Getting around from Excalibur — walking, tram, bus and rideshare
From Excalibur Hotel & Casino you can walk short distances along the south Strip, use the complimentary tram that links Excalibur with Luxor and Mandalay Bay, hop the 24-hour Deuce or other RTC buses to travel the Strip and downtown, or take taxis and rideshare services from the hotel's designated pickup/drop-off areas. For airport trips the fastest option is a taxi or rideshare; there is no hotel airport shuttle.

On foot: short walks on the south Strip
Excalibur sits on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip at 3850 Las Vegas Blvd S, so many Strip destinations are walkable. MGM Grand Garden Arena and Luxor are a few minutes' walk; the Fountains of Bellagio are a longer walk (listed as about 18 minutes).
Walking along the Strip is straightforward but busy and exposed to sun and heat; plan extra time in hot weather and carry water. Use crosswalks and pedestrian bridges where provided.
- MGM Grand Garden Arena: roughly a 5-minute walk
- Luxor and Mandalay Bay: adjacent; Luxor is directly next door
- Fountains of Bellagio: about an 18-minute walk
| Destination | Typical walking time (guideline) |
|---|---|
| MGM Grand Garden Arena | About 5 minutes |
| Luxor / Mandalay Bay | Minutes (adjacent) |
| Fountains of Bellagio | About 18 minutes |
Free tram to Luxor and Mandalay Bay
A complimentary tram runs 24 hours between Excalibur, Luxor, and Mandalay Bay, letting you travel between those three resorts without walking outside. The tram provides a simple, weather-protected connection for shows, restaurants, and Mandalay Bay's attractions.
The tram only serves those three properties; to reach other Strip hotels and the monorail you'll need other transit options.
- Complimentary and available 24 hours
- Connects Excalibur ⇄ Luxor ⇄ Mandalay Bay
- Useful when you want to avoid walking along the Strip
| Tip | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Use the tram for Mandalay Bay shows | Avoids a longer walk and keeps you indoors |
| Check tram connections before planning onward travel | Tram doesn't reach central/east-Strip stops or the Monorail |
Strip buses and The Deuce
The RTC's Deuce bus runs the length of the Strip (including stops near Excalibur) and operates 24 hours. It's a common, affordable choice for traveling between many Strip hotels and into Downtown/Fremont Street.
The Las Vegas Monorail runs on the east side of the Strip and requires walking or a short rideshare/taxi from Excalibur to reach a station; route maps and service hours vary, so check current schedules before you go.
- Deuce: 24-hour double-decker bus that serves the Strip and downtown
- Monorail: east-Strip stops only — not directly at Excalibur
- Bus and monorail fares and pass options change, so confirm prices and hours locally
| Service | Notes |
|---|---|
| Deuce (RTC) | Runs the Strip 24 hours; good for downtown access |
| Las Vegas Monorail | East-side stops only; not directly at Excalibur |
| Local RTC buses | Connect to other parts of the valley — check routes |
Taxis and rideshare (Uber / Lyft)
Excalibur has designated rideshare pickup/drop-off points and a taxi stand; taxis and rideshare are the usual choice for door-to-door trips, late-night travel, or when you have luggage. The hotel does not provide an airport shuttle, so taxis and rideshare are the most direct airport options.
Expect variable travel times and surge pricing during large events; always confirm the pickup location with your rideshare app before you request a ride.
- Designated rideshare/taxi areas on-site for pickups and drop-offs
- Fastest option to Harry Reid International Airport (no hotel shuttle)
- Useful for travel with luggage, late-night trips, or destinations not on bus/monorail routes
| Trip type | Recommended option |
|---|---|
| Airport (fastest) | Taxi or rideshare |
| Across Strip short hop | Rideshare / walk / tram |
| Downtown / Fremont Street | Deuce bus or rideshare |
