Excalibur’s Tournament of Kings
A medieval jousting dinner show where knights charge on horseback, dragons breathe fire, and you cheer for your king — and eat the whole feast with your hands.
Get Tickets to Tournament of Kings →I’ve lived in Las Vegas my whole life, and Tournament of Kings is one of those shows I never get tired of recommending — especially to families and to anyone who wants a night on the Strip that isn’t just another lounge or magic act. Tucked inside the Excalibur, it’s part live-action stunt spectacle, part rowdy medieval feast, and it’s genuinely fun for kids and grown-ups alike. Here’s what to expect before you go.

What the Show Is
King Arthur’s Court, Live in the Arena
Set in the world of King Arthur, the show gathers the kings of Europe for a night of jousting, horse races, and sword combat. Everything builds to an explosive climax when the villain Mordred appears and the kings must unite against him. You get a ringside view of the whole spectacle, complete with galloping steeds, stunts, and pyrotechnics.
Dinner — and No Silverware
This is a dinner show in the truest sense: you’re served a hearty medieval-style meal right at your seat and you eat it the old-fashioned way — with your hands, just like the knights did. Half the fun is leaning into it. It’s messy, it’s hands-on, and it’s exactly the point.
Pick a King and Cheer Loud
The audience is seated in sections, each rooting for a different king, and you’re absolutely encouraged to get loud. Cheering, singing, and a little friendly booing are all part of the experience. It’s interactive and high-energy, which is why it lands so well with kids and first-timers to the Strip.
Good to Know
One of the Strip’s Best Bets for Kids
Between the horses, the sword fights, and the chance to yell for your team, this is one of the more genuinely kid-friendly shows in town. It’s a great pick if you’re visiting with family or want something that isn’t a casino floor or a late-night lounge.
