Fun Dungeon

The Manager at the DQ & orange Julius very poor attitude! And no customer Service will not be back that’s for sure!

The Fun Dungeon is exactly as it sounds — it’s a super fun arcade in the «dungeon» at the Excalibur! I live in Las Vegas and avoid the Strip but once in a while I like to go down and hit all the casino arcades (Circus Circus is the granddaddy of all arcades in town but the Fun Dungeon comes a close second).
Here you’ll find all the standard video games (Terminator, Ms. Pac Man, Guitar Hero, Star Wars, race car driving games, skeeball, and lots of old and new favorites). No matter what tickles your fancy, you’ll find something you like to play.
The absolutely greatest feature of the Fun Dungeon is the addition of classic carnival games! I love love love LOVE the games where you roll a ball into a hole and your «horse» or «dragon» or «viking ship» moves. The first one across the finish line wins a prize. Pro tip: try to get as many players to join in for $ 2 each and you get to play for the best and biggest prize possible! I’m pretty good at these games so I usually win a super cool prize (and then at the end of the night I’ll give it to a kid in the arcade who has nothing).
Minus a star because all of the claw games cost at least $ 1.00 per play. That’s just way too expensive for me. Plus a star because there is a Dairy Queen right in the middle of the arcade.
If you like to collect tickets for prizes, there are swell ticket counting machines that take the math out of the equation. Just feed your tickets into the machines and you’ll get a receipt that lists the total number of tickets you earned. Save them up or take them over to the counter and redeem for worthless trinkets (uh, I mean SWEET PRIZES)!
Don’t worry if you don’t have little ones in tow, my husband and I go here all the time and nobody ever bats an eye. A really fun diversion if you are sick of gambling on the Strip.

Great place for toddlers! I mean… if you didn’t know this already, I would be coming here.
There are not very many places that you can take a 2+ year old in Vegas. A couple, but not too many. However, this is an arcade and carnival games all rolled into one. There’s even a food joint in the middle.
My little guy loved the fishing one, and the couple of machines that will let you win regardless. Just look for the ones with $ 1 that allows you to keep trying until you get the prize.
For me? The coolest thing here was the fact that it had the latest Star Wars arcade machine. I mean, this is hot right off the shelf type stuff, and it was just sitting there. With no one else using it.
The only thing this place doesn’t have would be the hydraulic games that you can sometimes find at Gameworks or something like that. Great place though and it’s fairly cheap for lots of entertainment. Basement of Excalibur is where you’ll find it.

Located on the basement floor of Excalibur Hotel and surrounding the entrance to the Tournament of Kings show, the Fun Dungeon is a pretty nice arcade for all ages. There is a specific section within the area for younger children which my 4 year old loves. This section includes a mini-​carousel, stationary car rides filled with fun lights and sounds, and multiple games where tickets could be won to be exchanged for nice prizes.
My daughter loves venturing inside «the castle» where the princesses live. We spend an hour at the arcade/​fun dungeon and I somehow always walk away with the best prizes. There are carnival style games where you can win giant stuffed animals or play fun games like air hockey and even billiards. If you’re into laser tag, they have that too!
There is a rocket ship game right in front of the elevators and near the ticket/​prize redemption section. This is the EASIEST way to win tickets 200 at a time. Just learn the timing when you drop the quarters and make it rain with tickets at the prize booth!
Many people here in Vegas still don’t even know this place exists when I mention it and it’s really such a shame considering how much fun your child will have here! If you’re near the area with some time to spare, do your kid (s) a favor and enjoy some fun in the dungeon!

When in Vegas… either visiting or as a local with kids Fun Dungeon should be on your list of things to do. Located in the basement of the Excalibur Hotel Casino The Fun Dungeon is fun for all ages. Many of the games are newer and interactive. They also have a few merchandiser games that offer some skill and challenge in order to win prizes. Most games will also dispense tickets for winning. These tickets can be used to get all kinds of over priced toys that you can just go and buy at the store for a few dollars.
Overall this place is worth spending an afternoon and a few Jackson’s to entertain the little ones in between the adults playing some table games or slots upstairs.

This is the best place for drunk skeeball. And carnival games. And everything fun. Maybe I’m just a child at heart.

