Excalibur Hotel and Casino Las Vegas

The Excalibur Hotel Vegas and Casino is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip at 3850 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Nevada. It is one of the large casinos owned by the Mandalay Resort Group. Excalibur, named for the mythical sword of King Arthur, uses the Arthurian theme in several ways. The Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard intersection, where the property sits, is very busy, so pedestrians are not allowed to cross at street level. There is also a free tram that connects Excalibur to its sister Mandalay Resort Group hotel casinos to the south, the Luxor and Mandalay Bay.

History

The Excalibur opened on June 19, 1990. It was one of many new, modern Las Vegas hotels that featured children’s attractions, such as an arcade and a small medieval style roller coaster. Another feature of the Excalibur that is prominent in many of today’s Las Vegas hotels is a large family swimming pool.

In turn the 18th floor of the Excalibur Hotel was evacuated. The fire alarms were triggered when rain entered the rooms. On April 26, 2005, the Excalibur, along with the other hotels of the Mandalay Resort Group, was purchased by rival MGM Mirage. Excalibur now has 2,000 newly remodeled Las Vegas hotel room that are called “Widescreen Rooms”. Widescreen rooms also offer the property’s best views, as well as its most convenient access to the pool and spa.

Attractions

A long-running show, the “Tournament of Kings,” features simulated medieval jousting. Regale was originally called “Lance-a-lotta Pasta” and was more family/child oriented than Regale, which is more upscale.

Like many other hotels on the Strip, the Excalibur features a wedding chapel. The hotel has opened a spa near the pool. Excalibur recently added on their official website that the pool is now open saying “We’ve doubled the size of our pool, adding cabanas, fire pits, sun decks and a secluded relaxation pool.
