Advantages: great atmosphere, reasonable prices, quick service Disadvantages: can get crowded
...I love Acapulco. Its cheap, cheerful, right in the middle of the city on George's St, the food is great, the service usually excellent and they do great pitchers of margueritas!
Acapulco isn't a fancy place, you walk into a busy room, with colourful Mexican-style seating, where the tables are closely packed. But everyone in there looks like they're really enjoying it. Thats what I love about the place. They are extremely busy, but don't try to hurry you along to get their table back. That's not to say the service is slow - no matter how busy it was when I've gone there, I've never been able to make that complain.
Starters start at around EUR5, with mains from about 10 upwards. Theres a decent choice, with both Mexican staples (nachos, burritos, quessidillas) as well as the usual chicken/beef options.

Advantages: Value for money, excellent casino layout, comfortable rooms Disadvantages: Getting a bit tired, Arthurian theme not to everyone's liking
...Anyone visiting vegas who wants to get value for money ought to give consideration to staying in this rather ridulously themed hotel. Whilst there are undoubtedly flashier and more expensive places to stay, the Excalibur provides good sized, comfortbale rooms, a varied selection of restaurants and a very well laid out casino. Having stayed in few of the other hotels on the strip over the past 15 years, I have come to the conclusion that you don't need to stay in the most expensive place in town to have a good time.
Being located on the south end of the famous 'Strip', the Excalibur is brilliantly located and lies opposite the MGM Grand, Tropicana, New York New York and the Luxor. Being under the same group ownership, there is a free monorail linking the Excalibur to both the Luxor and the Mandalay Bay Resort.
The casino...

...Mmmmm Mexico, now that's what I call bliss. In fact I am well travelled but this has to be one of my favorite destinations. The weather is superb, there is plenty to entertain you night and day from soaking up the rays to water sports, flea markets the list is endless as it is at night time too (not forgetting the Hard Rock Cafe of course). There is something for everyone.
I will say I have visited, Cancun, Puerta Vellarta and Acapulco. I found Cancun to be ok and had a wonderful time there but too much like the mexican version of blackpool so wouldn't return. Out of the other 2 resorts, I cannot chose. They are both quite different but fantastic too and will 100% be returning to them both....
