Super selfish question but I'm going to Vegas for the first time and I'm really interested in Ceasars (I grew up during the hangover hype) but can you guys do an updated Ceasars review. I really trust this channels opinion.
I’m recovering from surgery and have been binge watching your Vegas videos. I love y’all’s energy!
I brought my family to Circus Circus and both of my kids had a ball. They love the waterslides at the pool and they love the adventuresome. My kids did not care about having a posh experience we went to our rooms to sleep. And we Uber to everywhere
Sounds like a fun vacation. Hopefully, I’ll visit Las Vegas next year with my sister (most likely, we’ll stay at the Venetian), but when it comes to fun, I’ll be going to Circus Circus to play in the arcade and game area, plus I’ll see a few circus acts while I’m there. And I’ll eat at that steakhouse too!
Instead of a sweet 16 party I asked my daughter if she wants to do a mommy daughter trip anywhere she wants. She picked Vegas and a road trip up the Pacific Highway. So, we’ll be in Vegas in two weeks and I’ve been binge watching your videos. You guys are great!
That’s awesome, you are going to have a great time!!
@@TurnItUpWorld you
your daughter has good taste lol
We need an update, how was it?
16 is too young to fully experience Vegas. It’s like Disney for adults, but kids can’t do most of the most entertaining things
I've stayed at the Excalibur multiple times and will go back. Room is basic but the casino is actually a lot of fun. Cheap food options on the second floor. Plus it might be the best tram hub on the strip. One monorail goes from Excalibur to Mandalay Bay (I almost never go in that direction), walk across to MGM grand to take monorail on all the way to Sahara (and Cookies dispensary), and a short walk to Park MGM (cutting through air conditioned NYNY) where you can take the tram to the Bellagio. Plus NYNY being next door with great late night eats rules.
I've stayed at Circus-Circus a few times and never had a problem. The staff was always super nice. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. The guests do remind me of the center of Brooklyn (Not that I have ever been there), but I only ever had had one time where there were kids screaming in the hall in the middle of the night. I cannot say about the other hotels because I have never stayed in the others.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
I loved Circus Circus, I’ve stayed there twice. No problems. Rooms were nice. Don’t let one persons experience discourage you. Price is great, people are nice. Casino was also nice
As a non-smoker, there’s nothing worse than rooms that reek of tobacco smoke! Seems it’s best to stay in a non-smoking hotel when possible.
Thanks for sharing! ❤
There is something sooo special about the hole called Excalibur. I am not sure why but I just love it when I don't have comps at venitian/palazzo
I always do well on the machines there
Excalibur has its ups and downs and our stay the second time was a bit better the. The first. Seems the regular room was better the. The stay well rooms they put us in. Thanks for watching !
I usually stay at Flamingo, but I go to Ellis Island for the breakfast deals. I never considered staying here, but I did check rates for a mid-week stay. Free parking makes this a good contender for those on a budget, and being walking distance from the Strip is a plus. The room shown in this video looks just fine.
Never stayed at Ellis Island but I always go over there for the BBQ.
The Motel 6 on Tropicana is actually decent and clean. It’s also convenient to the Strip and next door to a Denny’s in case you’re wanting a Slam Meal.
Thanks!
I never understand why no-one mentions The Tuscany Suites. A block and a half from the strip and the rooms are twice the size of anything on the strip. Have stayed there several times now and absolutely love it. They provide a microwave on request. Free parking and absolutely silent room. If you want value for money and a room big enough for all your shopping this is the place. Ellis Island just round the corner.
The tuscany is great so maybe one day someone will do a review...and yes it is quiet 🤫 and very clean and the staff are friendly
So it's off the strip?.?.?. 😂
Love the food and service at Marilyn's restaurant. Have stayed at Tuscany many times!
@@brandonraj7020 what's your point?
Tuscanny is really nice and they have the Rat Pack is Back show which is a good show. The rooms are great too.
I really enjoyed watching how laidback you are towards each other. The video was pleasant and informative. Thank you
I live here in Vegas! I get so much knowledge from you guys. You make it fun and knowledgeable! You guys are so cute together! I love your videos. They make me so happy! Thank you ❤
I don't think most people realize that circus circus was MGM cash cow for many years. They didn't put much money back in the property. But in 2019 right before the pandemic Phil Ruffin bought the hotel. Unlike MGM, he has been pouring millions of dollars into the property. As a local myself I find the pay back percentages are far better than other strip properties. So I would say if you need a fancy room book at the Wynn or Bellagio. But if your a gambler and don't spend much time in your room Circus is fine. Just remember if you check in and your room is dirty, just call housekeeping and they will reclean your room. 😉
Love the Wynn!
sounds perfect. :) I go to gamble and see shows.
