Just back today-Stayed at Excalibur

I just got back today after a four night stay at the Excalibur-Tried the $20.00 tip at check in around 11:AM and it did not work for an upgrade.They wanted $20.00 more each night for Tower Two .Our room in tower One was very bad. .No fan in bathroom and a musty odor in the room.The room looked very worn. Our view was a brick wall.I went to registration in the morning and complained and a very nice woman immediately gave us an upgrade to Tower 2 at no cost.Very nice room!


Went to Riveria and received free show tickets to a show-Barbara Streisand & Frank Sinatra for just signing up for a players card.The tickets were normally $59.95 each.The show was good.

We bought the three day duece pass for $15.00.Great deal

any questions-just ask

 

Question about the duece, was it slow? Would it be faster to walk or take the CAT bus? Heard a lot of bad stuff about the duece (slow), not sure what to do for our trip?

 

going downtown from the strip, the deuce isn't that bad/slow. it's coming back from downtown that sucks. the bus is less frequent and there are always a ton of people. my wife and i walked back to slots a fun from downtown and arrived seconds before the first bus did!

 

I think deuce stands for mph.

 

Ok what kind of room did you get? We were booked for The STRAT but changed to be in the exca due to location...anyway we are booked for a widescreen room, which tower are they in? Both?

 

if you are in a widescreen room, you're going to be just fine. those are the remodeled rooms and you will be happy!

good move on changing from the strat to the excal widescreen!

 

Yes, the widescreen rooms are just fine. The only (small) problem I had when I stayed in one a couple of months ago is that I could hear street noise, and I was about halfway up on the tower. It was not real bad but a little surprising.

 

Now that was funny!

 

I don't think they have bathroom fans anywhere in Vegas. Anyone know for sure? Nice that you were able to get a better room. Thanks for posting.

 

I agree; that is funny....in an oh so true way!

 

Hey Ref; looks like you'll be at the Rio some of the days we are there!

 

Excalibur Tower 11 Rooms

The Tower 11 rooms do have a bathroom fan and exhaust.The room is very nice.


Some other comments about my stay:

Due to construction and heavy traffic to the hotel-the fare was $21.00
Going to the airport was half at $10.50


You can eat very cheaply at McDonalds in the hotel as they have a dollar menu.

We used the two for one coupons that you can print online for Nathans hotdogs at NYNY.Two of us ate for $7.00for lunch.What a bargain!!

There is only one tram working between Luxor & Mandalay Bay.

Only half of the escalulators in Vegas are working .We were told it was a cost measure.

We bought a three day duece bus pass for $15.00.It is $7.00 for one day.

The Duece travel time is very very slow.Allow at least one hour and half to get from Excalibur to Freemont Street

The slots were the tightest I ever saw.Everyone was complaining about it.

 

thanks for the info

 

Sorry to read 'bout the room. Hope everything else was good.

later, GVJ

 

Anybody know the average cost for drinks (i.e beers) at the excalibur pool as we are going there early may?
