About
Tournament of Kings is Excalibur's dinner show: a live-action version of the King Arthur legend that plays out while the audience eats. It is staged in a 900-seat arena set up as a theater in the round, so the tables surround the floor where the action happens.
The story is a tale of valor and treachery in Arthur's court, told through a tournament. Knights ride horses in the arena, compete to prove their chivalry, and the show adds special effects and pyrotechnics along the way.
What to expect
Dinner is served during the performance, and in keeping with the medieval setting Excalibur says guests eat it with their hands rather than cutlery. The horses, fights and effects are on the arena floor in front of the tables, so expect noise, movement and pyrotechnics close to where you sit.
Because the meal is part of the ticket, special meals have to be arranged ahead of time. Excalibur takes dietary and children's meal requests through its box office, and sells a VIP Experience as an add-on to the regular ticket.

What is Tournament of Kings?
It is a dinner show at Excalibur that retells the King Arthur legend as a live-action tournament. Knights on horseback compete in a 900-seat arena built as a theater in the round, with special effects and pyrotechnics, while the audience eats dinner at tables around the arena floor.
When is Tournament of Kings?
Excalibur lists performances Wednesday through Monday at 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM, so the show is dark on Tuesdays. The calendar on Excalibur's show page also lists a few dates with different times, so check it for the night you plan to go before you book dinner elsewhere.
How much are Tournament of Kings tickets?
Tickets start at $74.40 including Excalibur's ticket service fee, before taxes, and the ticket includes the dinner served during the show. A VIP Experience is sold separately as an add-on. Prices can vary by date and seat, so check the current price on Excalibur's show page.
Can I get a special or children's meal?
Yes, if you ask ahead. Excalibur says dietary and children's meal requests must be made through its box office at 702-597-7477 or by email, at least 4 hours before showtime and no more than 90 days in advance. Requests can't be taken on the night, so plan ahead.
Do you really eat with your hands?
Yes. Excalibur describes the dinner as eaten with the original utensil, your hands, as part of the medieval theme. The meal is served during the show while knights compete on the arena floor, so the eating and the action happen at the same time rather than in separate parts of the evening.
