Excalibur Hotel & Casino
Four pools and dinner theater at a lower Strip price
About this hotel
Excalibur Hotel & Casino gives a family four separate pools to spread out across, unusual pool variety for a property at this end of the Strip price range, useful during peak weekends when a single deck would get crowded fast. A spa and hot tub add a rest option, while dinner theater and live entertainment cover evenings without needing to leave the property or pay Strip-headliner prices elsewhere. Pet-friendly rooms mean the family dog can come along, and accessible rooms widen the property's fit for a range of family needs. Sitting on the Strip itself, this property keeps other resorts and attractions within an easy walk. For a family wanting real pool variety and evening entertainment at a more approachable nightly rate than the newer mega-resorts, Excalibur fills a specific niche on this list.

- Dinner theater
Our take
Excalibur suits a family prioritizing pool variety and Strip location on a tighter budget than the luxury properties elsewhere on this list. The dinner theater is a genuine, family-friendly evening option most Strip resorts don't offer. It suits families less who want the newest rooms or the most polished amenities, since the property leans toward value and character over cutting-edge design.
- ✓Book dinner theater tickets a few days ahead during peak season, since shows sell out on popular nights.
- ✓Try each of the four pools over a multi-night stay to find the one with the right crowd level for the group.
- ✓Confirm pet-friendly room availability directly, since the property offers only a limited number of pet rooms.

Why guests love itFour pools at this price point felt like genuine value compared with some pricier neighbors on the Strip that only offer one deck. The dinner theater was a highlight for our kids, a change of pace from a standard restaurant meal and something few other Strip properties on this list offer. The Strip location meant walking to other attractions and dining was easy throughout our stay. Rooms were comfortable rather than luxurious, matching the lower nightly rate and our budget for a longer, multi-night family visit.
