text: I stayed at the Excalibur the last time I was in Vegas because I was meeting friends and this is where they chose to stay. Ugh. I do not know what is wrong with them. This hotel/casino is not cool. It was very expensive (160$ a night... what?) and the first room we went into smelled like someone poured water all over the floor and let mold grow for a few weeks. After over an hour, they gave us another room which was fine, but still overpriced. The casino is in a bad location, so far from the central strip. Who wants to go to New york New york? cuz that's about the only place that is close to this hotel, oh and the MGM. All of the food in this casino is bad. Overall, I was not happy that we had to stay at this hotel. Never again.
