Attractions

Excalibur across the street from Statue of Liberty at New York, New York

Restaurants and other areas have Arthurian names, such as the Roundtable Buffet, Sir Galahad's Prime Cuts, The Steakhouse of Camelot, and Regale Italian eatery, or reflect a broader "Merrie Olde England" theme, such as the Sherwood Forest Cafe. 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.

In Spring, 2007, the "Dick's Last Resort" chain opened a restaurant in the Hotel Casino.

A few years after opening, Excalibur introduced a free nighttime show in the moat near the resort's main entrance. A Dragon would emerge from under the main entryway bridge and do battle with the wizard, Merlin. After a few years of operation, this attraction was discontinued.

The Excalibur has never been a big boxing events venue as it lacks a suitable arena. Since the middle to late 1990s, the Mandalay Resort Group has staged its major boxing and Ultimate Fighting Championship events at their sister hotel, the Mandalay Bay. For other senses of these words, see boxing (disambiguation) or boxer (disambiguation). ...

Like many other hotels on the Strip, the Excalibur features a wedding chapel. The chapel offers themed Medieval Weddings complete with renaissance period costumes. A wedding chapel is a place, other than a legal court, and usually also, other than a church, where couples can get legally married. ...

The hotel has opened a spa near the pool.

In 2007, the pool area was closed for renovation. Most of the parking area to the east of the parking garage was gated off for the expansion of the pool area. The new pool construction was originally started in Fall, 2006 in the hopes of being completed for the Summer of 2007 but there were delays so the new pool is now slated to open for Summer, 2008.
