week of Sept and the Excalibur was $18 a night for 4 nights. That's a great deal if I was looking to pay out of pocket.

I have had many good times there in the 90s but it’s been a while. Maybe I’ll stop in there in August. Thanks!

Hey guys. Never stayed there. Been there before, it was nice. We’ve stayed at MGM Grand and across the street at NY NY . Don’t worry about what other people think or say about Excalibur. Yes it’s dated but so are other hotels. How much time are you spending in the room anyway? As long as it’s clean who cares. Nice pools and places to eat without breaking the bank. You probably get a good rate staying there frequently too, maybe. Anyway have fun F*ck the haters. Be safe. 🌟👋🏽

Friends of mine found the Bar at Jokers Wild as a more down home bar to just have fun and kick back cause the prices are great. No idea about the rooms. But we thought the bar was the best including those on the Strip. Maybe it’s the lack of snooty people. Really enjoy your reviews!!.

I've stayed there 16 years they have always been good to me

Excalibur is a solid budget property albeit dated and worn. Has everything you need for fun in Vegas. Spot on review. 2 thumbs up. cheers

Agree Wynn Encore is a very nice room facing the Strip. Try Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, pool on the 57th floor that’s three building long. Pretty cool too.

My favorite place in las vegas!! Love the castle 🏰

Hello and thanks for this usefull video! I'll stay in this hotel in October for a week, for a Travel Convention. Can I ask you where do you recommend to have quick and low budget breakfast? Thanks and regards from Argentina!

Best value hotel on the strip always stay at excalibur

I really like that it's connected to Luxor and Mandalay Bay. 🙂 I'd love to see a Mandalay Bay review! Thank you, guys! ❤❤

nice review, agreed on the corny theme, but it looks like fun.

The Excalibur is a great hotel, I enjoyed my stay while I was in Vegas 😊

I should like to make a suggestion to Excalibur Hotel. I visited Las Vegas for the first time in 25years, and stayed to the Excalibur Hotel. When I went to the parking lot building, customers who came on a long trip urinated everywhere. I’m the only one who doesn’t know the smell was so disgusting that I never wanted to go that Hotel again. So I think it would be a good idea to at least have a portable toilets.

Excalibur has that Vegasfeel! Also, Catholic Church across the street behind ampm to go on Sundays!

The "dirty castle" narrative is tired and lazy but it's a quick, easy way to announce that you are "in the know". I have seen too many Excalibur reviews that have a title like "Is Excalibur really is so dirty?" and by the end many of the reviews predictably say it's really not that bad and they explain it's a good value for budget tourists. The "dirty castle" narrative reviews with the click bait title will tend to get more eyeballs but this review and title is spot on and well done. It was also good to address the "dirty castle" narrative because it has become another Vegas myth. This review is a Ferrari about a Camry.

Clean is good.

The Royal tower got all Mandalay Bay’s old furniture when they remodeled in 2015. Won’t be surprised if they dump all MGM Grands old furniture in the Resort tower after their renovation. Excalibur could be great if they invested in giving it the full renovation it deserves in stead of hand me downs.

I Liked The Times I stayed at Excalibur The last time I Stayed there was 2012-14 So it’s been a while ,

I'v stayed at excalibur numerous times from 2001 to 2018. from the old tower rooms to the remodeled widescreen rooms the resort tower rooms called now. never had a bad dirty room never. they were bashed left and right for bedbugs especially the original rooms. never saw one bug and rooms were always spotless and stocked. THey always had the nicest staff so many good deals they would give vouchers for buffet and cocktails and beers. The pools have always been nice. The original pool area was so cool it had like weeping willows and pine trees and a bridge crossing the pool it looked really medieval. The pool complex remodel was done very well. They would have live pool music was so much fun one summer they had it and the singer got in pool and was singing with the guests. The casino is a blast and had good luck. They use to have great restaurants in the past it really sucks now though. THe old buffet was so good it got such a bad rap. They had so much food and great meats. Their sherwood forest cafe was so good huge plates and so cheap i really miss that. They steakhouse and the prime rib restaurant was so nice inside and great food. They also once they started charging resort fee they would still give you a 25 dollar food n beverage credit so they still gave you something back which was very cool. Excalibur is a really underrated property.

Excalibur is underrated! You can get comps out the wazoo, if you're an MGMer! It's dated but not dirty! Dings, chips and dents don't hurt anybody! A couple of the content creators I follow did Dick's reviews and they received boob jokes, "Bra is filled with tissue paper and hope!" and "Boobs downloading 0%!" 🤣 Funny! Buffalo Bill's in Primm underrated too, if you're not tethered to the strip!

I stay where MGM Rewards lets me stay for free. That is my only criteria. I do prefer NyNy but I have no real problems with Excalibur

NO “Thru the Wall” Air Conditioner! PASS!

1. does it have huff n bpuff, top dollar and pinball at casino here? 2. does it smell like horse dung? 3. will the buffet let u charge to room if u use the myvegas bogo?

Because free stay? We just comeback from Vegas 4 nights free comps in Excalibur,is relax friendly we always get the room looking to the pool, is close to New York hotel Good for families to. The bar is busy with live music. It’s not fancy or luxurious for that go to Paris or Venetian

Well, Melissa… I will never like the Cartoon Castle… BUT you have successfully appealed to my Scottish thriftiness (aka cheap scrooge nature) by pointing out many of the $$$ value aspect of this budget property. Aesthetically, it is barely a step up from Clowntown but I’m certainly warming to its position as a money saver in a town that now steals every penny it can from Vegas tourists.

Is there a resort fee?

You are adorable.

New Favorite..... You Mean Continues To Be Your Favorite , 😂

OMG a room with 2 beds!!!!! Melissa is getting soft.

The Dirty Castle.

they really don't have any show for men there do they

Totally disagree. Excalibur is a dump. I don’t see any value at all there. Rather stay at Luxor or Harrahs if I’m being frugal.

Thanks but no thanks

I not a huge fan I did stay there in 2001. 😁
