As Hunter. S Thompson said, "The Circus Circus is what the whole hep world would be doing on a Saturday night if the Nazi's had won the war"
A must Visit for any Fear and Loathing fan.. The best part of it all (besides the buttload of video and carnavial games) Is the Carasauel Bar up stairs..I recommend you go there (after midnight to avoid the herds and herds of little people, and no I dont mean midgets) with a friend and drink till the point of complete intoxication then one of you kick the other off of the spinning bar.. And If your REALLY ballsy asks the cocktail waitress "How much do they pay you to fuck that polar bear?".
DO it no just for yourself but for the late great Hunter S. Thompson...
My only dissapointment is that the casino workers ARE NOT dressed like carnies :(

Um... the CIRCUS!

I visited this property and was not impressed at all i thought the layout and direction was horrible. we were there just to meet up with a family friend who resides in vegas and we stopped off and ate at mcd's and the service sucked as did the food i wouldn't reccomend this place to any one. the casino was very cluttered and dark and smelled like an old ashtray was sitting in front of your face the whole time and the staff was not very freindly in giving direction to different parts of the property and had no sense of direction.. the only thing that i liked was the canyon blaster coaster at the adventure dome

Be afraid of the clown. He's one of those creepy clowns.

Where do I begin. I went here to get a drink at the carousel bar. My friend and I got a Dewar's on the rocks and I guess we should have asked to hold the flies. Yep, there were flies inside the bottle. The carousel bar is on the midway level so it was fun to watch the kids wait for their mothers seats to circle around so they could get more money.

I stayed here on my very first night ever in vegas the room was not bad for the price. we had one of the new tower rooms with the 42 inch plasma tv, but the view sucked big time we were in the back near the pool but below the roof line so we had a brick wall view out of our window. i didn't get to visit the pool at this property but heard it was great from my step son's word of mouth. one thing you must do while here is do the dinner and show at the TOURNAMENT OF KINGS it was a great show had alot of audience participation and interactment and the food was well....... fit for a king if you like alot of chicken and tomato soup which i do it was very well prepared and tasty and the beer in the souvenier mug($10.00) was excellent and cold.

good resort

Excalibur gets a nod because of the large 2 person jacuzzi, price and location. Our spa suites area always very clean and service is always good. Could do without the kids, but that goes for every casino.

From the outside this place is super lame but ya know?.. On the inside it's not too bad and it's darned fun (just stay off the 2nd floor where the kiddies are.) The rooms are smal and plain but hey, you can get em for a song.

It's so ..midevial. Cute at night from outside; too long a walk from parking garage; decent slots;decent valet parking; piss-poor blackjack games

I'm giving the Old Excal a 4, and this is why.....It did everything it needed to do for us, and a great price. Fri, Sat and Sun in February for about $70 per night. I had the newer Widescreen room, and even though it was nothing amazing, it was clean and was big enough for 3 guys to crash in. The location is great and it has a fun vibe to it. Not the same kind of vibe as Mandalay Bay, but you can tell they are trying to have some fun with it. We did not eat any meals there at all, or used the pool, spa or any amenities at all, so I can not rate them. But for a cheap weekend with a clean room and nice price it was great.

Stayed in a widescreen room. The room was better than you would expect for the Tragic Kingdom. Really good drink service in the casino. I really like the location and would definitely stay there again.

Rooms are barebones Vegas style..headboards screwed to the wall, how tacky is that?Oh yeah, how 'bout the moving walkway in with the non-moving one out...tackier still.It was okay when we were poor and our child was young.

The room was nothing special, a regular room looking at the airport. The gaming and the bars were great though. I won all over the casino. And the Valets were really helpful and cheerful about it. I didn't eat there, or swim there. Spend up for the newer rooms.

No baths, just a shower in the rooms. We were in a Widescreen room, and we found it perfectly fine. Short trip to the pool area, which was far nicer than I expected.

I showered and kept my luggage in one of their widescreen rooms on a trip 2 years ago. Walked through on my trip in July of 2009. I was intrigued by the dichotomy of The Pleasure Pit and the family oriented Midway under the same roof. Why Vegas tries to be family friendly is beyond me.

Made me feel like I got jousted in the ass.
