Good to know: Don't expect the rooms at Excalibur to have medieval décor. You'll then walk across the road (Luxor Drive) and enter through the rear entrance.
This will take you behind the resort to its three-story self-parking garage. If you've got a car, you should access Excalibur from Frank Sinatra Drive and not directly from the Strip. This is great on summer days when - trust us - you don't want to walk out in the sweltering heat. Insider tips: Excalibur is connected to Luxor (which in turn is connected to Mandalay Bay) by an enclosed passage. Although this gigantic white castle with spires of bright red, blue and gold doesn't quite hearken back to the Middle Ages, you'll love tweeting out from the drawbridge or the Fun Dungeon (just rein in your '50 Shades of Grey' fantasies because this is an arcade and carnival-style midway for families).
And even with the resort fee, you'll still save a bundle. The vibe: Fun-for-all-ages atmosphere, no frills accommodations, faux castle theme What we love: There's an obvious reason why people choose to stay at Exalibur: it's cheap. Named after King Arthur's legendary sword, Excalibur is a hotel at the south end of the Strip that mixes medieval style with modern conveniences.
