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
Oyster
Mid-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

Frommer's
"Many hotels in Vegas throw the "resort" word around a lot but few of them feel as true to the spirit of the word as the JW Marriott." Full review
Concierge
"When locals want to get away from their hectic life in the city, they go to the JW Marriott."
Fodor's

Oyster
Upscale
"With its excellent spa, waterfall pool, and servicable restaurants, the JW Marriott is a tried-and-true, if unexciting, off-the-Strip resort." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The grounds of this hotel are a beautiful oasis of gardens, pools, and trees. There are also great restaurants including Gustave Mauler’s Spiedini Ristorante."
Time Out
"The resort sits on some 54 acres in the heart of Summerlin, and boasts spectacular views of the Red Rock Conservation Area and access to eight of the area's most sought-after golf courses." Full review
Star Service
"Once the Regent Hotel, a 20-minute drive northwest of The Strip, this top-notch Marriott offshoot has a resort edge that families love." Full review
Gayot
"With its independently owned and operated 50,000-square-foot Rampart Casino, this 54-acre Scottsdale-style resort caters as much to well-heeled locals as out-of-towners."
BlackBook
"This full-service golf and spa resort offers a Mediterranean-style oasis less than 20 minutes from the Strip."
Zagat

"It "doesn't feel like you're in Las Vegas" at this "luxurious" 54-acre escape "far away from the Strip"."