I came around 430pm on Sunday, June 7^th with five other people. We had a few of the free game vouchers as we were staying in different rooms. We tried to play the roll a ball where the prizes are smurfs and m&ms. The lady helping us was Kim. She asked how many people were playing and we told her 6. She asked which six so we pointed to all of us (mind you we were the only ones sitting down). Once the raise started my ball did not come back out. I told her and she gave me a loud sigh, rolled her eyes, and went to get another ball. Once the game ended we realized that one of the kids we were with never even got a ball. Kim yelled saying «YOU SAID 5! THERE ARE ONLY 5 VOUCHERS!» Several of us got upset at her tone and assured her we said six more than once. She recounted the vouchers and realized we were right and then decided to THROW one of them back at us!
We then decided to go play other games as we were disrespected in front of the kids and everyone else watching. One of the kids we were with really wanted to play it again though so we later went back. This time Hunng was working the game. We though oh great now we will actually have a good experience, however we were completely wrong! We sat down and she whispered some sort of smirk remark we couldn’t catch. We then proceeded to give her our vouchers and she loudly stated «WHAT YOU GUYS DON’T HAVE MONEY. YOURE TOO POOR TO PLAY SO YOURE USING THESE FREE VOUCHERS.» People walking by even stopped to see if what they heard was seriously what she said. I told her excuse me? And she simply walked away to start the game.
Once Kim and Hunng realized their attitude was not something we would be okay with and that I was definitely going to bring up the issue with a manager, they started to avoid us and would not help us with any other games. They would stand from afar and give us a mean glare,
We went to go find a manager and told him what had happened. He listened to us and told us he would go to talk to them. He also gave us some free game vouchers to make up for it. As much as the free game vouchers are a nice gesture, like we told him there this is a way bigger issue. This is completely rude and disrespectful customer service we encountered and I have no idea how the MGM corporation could employees like these. Not only were we embarrassed in front of the kids but also everyone else that was a witness. I sent an email to guest relations and really hope it finds its way to the correct manager or superior figure so that this issue is truly resolved. What once used to be a fun activity for us, no longer will have the same enjoyment.

Def reminds me of Vegas when they first tried to make it family friendly. It a bit dingy but I do love some good old fashion arcade games. Take the family to see the tournament of Kings and then have some fun in the arcade

Awesome place! We had a blast playing in the dungeon! Highly recommend it!

I stayed at the Excalibur one night and in the morning after I checked out me and my girlfriend went and checked out the fun dungeon. We went back the next day with her niece because it was so fun.
There is a huge neon sign so it’s very easy to find. There are stairs or an elevator to get up and down. What I really liked and was very surprised about was the e carnival style games they had. I figured it would be all video arcade games and ticket games. We played the ring toss and basketball shooting one the most and although I suck at both and didn’t win anything, we still had fun.
The prices for games are far, either a dollar or 50 cents depending. For the carnival games the prices depend on how many chances you want to play. For example, the ring toss had 100 rings and a small prize for $ 10. Another thing I thought was good was the play till you win games. They had a few claw machine games that were 50 cents and you kept playing until you won something.
I would definitely recommend to check this out if you’re staying at the Excalibur or are just looking for a cool arcade to hang out at.

The Fun Dungeon is located downstairs in the Excalibur Hotel and is a great place for kids and adults alike to take a break from the constant cigarette smoke and «pinging» of slot machines and enjoy other wholesome activities like shooting aliens in the face or feverishly collecting tickets!
In all honesty though, this arcade is full of both classic and new games that will entertain the pickiest of kids and the most boring of adults. My favorite game was the motorcycle game, in which I climbed onto a life-​size replica of an actual motorcycle and twisted and turned my way through the obstacles on the screen in front of me.
Be prepared to bring some cash. I spent $ 25 to get enough quarters to last about an hour and a half between my five-​year-​old charge and myself, but that’s cheap enough for Vegas!
Very fun.

I frickin LOVE this place!!!
The name is wonderful and its enormous– great fun games, super interactive and you can still get prizes with only ONE ticket!!!
Yay!
I’m very happy with the staff, the variety of games and things to do and when you check in to the Excalibur hotel, you get a coupon for one free midway game! Yes.
This place is badass

Fun Dungeon is inside Excalibur Hotel. It is a dungeon because you have to go down the stairs. It’s in the same area as King’s Tournament theater. I find this place clean, smoke free, and staff are very helpful. It can get busy and chaotic but staff here are very patient especially prize redeeming area. Kudos to the staff!
They have variety of arcade games to carnival games where you can win stuff animals. All the machines takes quarters. So you don’t have to hassle with tokens.

