πŸ’‘What do you eat at Tournament of Kings dinner show?
Tournament of Kings serves a two-course meal of roasted chicken and vegetables with bread and an apple square for dessert, eaten with your hands as there are no forks or spoons. This 1.5-hour show at Excalibur in Las Vegas runs $79.60 per person and pairs the meal with jousting, sword fighting, and a horseback battle against the wizard Mordred. Best for families and groups wanting a hands-on themed dinner; special menus (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher) need 4 hours' notice.

🎯 Why People Book This

The draw of this one is that the show comes with dinner built in: a 90-minute medieval jousting performance and a two-course roasted chicken meal you eat with your hands, $79.60 per person, taxes and fees included. That combination is what people are choosing, a dinner and a show in one sitting rather than booking them separately. It suits families, since all ages are welcome and the action skews toward cheering for your section's king. It's the option for a group that wants the evening planned, not a late-night adults-only act.

🎭 The Experience

Tournament of Kings is a 90-minute medieval dinner show at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino, performed in an enclosed dirt arena with seating sold by category, from USD 79.6 per person. It opens with Merlin, who assigns each section of the audience a country and a king to cheer for, then King Arthur gathers the rulers of Europe for a banquet and competition. What you watch is staged on horseback in the dirt below you: knights testing their skills, sword fighting and jousting, with pyrotechnics, strobes, smoke and fog filling the arena. The turn comes when the wizard Mordred invades the party and the kings must unite against him. While the action runs, you eat a two-course meal of roasted chicken and vegetables, bread and an apple square, with no forks or spoons, seated close to the horses and the arena. You are buying ninety minutes of staged combat and a meal eaten with your hands, scored act by act.

πŸ€” Is It Worth It?

Our verdict: This is the night for a family who'd rather make noise and eat with their hands at a medieval dinner than sit quietly through a polished theater piece. It's a crowd-pleaser built for kids and a mixed-age group cheering for the same thing β€” the catch is that anyone hoping for a refined evening out is in the wrong banquet hall.
Worth it if:
  • You've got kids in tow and want the rare Vegas show that's actually aimed at them, not tolerating them
  • You're hosting visiting relatives who'd be bored stiff by anything that asks them to whisper and behave
  • You want a celebration where the table itself is part of the fun, not just somewhere to sit
Skip it if:
  • You want a grown-up night out and quiet conversation over dinner
  • You're after a sophisticated production and would find the rowdy banquet format more chore than charm

πŸ’‘ Insider Tip

If anyone in your party needs a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher or kids' meal, request it at least 4 hours before showtime - the standard plate is roasted chicken and there's no ordering around it once you're seated, especially since you eat with your hands.

β€œYou don't sit back at this one, you pick a side and shout for it. The medieval banquet format trades polish and intimacy for participation: Merlin sorts the room into rival kingdoms, the chicken is eaten by hand without forks, and the arena puts you close to horses, dust and pyrotechnics. That proximity is the catch for anyone with allergies or asthma. A loud, full-on family night, not a quiet evening out.”
