Excalibur Hotel & Casino

Excalibur Hotel and Casino is a castle-themed MGM Resorts property at 3850 S Las Vegas Boulevard on the south Strip in Nevada. It sits between Luxor to the south and New York-New York to the north, directly across the boulevard from the MGM Grand, and a free tram connects it with Luxor and Mandalay Bay while a pedestrian bridge crosses to New York-New York. Harry Reid International Airport is roughly ten minutes away by car. The exterior is a medieval fantasy of towers and turrets in primary colours, and the interior carries the theme through a lower-level food and entertainment arcade and a casino with Arthurian decor. Room types include Resort King rooms, Resort Two Queen rooms and suites, all of which are straightforward and sized for value-oriented stays rather than luxury. The resort has long been one of the lowest-priced options on the Strip, which suits families, groups and budget travellers. The Tournament of Kings dinner show is the signature attraction, a jousting and pageantry show served with a medieval-style banquet meal. Dining otherwise includes a buffet-style tradition, cafes, counter-service restaurants and a few sit-down options, and a wider choice is a short walk away at the neighbouring resorts. There are several pools across the grounds, including a family-friendly deck, and a fitness centre. The casino floor is large and relaxed, with low-limit tables popular with casual players. Service is functional and oriented toward high-volume leisure visitors. Nightly rates generally run from about $40 to $180, plus a mandatory resort fee of roughly $40 to $55, so the real cost per night should be confirmed at booking. The property suits families with children, budget-minded couples and visitors who plan to spend most of their time on the Strip and want a short walk or tram ride to the south-end attractions.