My kids love coming here and this always gets me for the most money in Vegas. I never realize how much that stupid minion stuffed animal will cost me when the baby sets his sights on it. I just say okay and keep handing over the cash.
Don’t get me wrong it is fun and well worth the money because your kids can win the prizes that they want. You just need to be the tough mommy. I am not. I like so see my boys happy and I enjoy having my turn at the games too.
The game attendants are pretty nice. They help the kids and will let the little kids get on the counter so they can reach to play.
I’ve never had a bad experience here. It gets crazy busy on the weekend nights. Tons of family’s and even older people who are tired of gambling come down here to play.
The ticket counter has so cool stuff too.

One of the best ones in Las Vegas. Some of the prize are great. Sometime, I was able to win a claw machine with minecraft toys. However, these game are getting expensive and your money will fly fast.
The claw machine is a dollar per try. I like the old days where the machine were fifty cents.

Love this place not just for kids but also me as an adult. Obviously not too many places on the strip cater to the youngens but families do exist in LV so its a cool alternative to chuck e cheese’s (hate that place). Skee ball is the ish! And there are carnival style games there too. Dairy Queen inside as well and restrooms are well kept. Prize section has good variety even for not a lot of tix. Recommend this place if you are in Vegas with the lil ones.

The place is pretty big with lots of machines and actual games — like ring toss, ball toss, balloon popping darts, etc.
It was busy and packed with children when we went around dinner time. I don’t know if it’s that busy all day, but is assume it is. Children really have nowhere else to go in Las Vegas besides arcades.
I liked the variety of games, and most of them are twenty five cents! Sooo appreciate that.
Did I mention I’m a sucker for arcades?
Like most places, the prizes aren’t the best selection, but that’s how arcades make their money. Anyway, it’s all about the thrill of playing the games and trying to win tickets! Right?

They had me at 25cents! Most of the machines are 25 cents. So awesome!
El Hubby Cakes and I have been to Vegas many times and we wanted to do something different besides walking the strip and pretending to play the slot machine to get free drinks, so I Unilocaled the nearest arcade and Fun Dungeon came up.
Located inside the Excalibur hotel right underneath their casino. Yeah, the décor was dated and some of the machines were old and might eat your quarters at times but that’s fine with me because it’s only 25 cents! The staff are friendly and they give your money back lol. They have other new and current machines that are 50cents to a dollar that are pretty cool too. El Hubby and I had lot of fun. We shed $ 20 and killed a good 2 hour playing and laughing *ballers!!!*
Oh and the restrooms are clean and it wasn’t too busy on a weekend, which was a good thing for us because we don’t like crowds :)

My little one likes it, so I like it.
It may not be as expansive
as the kid center
like the one in Circus Circus,
but that one gets a little nuts
and I’m not really
trying hear that see.
What’s real nice about it
being relatively quiet
is that the staff can be ultra attentive
and extra friendly.
So if you’re looking
for a boutique-​esque
entertainment spot
for your preschooler,
The Fun Dungeon
at the Excalibur
is your ideal spot.

The first time I saw the «Fun Dungeon» sign of course I was ecstatic. It’s Vegas. It’s Excalibur. It’s a medieval theme. Torture room. Whips. Chains. Leather masks. Wait, did they have leather masks back then? I know leather for sure but masks? Anyway, this is where the needle on the record goes astray with the screeching sound.
It was a dreaded Chuck E Cheese/​video game/​collect tickets for fun prizes type of place. Once I saw what type of place it was, it kind of reminded me of the Neon Boneyard Museum. It seemed like every other video game was out of order or something didn’t work right like a button or two not registering. I found it ironic that some of the actual games that were considered classic worked better than some of the latest and greatest.
As for the employees, all of them did not seem like they wanted to be there. Heck, I know the time I went was at 9 pm on Wednesday but come on! It’s usually not a good sign if there are more employees than actual customers. At that point, it was just me and my 9 year old son along with another father son combo. There were at least 6 employees working that night and some of them didn’t even look like they were working. I mean, just how many times can you wipe the cabinet of a stand up video game? Memo to the Excalibur higher ups. How long before you guys literally pull the plug on this place? I know you cant really be making that much money off of it.
So right in the middle of the whole place they put in a Dairy Queen. Huh? Could they not think of putting anything else here that is kid appropriate? Nevertheless, I realized that I havnt had a blizzard in quite a while so I ordered a Butterfinger Blizzard for me and my son to share. It was pretty good like how I remembered it to be.
Fortunately, the blizzard was a pleasant surprise. It’s pretty sad if that was the only highlight of the evening that me and my son could talk about. As for the Fun Dungeon, there was nothing fun about it. To me, the Adventure Dome at Circus Circus is 10 times better than this place. I only took one picture. What I don’t get is that why out of the 5 pictures posted on this business, the first three are all the same picture.
