Tournament of Kings

I remember coming here in the late 1980's shortly after I turned 21. I've now been to Vegas over 50 times and decided to try it again as my travel partner had never been and we were not disappointed. I don't remember much about the show I saw in the 80s except the jousting was intense. This version felt more elaborate with great costumes, special effects, and a good buildup to the finish. The food isn't anything special, but it's decent. You do eat with your hands and everyone gets the same thing. It did fill me up. I noticed a couple of children's plates with chicken strips and fries. Now, unless you want to represent a specific country, I highly recommend you sit in the Dragon section. Trust me, you'll have way more fun. The only negative is the bathroom is out of the arena so you have to leave and come back in. But that's minor.

I've never been to a medieval jousting show before, but my friend is a seasoned veteran. She let me know that TOK had more entertainment and a better storyline than the ones we have here in California. She even commented that the food was even better!The show we went to was holiday themed, and I absolutely loved the Christmas vibes! The Knights were so handsome and charming, we couldn't decide who was the cutest! Definitely recommend checking TOK if you're on the strip. There are always great offers for this show, so check with the box office on what deals they have. I used my MGM rewards and MyVegas app! It's located downstairs in the arcade area (you can't miss the line to get in). Although there is a line, I recommend coming on time because it's assigned seating... lol

Never been to a show like this so I went in with zero expectations. We happened to watch it during Christmas week, so they had a special holiday show with themed songs and costumes.Can I just say that this show has something for everyone, all ages! Eye candy, action, songs and dancing, pyrotechnics, horses!! Loved it all! The food was a Cornish hen, undercooked sweet potatoes (they seemed raw, so I didn't eat), corn on the cob and a bread roll. Cornish hen and corn were good.We sat in the France section, back row by the stairs next to the dragon section. It was perfect! Could see everything! Knocking stars down for the service tho. We did not get any water/cola or whatever the free drink was supposed to be. We waited and waited, but hey we at least got food. Our server was oddly curt too, she gave us the check (my party ordered some alcoholic drinks) while we were still eating she just stood there. My hands are full and greasy from eating the Cornish hen. I asked if she could wait and she said no ! We were the only table she did this to, so weird. And our water glasses were still empty. Le sigh. Despite the service mishaps, I would still suggest going to see this at least once. The performers did an outstanding job!

This medieval themed dinner-theater-style experience with beautiful horses and jousting was eventful! This is definitely one of those kid friendly family things to do in Vegas with Merlin giving birthday shoutouts at the beginning of the show. The Excalibur parking garage is a long walk so be sure to accommodate walking time and standing in line time, for about 30min early before show time.Booked the 8:30 showing which started promptly. We arrived early about 8:10 and stood in a long line with others to get in and seated and order some drinks. They've got wine, beer, and speciality cocktails like Merlin's Margarita and Every King's Mojito. I wish they had jazzed up the drinks to be more festive like a sword pick in the lime wedges. Food came out timely with half a corn cob, potatoes, biscuit, and tiny chicken Cornish hen looking bird. Plastic utensils can be requested but it did take forever like 10min. Wet wipe provided for after the meal but def wash your hands before or bring sanitizer before you eat.The tournament had King Knights from each Kingdom you're assigned to that competed in various medieval events like jousting, sword fighting, and hand to hand combat. There also was a villain dragon knight with cool fire pyrotechnics. Overall the ambiance was knight-tastic with costumes, horses, and fighting. While the food may not win any culinary awards as I'm sure this is how it tasted hundreds of years ago, this was an entertaining kid friendly experience. Note: the sound/audio was very loud with a couple explosions and fireworks so do not take a baby here...even we jumped a few times!

