In a desert city with a Spanish name, you would have every reason to believe you could find excellent Mexican food of every description. Not too long ago, this might not have been the case. But today, both on and off the Las Vegas Strip, a wide variety of comidas Mexicanas is on offer, from fast and cheap to relaxed and fancy.

It’s one of the greatest rags-to-riches stories in recent times. Dallas native Terry Fator had been practicing ventriloquism since the fifth grade, and performing comedy and music his whole life, but things weren’t exactly going well, he recalls performing for just one 12-year-old at a local fair appearance, before he won an audition on America’s Got Talent.

Sometimes it seems like there are two kinds of people in this world: Those who love beer. And people we don’t really understand. Not too long ago, it was the second kind of people who were probably happier in Las Vegas. Beer lovers could enjoy cheap suds though nothing much more exotic than a Guinness here and there.

Happy hour is that time of the day when you seek out the good deals to help you get through the long afternoon and into the evening. Well, in Las Vegas it’s always happy hour, right? Well, not really but you can always be happy and these places make the time between lunch and dinner a bit more fun.

Let's get started!

Indulgence. It’s what we do best in Las Vegas. But what if your idea of indulgence isn’t fine dining, rare wines, fabulous entertainment, fine art, luxury shopping or sumptuous spas? What if your idea of indulgence is nothing more (or less) than good chocolate?

The Experience

You might ask yourself why you would stay at a giant castle when heading to Las Vegas. You could say you want to be someone’s “Knight in Shining Amour” or perhaps your ideal vacation has hints of the dark ages or some snapshot of medieval times. It also could be that you know a good deal when you see one. Excalibur Hotel is located among one of the busiest intersections in Las Vegas. You are surrounded by the MGM Grand, NY/NY Casino and the LUXOR. Within minutes walking distance is CityCenter, Monte Carlo and Mandalay Bay.
