Las Vegas resort fee data

The short answer: Excalibur charges a $45 nightly resort fee before tax. Verified October 7, 2026, on the hotel's official terms page. Eligible MGM Rewards Gold members and above get it waived on qualifying reservations. In 2016 the same fee was $29.12, including tax. Ten years later it's $45 before tax, about $51 with tax. You've gotta be kidding me! Book Excalibur on Booking.com

What the $45 covers

In-room WiFi, unlimited local and U.S. domestic long-distance calls, boarding-pass printing, digital newspapers and magazines, and gym access for guests 18 and over (subject to capacity). That's the full list from the official terms. No pool-day pass or show discount hiding in it.

What you'll actually pay

$45 plus the 13.38% Las Vegas lodging tax comes to about $51.02 a night on top of your room rate. On a $60 room, the fee is nearly as big as the room. Sound right to you?

How to skip it

The waiver is written into MGM's own terms: eligible Gold+ members on eligible reservations, subject to MGM's conditions. Not a favor you have to ask for. Without status, the front desk sometimes removes it when the hotel doesn't deliver what was promised. A listed amenity unavailable (gym closed, WiFi down all weekend) or basic service missing entirely. One guest got it taken off after four nights with no housekeeping at all: "I was there four nights and never received any type of housekeeping service." Think asking nicely with no reason is enough? It isn't. The fee is in the booking terms. The only no resort fee hotels in las vegas as a standing policy are Four Queens, Casino Royale, and Binion's.

The 2016 comparison

The headline stays low. The mandatory add-on does the climbing. Ten years ago Excalibur advertised rooms at $171 with a $29.12 resort fee, tax included (2016 rate snapshot via a site.com), for an actual nightly cost of $220.64 once everything was added. Today's $45 is before tax, about $51.02 with the 13.38% lodging tax. Tax-included to tax-included, the fee is up about 75%. Well played.

Bottom line

Add $51 a night to whatever the room costs, or get Gold status and skip it on eligible stays.
