Hotel and Casino
The Excalibur Hotel/Casino is a hotel
and casino situated on the Las Vegas Strip at 3850 Las
Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada. It is one
of the huge casinos owned by the Mandalay Resort Group.
Excalibur, named for the mythical sword
of King Arthur, uses the Arthurian theme in a number
of ways. Its facade is a stylized figure of a castle,
with a wizardlike figure representing Merlin looking
out from a high turret. Restaurants and other areas
have Arthurian names, such as the Roundtable Buffet,
or replicate a broader "ancient Britain" theme,
such as the Sherwood Forest Cafe. A long-running explain,
the "Tournament of Kings," features simulated
medieval jousting.
The Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard
intersection, where the property sits, is very busy,
so pedestrians are not permitted to cross at street
level. Instead, Excalibur is connected by overhead pedestrian
bridges to its neighboring casinos to the north (the
New York-New York Hotel & Casino, across Tropicana
Avenue) and to the east (the Tropicana Resort &
Casino, across the Strip). There is also an open tram
that connects Excalibur to its sister Mandalay Resort
Group hotel-casinos to the south, the Luxor and Mandalay
Bay.
The Excalibur opened on June 19, 1990.
It was one of many new, modern Las Vegas hotels that
featured children's attraction, such as an arcade. Another
feature of the Excalibur that is famous in many of today's
Las Vegas hotels is a large family swimming pool.
The Excalibur has never been a big
boxing events place. Since the middle to late 1990s,
the Mandalay Resort Group has staged its most important
boxing events at Mandalay Bay.
The Excalibur hotel also features a
marriage chapel.
History
On March 21, 2003 the biggest Megabucks
Jackpot, as of that time, was hit at the Excalibur.
The jackpot was for $39,713,982.25.
Fraudulent player behavior
Common fraudulent behavior from online
casinos players include the signing up for multiple
casino accounts using different identities in order
to claim a bonus offer multiple times. Another form
of fraudulent actions might be the use of a graphics
editing software like Adobe Photoshop to create a false
winning slot machine game screenshot in an attempt to
tell the casino they hit a jackpot and didn't get paid
for it.
Online casinos usually lock the player
account for these people, and it's widely believed that
online casinos share fraudulent player blacklists
