Satisfy an Adventurous Appetite
It’s dark, loud, smoky and you eat with your hands. It’s also one of the hottest spots on the Strip for some family fun!
The Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur is a big Vegas show appropriate for the whole family. It begins with a visit from Merlin the wizard and then evolves into lip-syncing knights, spectacular pyrotechnics, amazing stunts and a joust between kings that you get to cheer for depending on the section you’re seated in.
The food, which is the same for everyone (no menu) and usually consists of soup, cornish game hens, vegetables, bread and dessert, is served by costumed waitstaff and yes, you really do eat with your hands! There are unlimited refills of soda, which comes in a souvenir cup, and beer and mixed drinks are also available for purchase.
The show is about 90 minutes long and has two showtimes every night at 6:00 pm and 8:30 pm. Tickets are $54 and can be purchased online or by calling (702) 597-7600.
Kids under 3 are free but they have to sit on a lap and share the dinner with a paying member. There is also no separate kids’ menu so you might want to think about a sitter if you don’t want to spend that much on a plate that’ll go untouched, though that could also be a result of being too distracted to care about food!

I’ve seen this show twice, once as a kid and then again as an adult. I have to say, both times it was really really cool. The food is okay, and it’s a novelty to eat with your hands (don’t bother asking your “serf” or “wench” for a knife and fork, you’ll get a quizzical look and a smart remark). I don’t think you can request to be seated in a certain section, but if you can get the Black Knight (I think he’s called the Dragon King now…) I suggest it. :D
Well worth the money, and people come by to take your photo for a souvenir.
