Rough Guide "It’s overshadowed and outclassed by its sister property Paris next door... Its central location is a real plus."
OysterMid-Range
"There's nothing exciting or glamorous about Bally's 2,814 outdated rooms, subpar restaurants, or pool with a view of the parking lot." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This hotel has a relaxed atmosphere, an olympic-size swimming pool, and large, luxurious rooms, many with good views of the Strip."
Time Out "A classic, Dan Tanna-esque Vega$ experience can still be had at the grande dame of the Strip's Famous Four Corners." Full review
Star Service "Despite new dining and shopping opportunities and spruced up accommodations, prices remain low for a central address on The Strip." Full review
Gayot "With more than 2,800 rooms and suites, this is among the world's largest resorts."
BlackBook "The "vintage Vegas" theme isn't carried out as well as it could be, although the entrance through a neon-lined tunnel with piped-in Dean Martin hits still a nice touch."
Frommer's "It's a stop on the monorail system, so you'll be able to go just about everywhere by foot or by swift train, and, thanks to those nice rooms, you've got someplace pleasant to return to." Full review
Fodor's "Rooms at this old-school property were renovated in 2013, which makes the reasonably priced Bally's Resort, in the heart of the Strip, an underrated choice for a Vegas vacation." Full review
Lonely Planet "Attracting an older crowd, this mid-Strip classic casino's reimagined Jubilee Tower rooms are popping with red." Full review

Rough Guide "The whole place is often uncomfortably crowded; expect long lines at the restaurants."
Frommer's "One of the largest resort hotels in the world, Excalibur (also known as the Realm) is a gleaming white, turreted castle complete with moat, drawbridge, battlements, and lofty towers." Full review
Fodor's "The giant Lego-like castle is popular with families... but recent makeovers in all of the property's rooms make much of the property look more grown-up." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"In the running for the cheesiest resort on the Strip, the medieval-themed, castle-shaped Excalibur aims for all age groups." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Topped with colorful turrets rising high above the Strip, this castle-themed resort was the world’s largest hotel when it first opened in 1990." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the first theme hotels (built in 1990), this is still a favorite with children."
Time Out "The jury's still out on whether or not this caricature of a castle will become the next generation's Circus Circus." Full review
Star Service "This ode to the make-believe medieval world of swords and sorcerers boasts low, low rates, a central location and a long list of B-grade entertainment that helps fill its nearly 4,000 rooms." Full review
Gayot "Debuting in June 1990, this colorful castle spawned a number of nineties-era theme resorts. It is still a fun-filled place whose medieval architecture and decor are popular with family travelers."
Lonely Planet "A mock castle playing on its Arthurian theme, with throngs of stroller-pushing parents." Full review
