My wife and I stayed for 15 nights recently on our first visit to Vegas from the UK. We were amazed after reading some bad reviews at how fantastic the hotel was! The room was very clean and spacious and the bed was enormous. It was ideally placed both near the airport ($10 in a taxi) and also in walking distance of the strip. While the $200 free slot play is limited to the promotional machines (only a jackpot win pays) we took advantage of the free show and saw the 'Mentalist' Gerry McCambridge. What a fantastic show and completely free, no catches. The pool area was extremely clean and very relaxing, my wife especially enjoyed the hot tubs. The staff were very friendly and we ate in the Hooters restaurant a number of times, on each visit the food and service were excellent. On our last night we paid for a picture with the Hooters girls from the restaurant photographer and she very generously gave us two pictures for the price of one!
A tip for others, the Excalibour Hotel offers time share tours with some excellant prizes just for going. We spent 3 hours (yes I know, but as we were there for 15 days it didn't matter really) listening to a woman talk with no intention of buying. At the end we got free Lance Burton tickets (tax had to be paid on them) and 5 x $25 vouchers for food/gambling at the Mandalay Bay, The Luxor, The Excalibour, The MGM Grand or The Mirage. If you can afford to lose a morning and know how to just say "no thank you" then I would highly recommend it (we had three excellent meals and made a profit on our gambling).