I've been working in hotels for a decade, that pink/red stain in Excalibur is definitely a stain from Ecolab's commercial bathroom disinfectant. The staff can't get the stain out because it's basically been bleached. If it were blood, the stain would be brown, not brightly colored.
Thanks so much for letting us know! We appreciate it.
I would recommend that spot dye it. Not that hard.
I wonder Hydrogen peroxide would take it out ?
Thank you for your video! The last time my husband and I stayed at the Rio it was not great! The room was dark and had a sewage odor coming from the bathroom. Yes, that see through window was a bit of a shock!! Why ??? Hopefully they will improve the quality of the rooms when they renovate!
My first trip to Vegas, I believe early to mid 90’s, I stayed at RIO. That was a start of many years of frequent Vegas vacations. RIO was my go to resort. I even brought guests with me to stay there. I eventually graduated to strip resorts, and Bellagio and Venetian became my favorites. The last four or five years I have mostly stayed at WYNN and Encore resorts. I cannot believe how desolate RIO appears. I recall the Mardi Gras atmosphere with frequent lines of staff entertaining folks smack in the middle of the casino gambling area. There were long lines to get in the Voodoo lounge. I watched 4th of July fireworks from the rooftop area that you toured. Now, looks like an abandoned building. It will take a huge renovation to get it competitive with the newer casino resorts in Vegas. ‘Til then, I will stay far away.
Yes I remember the good days of the. Rio, it has really gone hill
And that seafood buffet was incredible. I ate so much king crab there…sad it has gone downhill.
Rio was bomb, especially when it hosted World Series of Poker.
They had a good adult pool. Hope it can come back to life. 🎉
This is my first time watching this channel, and ya'll are adorable. I love the chemistry. Great information!
Always glad you are keeping it real in the big Vegas stay.👊🏾👍🏾👊🏾👍🏾👊🏾👍🏾👊🏾👍🏾
I almost always stay at either Luxor or Excalibur. Part of the MGM players club, they almost always have comp rooms, and if no comp rooms the rates are ridiculously cheap. I'm the type of person that really just needs a place to sleep, as I rarely go to the room during the day. But it is really sad to see the state that the Rio is in. Growing up, that was the hotel we would always stay at, but the glory days are over.
I can’t believe Circus Circus is still there. We stayed there 32 years ago when we got married, lol.
This was another informative video of restaurants and hotels of Las Vegas! Like seeing what you had for dinner!
Just run into your channel👍You guys amazing! Thank you for updating us on what/where to go in Vegas!
My top 3 budget friendly linq, harrahs and Luxor. I have stayed in all 3 since 2020
Circus circus was ok wit me. I enjoyed my stay and didn't have any problems. Staff was very nice and helpful. We stayed a week.
My husband and I are going to Vegas for our Anniversary in late February. I just found your videos. I love your research!
Thanks so much Maria, we are glad you and your husband are enjoying our videos!! Happy early Anniversary!
Love you both. Thanks for this topic today. 😆😆 I stayed in Excalibur fairly recently. Room was basic but no matter where I stay I end up at the slots in Excalibur.
Thanx for another great video. Great chemistry between you two. Personally I
like Excalibur for location and $$$. Ellis rocks I always try to eat there at least
once when I'm in town
You guys are just great! Thanks for what you are doing .
Love y'alls energy! No matter how many times I see the 'bed test'...it's so cute and funny. New Subscriber!! I've only been to Vegas once and we stayed at the Excalaibur. It was fine!
Thanks Joan and welcome aboard!
Absolutely love the energy of you two!
Very informative….We were in Vegas earlier this month of August , but we stayed on the far west side of Vegas away from the strip. Always glad to see what y’all have to say about these hotels though! Thumbs up!! 👍🏾
Thanks so much! We appreciate it. May we ask where you stayed in far west side Vegas and did you enjoy it?
