With 2,000 newly remodeled rooms and a prime spot on Las Vegas' Strip, the Excalibur Hotel offers plenty of action, whether it's superior entertainment, exquisite fine dining or live keno around the clock. Excalibur's new, modern Widescreen Rooms with 42" plasma TVs and other electronic gadgets are sure to please any technophile, while luxury spa rooms and parlor suites offer a more traditional setting to relax and unwind from your most recent all-nighter.

If you're hungry, the wacky antics at Dick's Last Resort will make you chuckle while filling you up with Macho Nachos or Ride 'Em Cowboy Rib Eye (seriously). Those with a more refined palette may prefer award-winning restaurant, The Steakhouse Camelot, with high-quality steak and seafood offerings.

Speaking of Camelot, the Tournament of Kings is a sight unique to the Excalibur. Like a version of Medieval Times on steroids, as only Las Vegas could do, the Tournament of Kings is a dinner show that encourages—in fact, requires—you to eat with your hands. Medieval fantasia comes to modern day Las Vegas in the form of jousts, sword fights and good-versus-evil rabblerousing.

Afterward, get the royal treatment at Excalibur's Royal Treatment Spa, take a dip in Excalibur's pool, which was recently doubled in size and now includes cabanas, sun decks, fire pits, and a secluded relaxation pool, or peruse the bounty at the shops along the Castle Walk. Whether you think the pervasive King Arthur slant is cheesy or appealing kitsch, once you step across Excalibur's drawbridge, you'll be transported to a medieval wonderland. Keep your wits about you and your chain mail at arms length; you never know when you'll be pulled into the tournament ring.
