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

Rough Guide
"Ever since the late 1980s, Steve Wynn has defined Las Vegas’s highest standard of luxury."
Frommer's
