Excalibur Hotel & Casino is a castle-themed resort on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, at 3850 S Las Vegas Blvd. Its colorful turrets set the scene for a family-friendly stay, with the Fun Dungeon arcade, pools and the Tournament of Kings dinner show. You can walk to nearby Luxor and New York-New York, or use the tram for a quick ride between Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay Bay. Rooms and interiors can feel dated, so this budget-minded choice suits travelers who value location and on-site activities over a polished hotel room.
A castle on the south Strip
Excalibur opened in 1990, when themed resorts were becoming a defining part of Las Vegas. Its facade takes the form of a medieval castle, with colorful turrets and a drawbridge-inspired entrance. The King Arthur theme continues inside, giving the property a playful, storybook character that stands apart from more restrained hotel designs.
The resort is at 3850 S Las Vegas Blvd, on the south end of the Strip. Walkways connect it to nearby hotels, including Luxor and New York-New York. A tram also links Excalibur with Luxor and Mandalay Bay, so you can move between these properties without relying on a car.
Family activities and the pool area
The Fun Dungeon is Excalibur’s arcade, with video, carnival and prize games. It gives families an indoor activity within the resort. The property also has a pool complex with several outdoor pools, including a slide pool with a rock formation and waterfalls. One pool is described as adults-only, while shallow areas suit children who are still getting comfortable in the water.
Pool facilities are seasonal. Families planning time there should check current access details before their trip, especially if pool time is central to their stay.
Tournament of Kings
Tournament of Kings is a dinner show built around the story of King Arthur. Knights compete in a jousting spectacle in an arena-style theater while guests eat a meal. The combination of live action and dinner makes it one of the property’s main family attractions; children’s menus are available.
The resort also has other live entertainment, bars, restaurants and casino areas. If you want a quieter stay or a contemporary hotel interior, the medieval theme and busy entertainment spaces may not suit you.
Rooms, dining and practical expectations
Excalibur is often chosen for its Strip location and value-oriented rooms, rather than for luxury finishes. Some rooms are comfortable and clean, but room condition and housekeeping can be inconsistent, and parts of the property feel dated. If anything in your room needs attention, contact the front desk during your stay.
Dining options include the Castle Walk Food Court, with quick-service choices, as well as restaurants such as Johnny Rockets, Buca di Beppo and Fatburger. The buffet is another on-site option, though its current service and availability should be checked when planning. This range makes it possible to eat without leaving the resort, while nearby hotels add more choices within walking distance.
