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

Frommer's "A window has opened up for another hotel to slip in and battle for the crown of "Most Luxurious" in Vegas. The Mandarin Oriental seems more than up for the fight." Full review
Concierge "Executive Club rooms have vast views of the Strip and the meteorlike new Crystals shopping complex."
Fodor's "As a brand, Mandarin Oriental pledges to provide everything for the business traveler, and the Vegas property certainly delivers on that promise." Full review
Jetsetter "Serene CityCenter stay that adds a dose of sophistication to the Strip, with two pools, a spa and haute French fare." Full review
Star Service "Mandarin Oriental puts the new City Center development in a good light." Full review
i
Or perhaps more accurately, it can be described as American with a French twist, as guests choose their sauces to go with the beef from Nebraska and Idaho, or lobster from Maine.
Michelin Guide "This newly opened (2009) CityCenter oasis features gourmet dining, spa services, spacious guest rooms and a fitness center offering Pilates and yoga classes."
Gayot "Located in the new CityCenter development, this LEED Gold-certified property resides in a 47-story non-gaming building in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip."
Zagat4.3
""Marvel at the madness that is Vegas without getting involved in it" at this "unreal" yet "serene" casino-free hotel on the Strip boasting "true luxury" and a staff that "treats you like royalty"."
Travel + Leisure "At the 392-room property, interior designer Adam Tihany tries to re-create the experience of contemporary Hong Kong." Full review
Afar Magazine "One of the rare, non-casino luxury hotels that provide an almost residence-like respite within steps of all that makes Las Vegas Las Vegas." Full review