The running start from the bathroom is great. I don’t think I would stay at any of these places though. Thanks for taking one for the team
You two are so cool !!!! together awesome job videos thank you guys
Thanks for this review you guys!!! Love how you all vibe off one another -married life is great when you have an amazing relationship ❤❤❤❤
I personally love the Golden Nugget on Fremont street. It's not the best hotel in Vegas but it is nowhere near the worst. And it's right in the heart of Fremont street where the party never stops.
Hi Tana & Dave, it's nice to see another video by you two.
Always love seeing your stuff. While your travel vlogs are exciting too, your Vegas content is fun!!
Thanks so much, we are glad you are enjoying our videos! Would you stay at any of these 4 Las Vegas hotels?
@@TurnItUpWorld Personally I would not go to any of them. I'd rather stay at Caesars Palace Suites. That said, I'm glad you're going there and reviewing them for us to see!
Thanks, we don’t blame you!
Love you guys thank you for all you do
Circus Circus was not bad 20 years ago. It could be saved if major renovations were done... The neighborhood is a big red flag also, but if things around are improving then maybe the Circus Circus people will invest and renovate.
I did ride that roller coaster at Circus Circus, and they started it before I was even locked in all the way. I was going up over that first drop when the bar finally clicked into place once. I will never go on that again.
Wow, that’s crazy. Thanks for sharing.
I was just looking up hotels to stay in Las Vegas and this came up. Thank you for this video. 😁
Thanks Grafik, we hope you found the video useful! We also have many additional videos sharing our experiences at Las Vegas hotels that you may find helpful as well!
Great video. I will be in Vegas March 2nd at the Excalibur and I really enjoy it there. Nascar will keep me busy but will be exploring all over. Got some great tips from your videos.
Stayed at Excalibur many times and booked many people there to stay during their visit. It gets the job done. The casino is fun. The rooms have popcorn ceiling. Older tvs but I always feel comfortable there and the service is actually pretty good. I don’t think mgm has a property that should be on this list. In my opinion
You two are geniuses! What a gig! I so hope it all proves lucrative for you! Wonderful idea! I LOVE Vegas! Thank you!
Nice production quality...it must take a lot of work..great job!
I just found your channel. I enjoyed your experience. You are a great couple. Loved the bed test. I did subscribe.
The linq is my fav budget hotel(it is getting more spendy) perfect location, casino is small and easy to walk through, easy food options, by far the best ‘landing pad’ hotel. love the plaza downtown, great music club, great gym, convenient for Fremont st. I’ll be staying at the strat and rio on my next trip, pretty excited to visit those
Looking forward to a stay at Ellis Island. I love their restaurants, and their craft beer is so good!
I stayed at Rio back in 2005 and it was so nice back then! Sad to see they haven’t tried to keep it up, hopefully new owners will give it a facelift.
I stayed at the Excalibur 5 times already and I would come back anytime! I always had a clean room and just love it!!
We're headed to Vegas in mid-December for the 6th time since 2010 to celebrate our anniversary and a pre-retirement celebration. Our first trip in 2010 was at the Flamingo, and I gave them a scathing review due to room and food offerings. Since then, we've stayed at a hotel off the strip that has a kitchenette, and will be staying there again. We've played at Circus Circus, agree that the hotel is in need of a do over, and we came across a sketchy area on the out skirts of the hotel in the later hours. We always have a pricey anniversary dinner, and a nicer buffet at least one time, and will do so on this trip. Prices have gone up so much since COVID, and Vegas is just not the same. Dinner options are Top of the World at the Strat, Smith and Wollensky at the Venetian, places we've visited more than once. Will do the High Roller at the Linc again for our "fun thing" to do, and of course, play those slots! We will again have our anniversary cake from Freed's Bakery, and they deliver to the hotel! I order 2 weeks ahead, and since we live in California and drive down, we can take it home! Nice thing about driving is that you can bring your own pillows.
This will be our last trip for a while as we don't need the bells and whistles..seen the shows, been to Fremont Street, done the tours, don't utilize the pools, so this trip is to view the Christmas decorations. Thanks for the fun video!!
Hey can I ask what the weather was like? I’m heading next year hopefully for my bday!
We went to the Rio when it was open loved it and the roof view at night is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Sad to see it be let go!! Needs renovation badly !!
Truly enjoyed your reviews! Your videos are informative, entertaining and humorous...thanks!
Thanks so much Bertadel! Have you stayed at any of these Las Vegas hotels?
