Excalibur Las Vegas
Hotel Information: One of Las Vegas' principal family-friendly hotels, Excalibur Hotel Casino is a fanciful castle topped by spires of many colors. A moat, suits of armor everywhere, and a midway create a medieval-style ambience.
Amenity highlights: The Tournament of Kings family show features medieval-style dining (no utensils), with “days of yore” entertainment, including jousting, horseback-riding skill demonstrations, hand-to-hand combat, beasts, fire, and pageantry. Adult women (some with men in tow) flock to Australia's all-male strip revue Thunder from Down Under. A massive rock garden with waterfalls and two waterslides separates the Excalibur’s two pools and giant spa tub.
Excalibur Hotel offers 3,991 guestrooms in two 28-story towers. Medieval-themed decor includes carved headboards and wall tapestries. Furnishings include two-chair dining sets and upholstered armchairs. Televisions offer pay movies, premium cable channels, and Internet access (surcharge) via wireless keyboards.
The new Wide Screen Rooms (opened in January 2008) are located in the Spa Tower, close to the pool area and Royal Treatment Spa. Rooms feature 42-inch plasma televisions, pillowtop beds, new furnishings, new granite countertops in bathrooms, clock radios with MP3-docking stations, and in-room safes.
