Well congratulations to the new married couple of 1990. It's too bad they don't theme the hotels the way they did during the '90s and early 2000s. The glass and steel look of the most recent properties may as well be bank buildings. They just don't compare to a castle, New York, Venice, or a circus.
Right??? Cosmopolitan and city center looks like any other bank building. Nothing beats the themes of Aladdin, Excalibur, Caesar’s, Luxor, stardust, flamingo, imperial palace, dunes etc
I remember, and it was at this time in your video, when Vegas didn't even have freeways, the highway from Los Angeles was the actual strip and you drove right through Vegas! Back then (which was not too long ago) it was in reality just a town, the desert bordered Excalibur's parking lot and the cars would end up with so much sand and dust! Then they started expanding the southern strip with Luxor, Mandalay Bay, etc.
I remember that. I went to Excalibur on Christmas 1990. It was actually the first property to greet you coming into town. Desert did meet the parking lot!
I love the Excalibur! It's not as uppity or snobby as some of the other resorts in the strip, the people are down to earth and make you feel at home, like what Vegas used to be like, now everything in Vegas is fake and arrogant
I was there that day. 8 years old, doing a wee in a bottle in the car park. Could not find a toilet! I remember when this was the largest hotel in the world. Awesome memory..
Fantasy-epic series like Game of Thrones and Harry Potter are now popular with millions of grown-up Americans. Why don't the owners of this place bring back, update, and go all-out with the castle/fantasy theme?
It may be a considered a dump but honestly for the prices other resorts have reached now Excalibur turns out to be a good deal. MGM has recently revamped the property a bit and it looks better.
I was staying at circus circus hotel when this was about half complete It already looked awesome Our cab driver said circus circus enterprises was building out of daily cash from the circus circus hotel The following year we stayed there and loved it
Ah I remember the good old days at excalibur.. I worked there 10 years ago and just recently went back and it just wasn't the same! The buffet sucked and was overpriced, they took out all the murals and good food..
I like the Excalibur and stayed there every time I visit Las Vegas. Great deal on rooms and location. sure there are fancier hotels and casinos but why pay more for a room when you are going to be out all day and night having a great time in Vegas?
@@realitycheck1092 that is one way to get robbed by taking a stranger off the strip to your room for a good time. Will stick to the so called dusty ass room.
Wow! Almost 30 years married. Renewed vows next year @ The Excalibur? Have a huge reception there too and invite your TH-cam friends too! You should set up a patreon or go fund me to throw one.
I stayed at Excalibur two years ago... it's definitely dated and in need of renovation, but it's one of the cheaper hotels on the strip. they had $5 tables pre-covid

Man hard to believe it was once considered one of the better places!!! Now it is one of the Top 5 dumps!!! My first time staying @ this place was Feb/2000 and it was already pretty dumpy..,,, Just stayed again last month & yikes!!!! Rooms are in bad shape!!! Only thing that brings me back to this place is I always get lucky there!!! :))))))
If it looks like a classic and smells like a classic, then it shall be a classic... Enjoyed my stay there this weekend !

Drogheda Drones & Fun There is a bathroom upstairs.
I was there too, I remember that! I was walking through the car park and seen a girl peeing in a bottle! Omg that was you !
I’m proud of precovid Vegas, now people are trying to turn it into Hollywood 2.0.
Vegas is Vegas not Hollywood
Hope Vegas doesn’t lose its identity

Don't forget The Lord of the Rings.
@@AlexLozanoRacing Ah, yes!
Hard to believe 28 years have gone by so fast. I remember when it was an empty lot.
That’s so cool I went in 2019 it’s changed a lot keep up the work with these videos
Cool video interesting to see the strip view back then nothing much around yet lol
It may be a considered a dump but honestly for the prices other resorts have reached now Excalibur turns out to be a good deal. MGM has recently revamped the property a bit and it looks better.
I was staying at circus circus hotel when this was about half complete
It already looked awesome
Our cab driver said circus circus enterprises was building out of daily cash from the circus circus hotel
The following year we stayed there and loved it
I was there just a week after the opening, was impresive
Ah I remember the good old days at excalibur.. I worked there 10 years ago and just recently went back and it just wasn't the same! The buffet sucked and was overpriced, they took out all the murals and good food..
Dang there were more space back then now in 2018 everything is like so close to each other
And well uh...the space returned...because of a virus.
Omg I love vegas lived here my whole life
I like the Excalibur and stayed there every time I visit Las Vegas. Great deal on rooms and location. sure there are fancier hotels and casinos but why pay more for a room when you are going to be out all day and night having a great time in Vegas?
why pay more? because we dont want bed bugs, lice, or mold exposure.
I know when I go on vacation I want to be in a nice hotel.
David Kruse I love the Mirage. It’s cheaper yet has all the luxuries you’d get elsewhere. And it’s beautiful!
What if you pull a nice chick on the strip? You wanna take her back to a dusty ass room ?

Please don't implode this historic place!!!
Historic ain't an excuse when it comes to Vegas. Pretty much every historic casino has been imploded.
this place was a dump 20 years ago
The Maxum? Where was that place??
@@TheBlackDog73Off strip, behind the Flamingo.
Huzzah!

Dont rennovate it. It'll lose its historical value.

Excalibur is the hotel I like the least as well!
I see your point. Replace it with a outerspace theme hotel!
Man hard to believe it was once considered one of the better places!!!
Now it is one of the Top 5 dumps!!!
My first time staying @ this place was Feb/2000 and it was already pretty dumpy..,,,
Just stayed again last month & yikes!!!! Rooms are in bad shape!!!

all of my memories was this place was garbage
Slàinte mhath.
I saw a big rat run between slot machines when I was passing by 10 years ago.
I'm sure you did
Bubonic plague, it’s a medieval-themed hotel of course!
I hate the Excaibur.. If I had 4 billion dollars I would buy it from MGM, implode the ugly building, and rebuild the Stardust to its old glory.
this theme was trash 25 years ago. Just look at the people excited for the opening. Of course was owned by Circus circus.
I’d rebuild the Riviera
Today it’s a nasty, dark and smelly place.
I can’t believe it’s all ugly now and when it first open everyone thought it was the best
