Excalibur, Aria Are the Next Casinos From MGM Resorts to Open on the Strip

More good news for Las Vegas. MGM Resorts says that demand for hotel rooms in Las Vegas is calling for more resorts to open.

MGM Resorts International president and acting CEO Bill Hornbuckle tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Excalibur will reopen on June 11, while demand could be high enough by the Fourth of July for Aria to come back.

Excalibur plans to reopen its slide pool and the Drenched Pool Cafe, the Fun Dungeon Arcade, as well as some of its bars and restaurants. Hotel guests also will have access to the fitness center.

He predicts that the gaming giant’s four other resorts — Luxor, Mandalay Bay, the Mirage, and Park MGM — could roll out on a biweekly or monthly basis after that.

On Thursday, the company reopened the Bellagio, MGM Grand and its neighboring Signature at MGM, and New York-New York resorts on the Las Vegas Strip.
