Stayed here for the first time. I've visiting Las Vegas yearly for the last 15 years and never booked a room at the Excalibur. I had some credits available to me and since the rooms were affordable at the time I was looking to travel, I decided to give it a shot. The name of the game was to get the best bang for the buck. I booked the "Royal Tower King Room". I stayed at the hotel on Superbowl Sunday.. The casino floor was pretty busy and by noon the line to place bets was growing quickly. I got checked into my room a bit early, before noon thanks to the front desk and got a nice daytime nap. My room was pretty nice, very comfortable, but despite the no smoking signs on the door, the room still had a smoke odor. I had a good view looking out towards the airport and the Tropicana. Surprisingly being on an upper floor, I was still able to hear traffic from the Strip. The bathroom was decent, and overall the stay was good. I had a chance to try some of the restaurants in the food court as well as the buffet since my room came with some complimentary buffets. The buffet was decent, but not overly impressive compared to the many other ones offered in Vegas. The casino offered a decent selection of slot machines, but was lacking some of the newer machines. I found the location to be a bit far south as far as convenience for walking to other places was concerned, but took advantage of the indoor passageways to the Luxor, Mandalay and the outside walkway to the NY NY. I would consider staying here again when the price is right.
