All about Excalibur hotel and casino Las Vegas
Excalibur at night looks beautiful with all its lights on. If your coming to Vegas to take a break from your kids and have some romance, the Excalibur is not for you. It's one of the few family friendly hotels on the strip. There's the Fun Dungeon Arcade, Tournament of Kings dinner show and Dick's Last Resort with sassy service for food and fun. The sports book is good and comfortable with good service, there's the usual stuff, dinning, gaming, shows and a nice size pool. The Excalibur is inexpensive and centrally locate to the bridges that take you to the MGM, New York - New York and Tropicana. My next blog; all about Tropicana. Lynnlasvegas.blogspot.com

all about luxor hotel and casino las vegas
Luxor the 2nd hotel on south west side of strip---The Luxor pyramid is a 36-story structure and is home to the most powerful beam of light in the world [42.3 billion candles] and the Luxor sphinx is 25% larger than the sphinx that guard The Great Pyramid of Giza. The pyramid inside the atrium level has inclinators , aka elevators, in all four corners that transport guest up at a 39 degree angle. The sports book is non-smoking, very rare for vegas, although, about 4 years ago they passed a new smoking law that only allows smoking in the casinos. The sports book is nothing special, and service is ok, but don't forget to check out Bodies and Titanic exhibitions on the atrium level. Just a heads-up, vegas is no longer run by the mob, but don't let that fool you, there are 2 big boys in town, The MGM International and Harris, they own the strip! What monopolies do exist ? So take advantage of any deals you can get. Most hotels have free shuttles to their sister properties, package deals and discount ticket books.

first hotel on the south end of las vegas strip -- mandalay bay
Mandalay Bay is huge and has a walk- way to Luxor and Excalibur hotels, or you can take the free tram.The front tram is to Luxor and the south side of Excalibur, the back tram is an express to the north side of Excalibur that connects you to the bridges to the MGM- New York- New York and Tropicana. Mandalay Bay's pool is awesome, it has a lazy river and you can surf. The Shark Reef is a must see and don't forget the beautiful water falls out front. Dining is not a problem, there are many choices, night-life is booming, check out The House of Blues and The Hotel Bar on the 64th floor at sun-set,when it opens, what a view of the strip!! The spots book is nice with many tv,s 2 very big ones, although, the designers of spots books in vegas can't seem to figure it out --- don't put the little tv's in front of the chairs, we can't see the big screens! The casino is endless and the cocktail service is so so. Don't forget to tip, your drink may be free while you gamble but the service is not! One dollar is good. Next blog all about Luxor.

the las vegas strip
i live on the las vegas strip and thought i would blog about what i see. hope this helps you to enjoy your visit. the strip runs south to north from mandalay bay south to circus circus north. further north is the stratosphere and your last stop is old town "freemont street"light show. remember when your on the strip everything appears closer than it is, so if you are walking take water, vegas climate is very dry. best months to come to vegas; march april may september october november. summer is hot hot 100-112 ouch! there are two forms of transportation on the strip, the deuce a double-deck bus and the ace gold. the deuce runs 24/7 every 7 to 15 minutes on the strip, it is very slow, stops at every crack in the road. the ace gold looks like a small train, it is the express bus, way faster, runs every 7 to 15 minutes depending on time of day from 9am to midnight. ticket machines are at most bus stops for $7. for a 24 hour pass which can be used on both buses anytime during that 24 hour period. you must have exact change or a card to buy a ticket. your hotel concierge is your best friend in vegas, they are most often located near the hotel check-in. the concierge knows everything or will find anything you need to know---shopping, shows, food, shuttles, maps, night-clubs ,beach/pool parties, forms of transportation and much more. be informed of your choices, be less stressed and have more fun! don't forget to tip, only the big boys at the top get rich here, not the ones on the other end. don't forget this is a 24/7 drinking town, don't drink and drive, there are to many on the road already. use the bridges and crosswalks a ride to the hospital will cost you about $700. remember even if vegas is sometimes called sin city they will take you to jail each time blog i will tell you whats -up in each hotel as i move from the beginning of the strip (mandalay bay) to the end at freemont street. if you have a question for me just blog me and i'll find what you need.
