Excalibur Halfway Through Renovating Cheesy Camelot Decor
Long gone in Sin City are the days when guests desired only a bed for catnaps between bets, a 4-drawer wood dresser for underwear and socks, and a tiny closet to hang the Hawaiian print shirts and rhinestone beaded dress.
Today's hotel guests demand much more from their hotels like flat-screen TVs, WiFi (preferably free), luxurious linens, and a big ole' bathtub.
Fortunately for such demanding guests, the Las Vegas hotels are paying attention. (Or perhaps they saw our Crapping Out mention)
The 4,000-room Excalibur which opened in 1990 boasting a medieval castle theme, with some floors devoted solely to non-gambling entertainment for children and the young at heart, has gotten a new look.
Today the medieval kitsch has been replaced with an "understated elegance" and "sleek comfort." While the resort maintains a castle theme, large midway and game rooms for kids, the remodel appeals to the sophisticated business/leisure traveler, as well as families.
Plush pillow-top bedding has been added, along with 42-inch plasma screen TVs and more. So far, 2,000 of the hotel's 4,000 rooms have been completed. The renovation took two years, with the final phase slated for completion in 2010. Each phase is priced at about $30 million.
Hopefully, Thunder from Down Under will remain in residence.
