Looking for a unique experience while visiting Las Vegas? Why not stay at the Excalibur, the only castle on the Strip, and go medieval?
Ever want to stay overnight in a medieval castle? Ever dream about watching knights joust in full armor while you watch, cheering on your champion? Ever curious about how lucky you are at blackjack and roulette? Why not answer all these questions with a visit to the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas!
Situated only a mile from the McCarran International Airport, the Excalibur offers a unique experience for any visitor to Vegas. The first thing you'll see when you approach the hotel are the turrets rising high into the sky; the castle surrounded by a moat - and is that something swimming in there? Stepping across the drawbridge into the lobby you'll find yourself immersed in the Middle Ages, from the large dragon statue standing to greet you to the many costumed hosts and hostesses that await your every command.
The Excalibur opened in 1990, one of the first themed casino/hotels in Las Vegas. With just under four thousand hotel rooms there's plenty of room for guests to enjoy the many features without walking out into the desert heat. Let's start with some food to prepare you for a great day of entertainment!
One of the best steakhouses in Las Vegas happens to be just under your feet at the Excalibur - The Steakhouse at Camelot! This Zagat-winning restaurant serves steaks that will take your breath away, along with excellent service and a wine menu to match.
Not feeling like steak? Well, Sir Galahad's Prime Rib House is right nearby for you to pop in and devour some major cuts of meat, carved tableside for your entertainment and enjoyment. If Italian is more your style, the Regale Italian Eatery nearby can supply all your pasta demands, as well as prepare you for a long night or day of gambling.
If you're not ready for a sit-down dinner then stop on by the Sherwood Forestry Café, open around the clock for your fast food needs. And, of course, be sure to make at least one stop at the largest buffet in Las Vegas - the Round Table Buffet! Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this smorgasbord of food is sure to please you and your family while allowing you to keep some cash in your wallet for other entertainment!
And speaking of entertainment - why go anywhere else when you can stay in the grand castle and have a great old time! Right below the main level sits the Fantasy Faire Midway, ready to give your children a wild time as they play various arcade games with two Magic Motion Film rides ready and waiting to capture their imagination and attention.
This level is also home to the Medieval Village, a plethora of shops and fast food mainstream restaurants that will meet your every need, accompanied by live entertainment that performs for the public free of charge. If you like your entertainment combined with your meals, you can find King Arthur's Arena here, the home of the "Tournament of Kings" dinner show! Watch knights joust and battle for your applause while dining on medieval fare!
For the adults there's also Merlin's Theater, presently featuring Australia's "Thunder from Down Under", a revue aimed at the fairer sex. Be sure to check the age restriction before buying tickets to this hot all-male show!
And for the romantic couples two wedding chapels offer a quiet place to either renew your vows or make that eternal commitment to each other in a medieval atmosphere. You can even rent a suit of armor or other garb to give your wedding that unique flare! For every woman who's wanted that knight in shining armor to carry her off - here's a chance to make that dream come true!
After the wedding you might want to partake of the two swimming pools or the spa for a little relaxation before taking in the games running day and night in the casino part of the resort. With slot machines that start at a mere penny a play, you can spend hours testing your luck at the many tables. If you're into sports betting you're already at the right hotel - the sports betting bar is one of the most popular on the Strip and guaranteed to keep you updated on any sport or team that you want to cheer on to victory!
Situated on the Strip, the Excalibur may be one of Las Vegas' older hotels, but age has only helped this grand old lady. With popular shows, a variety of acclaimed restaurants and over one hundred thousand square feet of gaming space; this fairy-tale castle awaits your command!
