Editorial Summary

The creators evaluate three low-rated Las Vegas hotels to determine which offers the best experience despite its reputation. They begin at Circus Circus, noting its vintage atmosphere and family-friendly amenities like the Adventure Dome and outdoor pool. While they praise the steakhouse and budget-friendly food options, they criticize the aging interior and difficult check-in process. The journey continues at the Luxor, where the creators find the massive atrium impressive but express significant dissatisfaction with their room. They describe the accommodations as humid, dated, and poorly maintained, while also noting an unsettling energy within the pyramid. Finally, they visit the Excalibur, which they initially approach with skepticism. They find the medieval theming charming and the rooms relatively clean and comfortable compared to the other properties. After reviewing the pros and cons of each location, including cleanliness, entertainment, and value, the creators conclude that the Excalibur is the best of the worst due to its decent location and reliable budget experience.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We're on floor 13. So, do these hotels live up to their reputation?

The room, we're here in Vegas. We're going to have a good time, but let's go check out this room. It's seriously so dark.

This carpet has seen things. Okay. Lots of things. You can tell.

Excalibur is our winner. It's a great budget option, I would say, if you're looking to stay in Las Vegas on the cheap.
