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

Rough Guide "Behind its ageing mock-pagoda facade, the Imperial Palace is, for travellers happy to forgo Las Vegas luxury, one of the best-value options in the heart of the Strip."
Star Service "Previously the Imperial Palace, this hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip has been renamed the Quad Resort & Casino and is undergoing extensive renovations through the end of 2014.

Frommer's "The rebirth of the worn Imperial Palace into this, the trying-to-be-hip-and-modern the Quad, has primarily involved redoing the casino, the facade, and some of the other public spaces." Full review
Gayot "With contemporary furnishings and high-tech amenities, “modern” is the buzzword at the Linq Hotel & Casino, which is part of the Caesars hospitality family."

"Right in the center of the Las Vegas Strip, The LINQ Hotel & Casino is a 2,640-room, budget-friendly option popular with travelers who just want a cheap place to stay." Full review
Star Service "Having spent the GNP of a small African nation on renovations, the hotel definitely has a fashionable new look, and the location and varied entertainment create a unique vibe." Full review
Jetsetter "Buzzy, youthful spot on The Strip with good value rooms and a party atmosphere." Full review

"Launching onto the Las Vegas Strip in late 2014, LINQ, formerly the Quad, has cemented its position as a solid all-rounder." Full review

"You won’t find a better bargain on a mid-Strip hotel room than at The LINQ, located next to the High Roller wheel and near a half dozen other Vegas casinos." Full review
Time Out "Best of all, the Linq Promenade, packed with restaurants, bars and shops, is just a few steps away." Full review
