What to pack for a stay at Excalibur
Pack for hot days, pool time, casual dining and a few smart items for casino and show nights. Bring swimwear, sun protection, comfortable walking shoes, a light layer for cooler nights or air-conditioned interiors, and the photo ID and payment card needed for check-in (reservation holder must be 21).

Essentials for check-in & the room
Bring the original credit card used to book, a government-issued photo ID, and any reservation confirmation. The reservation holder must be at least 21 to check in.
Excalibur Hotel & Casino rooms include basics like an in-room safe and hair dryer, but you should plan for incidentals: the property places a credit/debit card authorization hold at check-in and collects a security/incidental deposit per day.
- Government-issued photo ID (reservation holder 21+)
- Credit/debit card used to book (present at check-in)
- Reservation confirmation or booking number
- Small amount of cash for tips, vending or quick purchases
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Photo ID & card | Required for check-in |
| Reservation confirmation | Speeds front-desk process |
| Phone charger & portable battery | Las Vegas days can be long; keep devices charged |
Pool, sun and seasonal swim gear
Excalibur has four seasonal outdoor pools (Main Pool, Spring Pool, Slide Pool and the adults-only Royal Pool). Pool access is complimentary for registered guests; the Royal Pool is restricted to guests 21 and older and may require a separate entry fee for certain setups.
Pools operate seasonally with longer hours in summer; check current pool hours before travel and pack accordingly.

Clothing: daytime, casino floors and shows
Las Vegas days on the Strip are often hot in spring–fall and very hot in summer; pack breathable daytime clothes and comfortable walking shoes for exploring nearby attractions.

What to bring for kids and families
Excalibur is family-friendly and offers kid-focused options like a waterslide, an arcade (Fun Dungeon), and family-style restaurants. Pack what your children need for a long day at the pool or on the Strip.
Bring small comforts for younger children since the hotel is large and busy: favorite snacks, a compact stroller if needed, and any entertainment for evenings in the room.
- Children’s sunscreen and swim diapers if required
- Extra pool toys or floatation aids (check pool rules)
- Small backpack with snacks, water bottles, and wipes

Fitness center access is included in the resort fee and open daily during set hours; pack workout clothes and closed-toe shoes if you plan to use the gym. The Spa At Excalibur offers treatments with set hours and requires reservations for popular times.
Bring basic toiletries and any preferred personal-care products. The property provides a hair dryer and in-room amenities, but you may prefer your own items and any prescription medications.
- Workout clothes and sneakers for the fitness center
- Prescription meds in original containers
