The Excalibur Hotel and Casino is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the United States. It is owned and operated by MGM Mirage. Excalibur, named for the mythical sword of King Arthur, uses the Arthurian theme in several ways.
Its facade is a stylized image of a castle. Until 2007, a wizard-like figure representing Merlin looked out from a high turret (since replaced by a figure advertising Dick's Last Resort). Excalibur is situated at the Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard intersection.
The intersection is so busy that pedestrians are not allowed to cross at street level. Instead, Excalibur is linked by overhead pedestrian bridges to its neighboring casinos to the north (the New York-New York, across Tropicana Avenue) and to the east (the Tropicana, across the Strip). There is also a free tram that connects Excalibur to its sister MGM Mirage properties to the south, the Luxor and Mandalay Bay.
As of 2007, Excalibur has remodeled 2000 of their guest rooms to feature contemporary furnishings and state-of-the-art plasma-screen TV's.

Also need to mention that one evening we thought we'd wander around the hotel as it was too late for us to be doing anymore exploring...so we thought we'd find someplace for a drink, maybe a little band....maybe a casual snack to go with all this. WeLLLLLLL, please don't try "Dick's Last Resort".
They advertise it as: Rock out to live music, dig into a bucket of delicious finger foods, or rally your buddies to watch the big game – the choice is yours at Dick’s Last Resort. Show off your silly side at Dick’s Last Resort -- “The Shame O’ The Strip.”

When we arrived (before midnight) it took forever to get a drink (bartenders were too busy to talk to anyone other than themselves). There was NO BAND, and there was NO FOOD. In fact, I felt like we had this little joint all to ourselves. Talk about dull & boring. It's a place we'll never try again!
I going to be honest in that the room was comfortable, but there really isn't else much that we enjoyed in this hotel...ok, maybe the price. Mediocre, but probably a good place to bring children.
