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

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

Jetsetter
"Roman mega-resort with six pools, two casinos and Michelin-starred restaurants in the heart of the Strip." Full review

Upscale
"A massive spa with Roman baths; elaborate mosaics and classical architecture around the pools; one of the biggest casinos in Vegas." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Caesars Palace opened in 1966 and was long the Strip’s most opulent and, some would say, most ostentatious hotel."
Time Out
"While the Bellagio is perhaps the epitome of new Vegas luxury, Caesars remains an icon of classic Sin City decadence." Full review
Star Service
"This longstanding tribute to the gods and great nobility of ancient Rome is a first-rate deluxe hotel with a less fluff than in the past. Still, there is something for everyone." Full review

Guests staying in the Augustus should request a room overlooking Bellagio's fountain.
Gayot
"With its towering row of fountains leading to its entrance, this hotel revolutionized the Strip when it opened in 1966."
BlackBook
"1966 classic casino stretches imperial length for a block in all directions with acres of gaming, miles of shops, dozens of restaurants and thousands of rooms."
