Las Vegas Excalibur Hotel and Casino

Overview

The Excalibur Hotel transports you back to the mythical days of King Arthur- mythical draw bridges, castle turrets, and shining armor. This "marvel of modern imagination" recreates the magic of medieval times with the "Tournament of Kings Dinner Show," and the Canterbury Wedding Chapels inside a hotel-casino complete with modern luxury amenities.

The Fantasy Faire Midway features medieval-themed games, Magic Motion simulator rides, an arcade and dozens of shops and restaurants.

An invitation to dine at King Arthur's table is a time-tested tradition of the highest of honors. And, at the "Tournament of Kings" dinner show, an original music production adapted from the legend of King Arthur, you can feast on a three-course meal in a theater-in-the-round, where jousting knights on horseback battle dragons, evil wizards and each other to save damsels in distress. If the meal on the plate is entertainment enough, try the equally medieval Steakhouse at Camelot, Sherwood Forest Cafe or RoundTable Buffet. Dick's Last Resort is the latest addition to Excalibur with its zany wait staff and deliciously messy cuisine.

The Canterbury Wedding Chapels provide fairytale nuptials in two ornate chapels with cathedral-style vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows and arched entrances. The bride and groom can even re-enact the wedding of Arthur and Guinevere dressed in authentic attire.

Before you tie the knot, why not treat your bridesmaids to the steamy "Thunder From Down Under." Australia's all-male revue takes its armor off nightly in Merlin's Theater. Finally, treat yourself like royalty with many relaxing options; choose room service in one of nearly 4,000 guest rooms, pamper yourself in the Royal Treatment Spa & Fitness Center, lounge by the pool or take advantage of the free blackjack lessons in the casino. Excalibur is also one of the few hotels that offers PokerPro tables. These automated poker tables allow for faster play and more people per table. Experience the newest sensation in Poker. There is nothing medieval about that.

El Cortez Hotel and Casino

Casino Information

Overview

Miss the old Vegas? Welcome to the El Cortez hotel and casino, which keeps the spirit of downtown Las Vegas in the '40s and '50s very much alive.

Built in 1941 and once owned by Bugsy Siegel, the historic building's Spanish-style architecture thankfully hasn't changed much over the years. The second lasting influence is Jackie Gaughan, who bought the property in 1963 and has directly overseen its value-driven mission - "give the customer a good deal and he'll come back" - ever since. In fact, don't be surprised if you run into the 83-year-old owner - he shows up in the casino almost daily.

Jackie's deals for his customers include inexpensive rooms, low-limit tables and slots, and bargain meals (especially if you're a slot-club member) at The Flame Steakhouse. There's also a remodeled race and sports book in the 41,000-square-foot casino, an inexpensive ice cream shop on the second floor, a coffee shop called Café Cortez, a beauty shop and a wonderful old-school barbershop.

The El Cortez, just a block to the east of the Fremont Street Experience, has over 250 rooms.

Eastside Cannery Casino Hotel

Overview

The Eastside Cannery is the second Cannery brand casino in Las Vegas. Complimenting the North Las Vegas hotel, the Eastside Cannery stays true to its historic past. The most prominent feature of the property is the 16-story bronze hotel tower featuring an exposed structural and decorative element, topped by a saw tooth roofline making it an icon for the Las Vegas Valley. There is an abundance of visual references to the burgeoning industrial era with the use of brick and steel in different locations, along with cross-braced steel facades and heavy steel open trusses. Murals depicting building amenities in a fun and nostalgic way decorate the outer walls of the property.

The inside of the Eastside Cannery Casino & Hotel is complementary to the building's architectural design. Inside, guests are transported to the age of industry. Large open truss ceilings, exposed mechanical and over-scaled detailing is throughout the property. There are elements of the past intermixed with hi-tech.

Within the new 16-story hotel tower, more than 300 guest rooms and suites feature floor to ceiling glass windows giving guests spectacular views of the mountains and the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip. The oversized 450 square foot guest room decor and furnishings are reminiscent of the ongoing industrial theme of the property, but have a fresh 21st Century feel with wide screen plasma televisions in every room. Guests who book the corner window suites enjoy an exceptional view while soaking in their in-room spas in their 600 square foot surroundings. The five executive suites on the top floor include many amenities in their 900 square foot surroundings. There is also a Jacuzzi and a half-acre pool complete with cabanas on the property.

For meeting planners, the Eastside Cannery Casino & Hotel has 20,000 square feet of ballroom and meeting space to service a variety of meeting and convention needs. The main ballroom is 18,000 square feet, divisible into five rooms. There are two additional meeting rooms as well as two boardrooms off the main ballroom.

The Pinups Bar is a feature in the new project but the depictions of the 1950's glamour girls have made way to focus on the saucy 1960's pop art beauties with a new space age op art look. The zigzag ceiling murals depict life in the 1960's with glimpses into the ever-changing future; from imagery of man entering outer space to families riding futuristic rockets. The Eastside Cannery artwork celebrates the evolution of industry and embraces the optimism of the ever-changing future.

For a spectacular view of the city, head up to the top of the hotel for an evening of drinks, food and music in the dramatic OneSix Sky Lounge.
