Tournament of Kings

About this experience

Tournament of Kings is a medieval dinner show at Excalibur on the Las Vegas Strip, adapted from the legend of King Arthur. Knights on horseback joust, sword fight and race around a dirt arena while you eat a hearty dinner with your hands, in a 900-seat theater in the round. It is one of the most family-friendly shows in Las Vegas, and all ages are welcome. What happens at Tournament of Kings? King Arthur hosts a royal tournament, and knights from rival kingdoms compete in jousting, sword fights and feats of horsemanship, with special effects and pyrotechnics along the way. The audience is part of the show: each seating section is named after one of the kingdoms, and you cheer for your section's king, while the Dragon section roots for the villains. Excalibur has staged a medieval tournament since 1990, and Tournament of Kings has run since 1999. What is the dinner? Dinner is served while the knights fight, and it is eaten without cutlery. The Tournament Meal includes roasted seasoned chicken, lemon pepper roasted potatoes, corn on the cob, a dinner roll and an apple square for dessert. Meals are not served to guests who arrive 30 minutes or more after the show starts. Dietary and children's meal requests may be possible if made with Excalibur at least 4 hours before the show. Where will I sit? Tournament of Kings has allocated seating, so you choose your own seats when you book. The arena has eight sections around the dirt floor, and every section has five rows, from row A at the front to row E at the back. The central sections on the long sides, Romania and Dragon, give the most central view, while Spain and Austria look down the full length of the arena. Row A puts you closest to the horses and the action. Who is it for? All ages are welcome. Children aged 3 and under can attend free if they sit on an adult's lap and share the adult's meal; children aged 4 and over need their own ticket, which includes a seat and dinner. Guests under 18 must be with an adult. The show includes horses, pyrotechnics, strobe lights, smoke and fog in an enclosed arena, so guests sensitive to horses or dust, or with allergies, asthma or breathing conditions, should keep that in mind.