I have not been here since I was a kid and some things never change. Excalibur itself could use a facelift. It just feels run down with the dark lightning and old decor. The secondhand smoke is super heavy inside. The show itself is downstairs next to the kids arcade area. You are seated in the section that you chose when you made your purchase online. I picked the dragon section for my children and I, since a low of reviewers commented on how rowdy and fun this section tended to be. The servers come around to all us lords and ladies and fill the steins with water or soda. You can pay extra for alcoholic drinks. They come back around with platters of chicken, corn, potatoes, and a bun. It was a little cold and bland but decent otherwise. Could have use a side of butter. When we had finished our dinner, an apple turnover was served. It was also all right. The apple to dough ratio was off and the flakiness factor was not there. The show itself was super entertaining though. It was based on the premise of King Arthur celebrating his son with a tournament. Various knights from different countries compete but Mordred tries to sabotage everything and ends up killing his father. Prince Christopher rises to the challenge and defeats Mordred becoming to next rightful king. The performers were very energetic and interacted with the crowd often. There was a great amount of lights, smoke, and fire. They knew how to work every angle with the pyrotechnics. The kids absolutely loved it. And I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. For the show alone, it's may be worth the $60 depending on your opinions. Don't expect a fancy hotel or Michelin quality food by any means. But you set your expectations right and you will still have a grand time.

Wonderful dinner and show for entire family. I remember enjoying this as a child and my children loved the show too. The food consists of a Cornish hen, potatoes, corn, bread, pastry, and soft drinks. The food is somewhat hit and miss in that the hen could be dry or juicy based upon how cooked it is. If with allergies, can request substitutions and we got pasta instead of the hen. The holiday show was pretty entertaining with dancing, singing, and fighting.

Went with family members - no kids. We still had a blast, fun and engaging. Food was basic (replicating medieval times after all) - chicken, bread roll, corn, and small potatoes. Comes with water or soda, other drinks cost extra. Photographer comes by, they offer the photos (for a cost) at the end. They get the crowd involved (hear hear!)...if you have kids, they most likely would enjoy it.I had a 2 for 1 coupon and even with that, it was a bit pricey. But fun nonetheless.

My husband and I LOVE this show! It's our Thanksgiving tradition to go see the first performance of 'Twas the Knight. It's a perfect way to kick off the holiday season. Last year, we were in Austria, but we knew we wanted to be in Dragon this year. It's SO much fun to sit in the section of the antagonist of the show. The entire cast really seems to love interacting with the audience and the show itself is incredible. It's funny, exciting, beautiful and just so full of talented people and horses. The food is only okay, but you're not there for that. Cornish hen, corn, potatoes and a roll are served that you eat with your hands. No utensils in site! Soft drinks and water are included, but they do serve alcohol and the drinks seemed to be huge (we didn't order any but the people next to us did). There are pyrotechnics that can be super loud at times (think explosions and fireworks) so keep that in mind. I would recommend ear plugs for kids (which I'm pretty sure they supply). I highly recommend buying the professional photos they take to commentate your awesome evening. $40 for 2 photos in a commemorative folder, but I find it to be worth it. Can't wait for next Thanksgiving!! We will be returning to the kingdom of Dragon every year!

It was entertaining! As if you are in a movie but it's live! I enjoyed it a lot! Together with a friend. They got the menu already packaged on your convenience it's a whole chicken with potato droplets and the bread, i might say it will be best if there's a butter with it. And oh! I loved the apple pie after the feast food, they also give you refills on your drink ( water/soft drinks only).It's pure fun and entertainment!

We hadn't seen a show like this in Las Vegas or Orlando in probably over a decade or two when our kids were small so we decided to check it out. The overall dinner and show were great. I notice you can just attend the show without dinner, but the roasted chicken, potatoes, roll, corn on cobb, and dessert were all great. They do have an additional drink menu you can order from if you want more than the water and soda that comes with your dinner. The show definately has evolved over the years since we last remember. The knight event competitions are pretty exciting. In addition, the storyline and good versus evil fight was great. Things that I don't remember from previous shows long ago was the dancers, use of amazing pyrotechnics, and use of other special effects (e.g, flames, fog, lights, etc.). The staff was also very friendly and helpful. The view from all seats are good since they use the entire arena. Next time we plan on dressing up for the period of time and getting a seat in different area a new perspective of the show (probably on arena end in Spain or Austria). Overall, we had a great experience cheering on our Knight and King of Ireland!
