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

Concierge "In Vegas, folks looking for a bargain often try out less expensive "nongaming" properties but find themselves either far from the Strip or bored silly. Cue the nongambling Platinum Hotel."
Fodor's "This swank, nongaming, condo-hotel has become a fashionable hideaway for Vegas regulars who prefer top-notch amenities but don't need to stay on the Strip." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"A classy condo-hotel tucked behind the big casinos, this 255-suite property is one of the best off-the-Strip values to be found." Full review
Time Out "The second condo-hotel to open in Las Vegas (the first was the Residences at the MGM Grand), this highly impressive property sits within a five-minute walk of the Strip." Full review
Gayot "This non-gaming, non-smoking hotel is a nice respite with its one- and two-bedroom suites, which range from 900 to 1,100 square feet."
BlackBook "A desert-toned, high-rise exterior with office-park aesthetics rocking all-suite accommodations in a gaming-free zone just a few minutes’ walk from the Strip."
Zagat4.8
"Sophisticated and hip, this all-suite boutique property is just over a mile from the Strip and has no casino, but the smoke-free haven lures trendy business and leisure travelers."
Gayot13.0
"Eclectic, modern restaurant tucked into the InterContinental Milwaukee." Full review
Lonely Planet "Just off the Strip, the coolly modern rooms at this spiffy, non-gaming property are comfortable and full of nice touches." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