@@TurnItUpWorld Stayed in most mid to high-end hotels on the strip ; "not our first rodeo" in Las Vegas. Yet, and being from 🇨🇦, our last trip to the area was pre-pandemic explaining our current enjoyment of your recent tourist-related video's...we're heading back soon.
Great chanel guys!! Thumbs up!!!
Currently on honeymoon in Las Vegas….we were due to stay at Paris for one week but the Trip Advisor reviews were so awful we managed to change hotels 3 days before we were due to fly out. Thanks to your video we stayed at Park MGM and have a man awesome time. Great hotel!! Thank you Turn It Up World 👏🏻
enjoy your new life with good health and peace of mind!
Paris is great! It’s my favorite lower cost hotel. Congratulations on your marriage! ❤
Park MGM used to be the Monte Carlo I believe, and I also think it's the first smoke free casino on the strip. I would stay there just for that alone.
Same thing happened to us. We were considering Paris but there were soooo many negative reviews about the customer service. The suite (Giverny) looks wonderful but we decided on Palazzo instead. Can’t wait till November!
@@lillianliber1798 I've stayed at Paris multiple times omg I love it ! The rooms are awesome valet is fast and it's right perfect smack in a good spot on the strip everyone is very welcoming only 1person was grumpy but I get it this person works graveyard in a lil 24hour coffee shop type spot and people dont have patience but all in all it's a great place to stay klove love love there rooms !
Came across your video while researching for a trip to Vegas. You guys are ridiculously adorable. Love your video
Thank you Nikki! When is your next trip to Las Vegas?
thank you for sharing this and letting us know the truth, wow those places look awful! Especially the Rio, yuck.
Thanks for the review. Older budget hotels also need reviews and they have a place in Vegas.
I have stayed at Rio and it’s just too far off the strip and Excalibur is just tired and old.
I would suggest the Luxor for a nicer property that is budget priced. Harrahs also has great rates and they are at center strip.
I love you guys. Great video thank you❤️ I think I would stay at Ellis Island and Excalibur 😊
I used to love the Rio and I truly hope they renovate it back to its original glory. They used to have an awesome restaurant that served the best cioppino I've ever had. We stayed there for our honeymoon in 1995.
Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Love yall so much 💗
Love the bed test! Thanks for all these reviews in one vid, you two. Well done
Glad you like the bed test Tom and our compilation review video of the Las Vegas hotels! Are you planning a trip to Las Vegas in 2023?
@@TurnItUpWorld Haha not for a while, just living vicariously through you guys for now :)
Heck yeah to that coaster! We are coming in November and one of my goals is to ride the Big Apple coaster at NYNY, then hopefully a future trip to ride the Adventure Dome coasters!
I stayed at Circus Circus over 20 years ago and it was budget friendly with a decent buffet. I didn't care for the area it's located in and now stay down on the strip where there's easier access to more events and food. Ya'll did a good review of Circus Circus.
Y'all are so cool! Sending Love from North Carolina! Y'all need to come to Myrtle Beach and do a video! It will be hilarious! By the way...we always stay at South Point! It is awesome!
We stayed at Excalibur Casino/Hotel at the end of April '23, and it had that sulfur/sewer smell for sure, at the pool area entrance, I never visited the pool area. I also smelled sewage at several other casinos, and walking through the strip, stinky town, but there are just so many people there all the time I guess it's just part of humanity.
You two are a beautiful couple!!! Thanks for the wisdom and laughs. Bless you.
Thanks so much for your kind words. We really appreciate it!
Y’all are one of my favorite couples on CZcams. Videos are both fun and informative! Every time I visit Vegas, I watch your videos to get ready.
Wooo look very beautiful hotel
This very FANTASTIC
Thanks for sharing my friend
Full watched HERE
Smoke is a big factor. Some of the fancier resorts are very well filtered.
I stayed at Circus Circus around 2008, and it wasn't horrible! We stayed in a room similar to theirs in the main casino (I think). Our room was on the same floor as the casino. I know that we didn't stay in the towers. Now, I wouldn't stay there again, but it wasn't a bad experience when I did. I think people stay there because it's so budget friendly.
This is what Dad and I needed. THANK YOU !!!
Thank you for your advice about the hotels i. Vegas.
The luxor and excalibur hold a special place for us.!
Thank you soo much!
You’re very welcome Jessi! We really enjoy sharing our Las Vegas experiences with you! May we ask why Excalibur and Luxor hold special places for you?
