With the boyfriend in Vegas for 3 weeks for work, what could be a better excuse for a little getaway? NOTHING.\n\nBecause he's rooming with another guy from his unit, we figured it would be better for us to get a little alone time and booked a hotel room at Excalibur and was pleasantly surprised. Having previously stayed there with my parents as a kid passing through vegas, a lot about this hotel has changed...and for the better, i think. Here's the breakdown:\n\n1. Located on the South side of the strip, it's slightly far from the center, but close enough to feel part of everything :)\n2.  Rooms are decent sized, have a huge bathroom and offer the usual hotel amenities. I did notice there was no mini fridge, which i thought was a bit odd, but who wants to save food in their room when you have the whole strip to walk?\n3. The atmosphere here is typical vegas [loud, fun, full of music, booze and  fun!] but I was consistently annoyed by the sales people attempting to lure you into a conversation about \"free tickets\" when in reality nothing is free...unless you \"sit in a short presentation about one of our condos\" which we kindly replied with \"NO!\" and learned to not engage upon approach.\n4. This hotel has expanded quite a lot since i've last been here. The second floor is now a food court/mall combo full of just about everything you could want, including booze.\n5. Because this isn't the nicest hotel on the strip and closer to the south, we found the prices to be relatively less expensive than the rest of them!\n\nBecause i didn't spend much time in the hotel [except to change or eat dinner once] i wouldn't mind staying here again.
