The Design Narrative - 

Graphic Encounter Fine Art, headquartered in Aspen, Colorado and Los Angeles, California, was engaged by the renown
Los Angeles based interior design firm, Yates-Silverman, Inc, to custom design, custom print, and custom frame, unique designs of Medieval Knights jousting on horseback. Margot Silverman, Vice President of Yates-Silverman, Inc., provided Ron Golbus, President of Graphic Encounter Fine Art with the testimony that is provided below. 

The land on which the Excalibur is located was originally the proposed site of the Xanadu Resort envisioned in 1975. The 1,730 room Asian-tropical themed resort would have been the first mega resort in Las Vegas. The project was never built when the developers could not secure a deal with the county on the infrastructure such a large project would have required.

Circus Circus Enterprises constructed Excalibur which opened on June 19, 1990, as the largest hotel in the world, with more than 4,000 rooms covering over 70 acres. As of 2016, it is the seventh-largest hotel (by total number of rooms) in Las Vegas, and the eleventh largest hotel worldwide. MGM Resorts International purchased the property in 2005.

Excalibur was designed in line with the "theme resort" strategy popular among some casino operators during the 1990s, which included the traditional Las Vegas gaming experience coupled with family-oriented elements.