@@TurnItUpWorld of course
Excalibur i got my first hand pay
Luxlor my kids like it there
Thanks, great reasons!
WOW I WOULD DEFINITELY STAY AT ELLIS ISLAND AND THE FOOD LOOKS SO DELICIOUS RIBS YEEESSS 😋. I HAVE STAYED AT EXCALIBUR A FEW TIMES AND IT WAS FINE. I REALLY LIKE THE FOOD COURT THERE. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS SUPER EXCITING VIDEO. KEEP UP THE INCREDIBLE JOB 👏🏽👏👏🏽👏
Thanks so much Tracey! Yes, Ellis Island has some really great food specials! We have had mixed experiences at the Excalibur, and recognize that a lot of Las Vegas visitors really like it! Do you have a favorite Las Vegas hotel?
You guys are adorable together. Great energy, Thank you for posting this great video. Subscribing…and…No…I would NOT ride that roller coaster LOL
Been a while unfortunately since my wife & I have been there we've been staying at Treasure Island. Love the place plus we never get charged resort fees or for parking plus we basically can walk to almost anywhere on the strip. Hopefully goin in June a little concerned about the rise in rates & rise in crime.
Cool Video definitely review it if I head to Vegas 👍👌😁
Okay Ellis Island hotel for sure! And Circus Circus looked okay....but not Excalibur or the Rio for simple reason the smoke issue and whatever you smelled at the pool no thank you ! Loved the eat places you highlighted definitely checking out Ellis rib joint next time I am in Vegas (going in spring 2023) love your videos!!!
Rode the coaster years ago. Was fun...GO BACK AND RIDE IT! 🤪
Not a great choice but we have stayed at Excalibur before soooo I guess if we had to ....love Vegas from your northern friends .. Great video guys!
You guys r great. Fun to watch and I get the truth.
Thanks John, we really appreciate it! What’s your favorite Las Vegas hotel and have you stayed at any of these four?
I'm staying at Bally's next weekend and the price wasn't bad even with resort fees I'm also Caesars Platinum
Thank you for reviewing Excalibur. I have midweek reservations in March for a stay well room. I chose it because of its proximity to The House of Blues where I will be attending a concert. The tram makes it very nice since I will be traveling alone. Other reviews have been so mixed, but they focus more on restaurants and other features not the rooms.
Thanks Kim, we are glad that you found our video helpful. You will have a great time in Las Vegas! When was the last time you were in Vegas and who are you seeing in concert?
I was at the Excalibur last March in a stay well room and was 100 % satisfied. I am coming back March 2nd and am staying at the resort again. I have had great service there and lots to keep me busy. You will enjoy it for sure.
I stayed at the Rio when they still had the show in the sky. Can't remember the date but I the rooms were so big I found and back them wasn't considered outdated. I have not stayed at any of the others but have visited to gamble and eat. I would stay at any of them. As long as the room is clean I'm good. Thanks for the update.
Y'all definitely took one for the team on this one Baby!!
Thanks for this video. My wife and I just came back from Vegas last night for her birthday. We stayed at Caesers for 3 days and then Bellagio for 3 days. I have to say I like Caesers better as there are far more food options Imo. Hotels we visited including Sahara and almost everywhere in between. I have to say I am infatuated with Aria. When you guys get a chance can you do a review of Aria?
Happy birthday to you wife! Sounds like y’all had a great time! Thanks for watching! 🙏 By the way be sure to follow our newsletter for up-to-date info on where we are, meetups, tip, and more! www.turnitupworld.com/newsletter
When you open the desk at Circus Circus I hollered😅😅😅
We stayed at the circus circus because we have kids. Honestly- not nearly as bad as most of the reviews- the bed was comfortable and our room was clean.
I took my grandson to the kids “adventure dome” area years ago and You COULD NOT PAY ME TO STAY THERE--NEVER EVER MIND EATING THERE! A tip I learned years ago when staying in hotels--LIFT UP THE MATTRESS AND CHECK UNDERNEATH! I found small liquor bottles, used condoms, and other trash in what was supposed to be a “GOOD HOTEL”! LOOK NEVER ASSUME!
I recently stayed in Circus Circus with my wife and three friends. They put us in the Manor buildings. Needless to say, we were less than impressed. They wouldn't even let us rent a rollaway bed for our fifth person. The elevator was old and was in need of some major upgrades. The view was of one of the other Manor buildings. It reminded me of a college dorm building or a Military Barracks from pre-1990.
