About the Property

About Excalibur

Excalibur is one of the most affordable hotels on the Strip with a medieval castle theme. While it lacks its own nightlife, its location between Luxor and New York-New York puts Hakkasan and several dayclubs within walking distance. A solid budget pick for groups focused on spending at the clubs, not the hotel. As a budget-friendly option that puts you close to the action without breaking the bank, Excalibur attracts a crowd that matches its caliber — guests who are here for the full Las Vegas experience, not just a room to sleep in.

While Excalibur does not have a major nightclub on property, the location more than compensates. Hakkasan (5 min walk), Marquee Nightclub (10 min walk) are all easily accessible, putting multiple premier venues within reach for every night of your trip.

The 100,000 sq ft casino floor at Excalibur is a destination in its own right — whether you are warming up for the club at the blackjack tables or capping off the night with a few spins after last call. The pool complex at Excalibur features Outdoor pool deck.

One thing to budget for: Excalibur charges a $35/night resort fee on top of the nightly room rate. This is standard across the Strip, but worth knowing when you are calculating total trip costs. The property is 22 min ride from the Las Vegas Convention Center, which makes it a practical base for work-hard-play-hard convention trips.
