Circus circus, luxor, excalibur........ I know all three are not very good. Which one would be the best to stay at.

Thanks for the help

Well, if you are willing to stay off strip and downtown, I'd say the Four Queens ( http://www.fourqueens.com ). Stayed there last month for 2 weeks, the rooms have been recently renovated, it was wonderful.

Best part was, it wasn't all that expensive either. Their coffee shop if you were a member of their slot players club, offered a really tasty prime rib dinner for under 8 bucks. If you are staying (and playing) there, then many times the Casino host (located near the front desk of the hotel) would comp me my dinner. Right now they don't have a poker room, but Binions is right across the street, and is a really great room to play in. The guy who owns the Four Queens, recently bought out Binions (it's still waiting on Gaming Commision approval or so I was told when I was there in July).

Elsewhere, add to your list of hotels to away from, would be the Orleans though, it sucks.

The Rio was nice, but everything is very expensive though (including the food).

Well my work is only offering those three places for free. So its either luxor, circus circus or excalibur. which one should i pick.

Re: Hotel help
 

All three suck but of the three I would do Excalibur because it has a decent poker room and you can walk right across to MGM which is where you should play poker for a majority of your time.

Excalibur

At least this way you can sorta feel like you're on the strip. The other two are at the ass-ends.

Although...Circus Circus does have the pretty sweet trapeze show (free!) and mac and cheez at the buffet.

Re: Hotel help
 

Of the three, definitely avoid Circus Circus. Whatever quality difference there is between Excalibur and Luxor (and, having only been in the common areas of each, I would give a significant edge to Luxor) they're going to be head and shoulders above CC.

Luxor. If you pick either of the others, don't check in, just sleep out on LV Boulevard. You'll be more comfortable.

Re: Hotel help
 

Luxor by far. CC is definitely out and Excalibur is only a notch or so above CC. Luxor is THE choice out of the 3.

Besides the Luxor being nicer and cleaner, it is also connected to the Mandalay Bay, so you can easily walk over without having to go outside.

Re: Hotel help
 

Of the three, I have only stayed in Luxor and I have mixed feelings about it. One time went very well and the other time we had lots of problems with odors and damp rooms.