I have also stayed a couple times at Excalibur a couple times. I asked for a room with a good view the first time and was right across from NY-NY so when I was chilling, I could watch the rollercoaster. The next time I was there, again asked for a good view and got a view of the roof. Not impressed at all. But, from what your video said, they recently did some renovations, the shower you showed was not very appealing, unlike the rooms I had. A total walk-in shower that was big enough for two people if you wanted that many in the shower. On the downside, only part of the TV channels worked, so when you wanted to just chill and relax, you were limited.
I have been also to NY-NY and Luxor and both put me into rooms with no view at all. Made my stay pretty sad for those downtimes when I just wanted to get out of the heat and have a cold one.
Good vlog. Stayed at a few of those hotels. Not too bad if your on a budget. Definitely wouldn't walk out at night around circus circus or Rio. 😁
Thanks Belinda, yes, not all bad for budget hotels! We agree about walking around at night, although Circus Circus Strip side towards the new Resorts World is ok.
We Rode that roller coaster 🎢 .. it was fun! 💪🎰
The Rio used to be our go-to hotel. Beautiful, roomy, great restaurants and so much fun. Didn't need the Strip. Now it is so sad. Hope they can bring it back to it's glory days.
Stayed at Excaliber one time but that was back in the 1990's. It was nice. Enjoyed it. Also stayed at Circus Circus but last time was in 2000. It was fine then too but haven't visited in over 20 years and it definitely needs an update.
Stayed at Flamingo one week ago in the Go Room, 2 queen, non-smoking Strip view. The view was amazing but it definitely needs a remodel. The room still has the small fridge and automatic curtains but they have removed the coffee maker, CD/DVD player and the remote to the bathroom in-mirror TV was missing. Also, overall the room and bathroom were clean but alot of scratches/dings on the walls and long time collection of dust in small places like outlets and wall light switches. Good thing is when I used a Lysol wipe to wipe down the counters in the room and bathroom they came up clean so no complaints there. The hallway carpet though was really bad and there was always the smell of marijuana in the hallway.
Did stay in a renovated room back in Jan (renovated a few years ago) and they were still very nice.
I went to vegas in mid june 2022.
The Rio is my go to casino as well but they have moved the world series of poker to Bally's.
Unfortunately the Rio has been going down hill for several years now. The pandemic and the loss of the world series has finished this casino off. To bad because they have a great pool area.
1) During my stay the line up at the desk to sign in went to the front door and they only had two people at the sign in desk. It was a joke. Took almost an hour to sign in and get a room.
2) Only one pool was open during my one week stay. Also no sand beach anymore. The sand is removed.
3) Only one restaurant open -- All American bar and grill.
4) NO poker room -- it's closed.
5) You mentioned coffee pots. Casinos all over vegas seem to have removed those years ago. They want you to go down stairs or order room service. A few years ago when I stayed for a couple of weeks to play at the world series of poker (when it was still at the Rio) I went to walmart and bought a coffee pot for $12 and other stuff. That's the best option. Left it in the room when I checked out.
6) I did not see a number for room service in any of the paperwork in the room. I don't even know if they still have room service believe it or not. You better find out before you go.
Unfortunately Las Vegas has out priced it self now.
It seems like it's just ---- Max profit Min service. Las Vegas is a joke. Might as well just go to an Indian casino near you and save the travel costs for gambling.
Las Vegas needs the mob to take over again or a Bob Stupak. They knew how to treat gamblers.
I have been going to Vegas since the early 80's. The town is a sad joke. To corporate. Max profit Min service.
Us too.. we also say at the Rio and we were disappointed last time we stayed.. they keep asking us to come back and see how things are since the change over. So maybe 🤔
I’ve stayed at the Excalibur, on 2020, I was celebrating my 50th birthday 🎂 I got surprised by my sister and it was my very first time in Las Vegas, I had a clean room
Excalibur is my budget go to resort when I'm on a solo trip. I like the resort mostly for the price and quickness to the airportand bus to the north outlet mall. The pool is ok.
Nice Advice! Any were you go.
Yes, that roller-coaster looks fairly normal, not crazy. I'd ride it. Looks similar to the one at California Adventure, but smaller and slower...
another peaceful video!
