The Excalibur is the fourth of the quartet of sister properties owned by MGM Resorts International at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip. The colorful multi-turreted casino-hotel taps into the rich mythology of King Arthur and Camelot and spreads across 70 acres. With nearly 4,000 rooms the Excalibur is one of the ten largest hotels in the world. The medieval theme has not worn well since the opening in 1990 and has gradually been phased out in a modernization effort. The Tournament of Kings is still a permanent show, however, that presents a jousting tournament featuring 12 breeds of horses and 32 cast members dueling in King Arthur's Arena. The show is highlighted by a banquet feast with serving wenches where the food is meant to be consumed with no utensils.
