Why You Should Stay at the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas

By , About.com Guide

The Excalibur is around 18 years old and the truth is that those kids who first walked through the doors and played arcade games are now returning. On any given weekend you will find the party atmosphere in full swing and the decibel level way up. This is not the same Excalibur that you remember as a kid.

Start planning your trip to Las Vegas by researching prices with Kayak.com and Southwest Airlines Vacations. Save some money on a Las Vegas vacation.

1. What The Excalibur Hotel is Like These Days

Las Vegas does not have to be about the expensive meals and outrageous drink prices, it could be about just plain fun. The Excalibur has that simple fun vibe going on and if you look around the casino you see it everywhere. Leave the pretentious people behind and go to where everyone is just doing Vegas the way it should be done. The new rooms look great and the price is right at the Excalibur Hotel.

3. See a Show at The Excalibur Hotel

I have nothing against guys who shave their chest and are quite fond of personal hygiene. I just would rather not watch them giggle anywhere near me. My wife on the other hand seems to be a fan and on more than one occasion has offered to lend her insight on why The Thunder from Down Under is worth watching. Let me think, could it be because muscle bound, good looking guys are dancing practically naked? Oh, how novel. Ladies, you'll love the show and you will be entertained in a classy and very fun way. Guys, do not be the bigger person and offer to go to the show with your women. Listen to me when I say this, do not do it!

4. Where to Eat at the Excalibur Hotel

Yo have plenty of cheap eating options at the Excalibur Hotel and that is important if you are trying to ration your entertainment dollar. Try to stay away from the buffet but take advantage of the food court. You could also have a decadent time at Dick's Last Resort.
