sustainability

Managed by Green Key Global, the Green Key environmental certification is the North America’s most prestigious rating program that certifies hotels based on green practices.

That's enough electricity to power 326 average-sized homes for a year.

We reused sheets and towels during stays when guests choose to participate in our energy-saving efforts, cutting water and power usage.

We replaced the hot water distribution system with energy-efficient technology and installed high-efficiency burners on the lead hot water boiler, reducing our carbon emissions by 500 tons a year.

We saved hundreds of thousands of gallons of water just by changing the way we defrost Cornish game hens. Instead of running cold water over frozen birds to defrost them just before cooking, the birds are moved from the freezer to the refrigerator the day before. Same result using far less water.

Guests, employees and the water system are no longer exposed to harsh cleaning chemicals and the potentially hazardous disposal of the chemical packaging has been eliminated.

Excalibur's unique recycling system captures waste and recyclables from all areas of operations including casino, hotel, pool, restaurants and meeting spaces.

We stopped putting telephone directories in guest rooms, eliminating tons of paper that had to be recycled every year and saving transportation, printing and labor costs.

Our purchasing department and the team at the loading dock have consolidated our suppliers to reduce the number of trucks that deliver to Excalibur and changed the delivery hours to encourage fewer trips per supplier.

All of our job applications, and most hiring-related communications, are now issued online to eliminate paper use.
