Right along the Vegas Strip is a bit of merry old England. Within Excalibur Hotel's castle walls, you'll find family-friendly accommodations with top-notch amenities.

The basic guest room offers such choices as a smaller tower room with one king- or two queen-sized beds, a deluxe room with sitting area, and an upgrade of either with a view of the Strip. Rooms are simple—a bedroom with a bathroom—but as long as you can unload your armor and rest your head in a comfy bed with a wooden crested headboard, it won't matter. You'll be too busy rolling high at the casino or out enjoying the nightlife of Sin City. Luckily the room amenities are far from medieval: All Excalibur rooms include high-speed Internet, cable TV and an alarm clock.

If you hate to be without your tech gadgets, Excalibur's brand-new Widescreen Rooms are a good option. Each upgraded room offers a 42-inch plasma screen television, contemporary bathrooms with granite countertops, pillow top mattresses and alarm clocks with iPod inputs. The modern rooms still maintain their Middle Ages vibe; subtle touches like framed damask-print shields show a trendy twist on the hotel's roots.

Excalibur's guest suites present a more regal experience; choose from a spacious spa room or parlor suite. Couples looking for some romance will want to reserve one of the spa rooms which feature a two-person spa tub. Families will like the parlor suite which has a full dining area, living room, guest bathroom, refrigerator and marble spa/shower.

You'll see other amenities throughout the kingdom. Whether you have pennies in your pocket or large bills, Excalibur's casino is the perfect spot for gaming. Visit the poker room or tire your arm out at the slot machines. Table games like blackjack and craps are always a blast, and the live keno lounge is available 24/7.

While you hit the casino, your kids will keep busy in the midway playing carnival games. Or check out Excalibur's new SpongeBob 4D Special FX Ride. Using digital 3D projection and 4D special effects, the ride transports you down to the ocean's Bikini Bottom for an underwater adventure, as SpongeBob frantically chases a runaway pickle to serve up the perfect Krabby Patty.

When you tire of the casino, head to The Lounge, the Octane Lounge or Dick's Last Resort to hear the musical stylings of rock and smooth-sound troubadours. Or bring the family to the Tournament of Kings dinner show, a Medieval Times-like spectacle that draws on the legend of King Arthur with knights, jousting and, of course, eating with your fingers.
