All told, Excalibur’s slot menu offers a 91.84% payback rate on average, good enough to beat the baseline for casinos along the Strip. One of the coolest things about playing slots at the MGM-owned Excalibur is the seasonal tournaments that run once every month or so. The New Player Welcome Bonuses are only available to players who create an account and make their first deposit at Casino Cruise. To be Hotel Excalibur Las Vegas eligible to claim the New Player.
Buyer beware - all MGM Resorts properties charge the highest resort fees (nearly $40/night) plus a $10 per day fee to self-park your car. VegasTripping suggests you find alternate accommodations.
Much like Circus Circus we'd like this joint more if there weren't so many kids running around. We're partiers not family peeps, so the Excalibur dosen't really cater to our sensibilities. There aren't as many kids as at Circus-Circus though. Compared to its connected-by-a-monorail neighbor LuXor, the Excalibur has gambling in spades. Lots of table games, a festive and less sterile atmosphere and some very playable slots. Still, stumbling around a Vegas-styled replica of Ye Olde Merry Kingdom with a ferocious buzz on is still a goofy and wonderful experience.
The Excalibur is a recreation of an fairy-tale style kingdoms castle from the Middle Ages. Knights, rogues, magicians and other Dungeons and Dragons creatures abound around every corner. The gaming area is bright and groovy and the nickel to high limit slots are sure to please nearly everyone. We've had good luck here at the blackjack tables as well as the Wheel of Fortune Slots. One notable is the Hundred or Nothing slot machine. Either you win a hundred bucks or you win squat. Three out of our party of four won $100 within 10 spins on these machines. Kick ass! Update: don't bother looking for this machine, it's gone now. Boooo!
The Excalibur offers slots from .01 to $100 a pull. (Benjamin slots are a bit too rich for us... yo!) Table games include: PaiGow, Caribbean Stud, Let It Ride, Big Six, Mini-Baccarat, Roulette, BlackJack and Craps. Keno and a full Race and Sports Book are also offered. Aye!
Excalibur is connected to the M Life Players Club. You can use points accrued here to get discounts and offers at any of the MGMMirage properties which include Aria, Mirage, Bellagio, MGM Grand, New York New York, Monte Carlo, City Center, LuXor and Mandalay Bay.

It’s a holiday miracle for one man who spent his Christmas Eve at a Las Vegas casino.
The Suncoast Hotel and Casino reported a man named Kevin won nearly $15.5 million from one of its slot machines Thursday night.
'MEGABUCKS JACKPOT ALERT!' Suncoast Casino tweeted out alongside a photo of its hidden winner. 'Congratulations to Kevin for hitting the $15,491,103 Megabucks Progressive Jackpot at @suncoastcasino!'
According to a news release shared with Fox News, Kevin won the jackpot from an International Game Technology Megabucks slot machine Thursday afternoon around 12:30 p.m. He reportedly put only $40 into the machine before his monumental win.
It was the largest slot machine jackpot Nevada has seen in eight years, according to Boyd Gaming – the owner of Suncoast Casino.
'It was certainly a Christmas Eve to remember,' a spokesman from Boyd Gaming told Fox News. 'We’re excited and honored we could play a part in this historic holiday jackpot at the Suncoast.'
Kevin, whose identity was being protected for safety reasons, said he divides his time between Las Vegas and Alaska.
He told Boyd Gaming that he intends to use his winnings to support his business and 'pay it forward.'
Social media users on Facebook have extended their congratulations and well wishes to Kevin.
'Congrats!!!!! I can’t even win a $100 and I’m there every weekend,' one user wrote with a laughing emoji.
'Wow,' another person chimed in. 'Merry Christmas to you.'

One of the world-record slot machine jackpots to occur in Las Vegas happened at the MGM Resorts-owned Excalibur Hotel & Casino in 2003, according to records from International Game Technology. A 25-year-old Los Angeles man was said to have won $39.7 million.
Three years before that, an anonymous woman won $34.9 million at the now closed Desert Inn Resort.
It’s not just Kevin testing his luck this holiday season. A laid-off preschool teacher from North Carolina won $250,000 from a scratch-off ticket, according to an announcement post from the NC Education Lottery on Tuesday.
