Thunderland Showroom at Excalibur Set to Open

The Excalibur Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip has opened their brand new showroom. “Thunder From Down Under”, “The Australian Bee Gees Show” and “Master illusionist Hans Klok” will share the completely remodeled showroom.  The new venue, on the second floor is now called the Thunderland Showroom.

Thunder from Down Under and The Australian Bee Gees shows have been taking place in a temporary showroom, casino level since November 2018. The former Octane Lounge remains boarded up with construction walls, and it does not appear that they have started work on the new bar and lounge, as of July 29th. The Excalibur is owned by MGM Resorts International.

Moneyline Sports Bar & Book at Park MGM

Park MGM on the Las Vegas Strip added Money Line Sports Bar & Book, instead of a traditional Sports Book.

Park MGM is the former Monte Carlo Resort & Casino, and it is owned by MGM Resorts International.
