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

"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

Rough Guide "The location is great... but the actual accommodation varies enormously."
Frommer's "Renovations and expansions over the years aren't going to make Siegel's "real class joint" cause you to forget about, say, the rooms at The Palazzo, but they have freshened the joint up." Full review
Fodor's "This elaborately landscaped, pink, classic-era resort with a 15-acre pool complex is still one of the best in town choices in town." Full review

Be sure to check out the on-site wildlife area, complete with a koi pond and, naturally, a flamboyance of flamingoes.
Travel + Leisure "Flamingo Las Vegas, which was originally owned by Bugsy Siegel in 1946, has exuberantly remade itself and become the hippest hotel on the Strip." Full review
Time Out "The Flamingo is the Strip's sleeping giant. Its location at the heart of the action couldn't be better; and thanks to its beginnings under Bugsy Siegel, its name is virtually legendary." Full review
Star Service "This is in an undeniably excellent location, and...it is at least one of the best bargains on The Strip." Full review
Gayot "The 3,642 rooms and suites are nicely appointed and a great value in these price ranges."
BlackBook "There's pretty much nothing left of the original casino that Bugsy Siegel built at the birth of Vegas, the one where Elvis won his race car at the beginning of Viva Las Vegas."
Lonely Planet "Legendary Miami-style casino hotel; middle Strip, next to the new Linq complex; white mod furnishings; waterslides and lagoons make it extra family-friendly." Full review
The Telegraph9.0
"Smack bang mid-Strip, this vintage casino hotel mixes a sprinkling of glitz with legendary mobster history." Full review
