Rough Guide
"The whole place is often uncomfortably crowded; expect long lines at the restaurants."
Frommer's
"One of the largest resort hotels in the world, Excalibur (also known as the Realm) is a gleaming white, turreted castle complete with moat, drawbridge, battlements, and lofty towers."

"The giant Lego-like castle is popular with families... but recent makeovers in all of the property's rooms make much of the property look more grown-up."

"In Vegas, folks looking for a bargain often try out less expensive "nongaming" properties but find themselves either far from the Strip or bored silly. Cue the nongambling Platinum Hotel."
Fodor's
"This swank, nongaming, condo-hotel has become a fashionable hideaway for Vegas regulars who prefer top-notch amenities but don't need to stay on the Strip."

"A classy condo-hotel tucked behind the big casinos, this 255-suite property is one of the best off-the-Strip values to be found."

Time Out
"The second condo-hotel to open in Las Vegas (the first was the Residences at the MGM Grand), this highly impressive property sits within a five-minute walk of the Strip."

"This non-gaming, non-smoking hotel is a nice respite with its one- and two-bedroom suites, which range from 900 to 1,100 square feet."
