Jo's Guide to Las Vegas: Excalibur

Excalibur is one of the older casinos and hotels on the Strip, situated between New York New York and Luxor.

I think it's outdated, cheesy and in need of some TLC. That said; it is worth a visit purely for the excellent arcade section in the basement called the Fun Dungeon. Bring your singles with you though because each games costs a few.

Check out some of the hotel here:

You can see three different shows at Excalibur: The Australian Bee Gees, Thunder from Down Under or Tournament of Kings (which is a dinner and show). They're flogging off tickets for two of the above for $75 on the website.

Here are some clips from each show so you get an idea of what they offer (although Thunder from Down Under is fairly obvious - no full nudity is in this clip either).

Dining. Shudder. I had the worst meal of my life at Dirty Dick's (yep classy establishment that one). I ordered a Salad and couldn't eat it. I covered my meal with a napkin in disgust and wrote on it "Here's your tip - don't charge people for food which is not edible". Usually we are pretty good tippers (20% and above) but after the desecration of a salad I couldn't bring myself to do it. Steer clear.

In the ever-changing Las Vegas restaurant scene, Excalibur’s dining options remain famous for value, variety and a full serving of the extraordinary. Or, if you never want to leave your room, room service is available!
