Excalibur, Las Vegas

Excalibur, Las Vegas

Excalibur Hotel and Casino, situated in Paradise on the vibrant Las Vegas Strip, is a premier destination for entertainment and gaming. Owned and operated by MGM Resorts International, this enchanting establishment draws inspiration from the legendary sword of King Arthur, embracing a captivating Medieval theme throughout.

The exterior of Excalibur is a remarkable sight, resembling a majestic castle, immersing visitors in a world of fantasy. Previously, a wizard-like figure representing Merlin graced the high turret, but it has been replaced by an advertisement for Dick's Last Resort.

Excalibur, at the intersection of Tropicana Ave. and Las Vegas Blvd., connects to nearby casinos via pedestrian bridges. To the north is New York-New York, and to the east across the Strip is the Tropicana. A free tram connects Excalibur to Luxor and Mandalay Bay, all part of MGM Resorts International.

Excalibur offers a massive 100,000 square feet gaming area with table games and 1,200 slot machines. It's not just a casino though. The resort has a renovated pool area, a luxurious 13,000 square feet spa and fitness center, and various dining options. Guests can also enjoy live music, arcade games, and more.

Entertainment takes center stage at Excalibur, with three remarkable permanent shows to captivate audiences. Experience the all-male revue Thunder From Down Under, revel in the musical tribute to the Bee Gees with The Australian Bee Gees Show, or immerse yourself in a medieval-themed dinner show, Tournament of Kings.

Excalibur is well-known in media, appearing in video games like Driver 2 and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It also made exciting appearances on TV shows like Fear Factor and South Park.
