In fact, in 2003, a man won a jackpot of $39.7 million at Excalibur! The property also has a 100,000 square foot gaming floor with approximately 1,200 slot machines, making it a favorite among bettors. The hotel offers roughly 4,000 rooms and suites.
It was initially owned by Circus Circus Entertainment, who built the complex, and at the time of its construction, the Excalibur was the largest hotel in the world. That being said, in recent years, the interior of the casino and hotel has been renovated to look more modern and has moved away somewhat from the medieval theme. It gets its name, of course, from the legendary sword of King Arthur. Its facade is one of the most striking on the Strip, resembling the structure of a Disney castle with colorful roofs and towering turrets. Originally founded 30 years ago, the Excalibur Hotel & Casino is Las Vegas’ sixth-largest hotel.
