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 "The rates are not bad for such well-equipped rooms."
Frommer's "As long as prices hold true (as always, they can vary), this hotel is one of the best bargains in town, despite the location." Full review
DK Eyewitness "French Quarter-themed hotel, with green-shuttered windows and wrought-iron balconies."
Time Out "The theme at the Orleans is more Disneyland than French Quarter. Still, the locals don't seem to mind, mostly because the Vegas-style action is very real." Full review
Star Service "Wedged between Home Depot and Adult Emporium, this locale is far from ideal, but inside the hotel the mood is lively, riffing on Mardi Gras 24/7." Full review
Gayot "When this resort opened in December 1996, it had 810 rooms and 30 suites in a 21-story tower."
BlackBook "The Orleans' Big Easy theme is largely outside, with the enormous, boxy casino painted up as pastel row houses with wrought-iron balconies."
Zagat3.7
"An "excellent" West of Strip option that has "just about anything you want to do"."
Lonely Planet "Tastefully appointed French-provincial rooms are good-value 'petite suites,' with fitness center access, on-site childcare, a movie theater and a bowling alley." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A bargain by Las Vegas casino standards. This Mardi Gras-themed hotel is a short shuttle ride west of the Strip. Families will find plenty to amuse kids here." Full review
