Well, it sure is easy to see why the Tournament of Kings is the most popular dinner show in all of Las Vegas. Housed very sensibly in the Excalibur Hotel and Casino, this is one boisterous night out!
Speaking of nights, or actually “knights”, what male of any age has never once fantasized about being the knight on the white horse, riding in to save the damsel in distress, or to fight a duel to the death? While the service of turning the average man into a knight is not currently offered, the next best thing is! The showroom is divided into different countries, also including the evil “Dragon” section. Each area may cheer on their representing knight to their heart’s content, complete with table banging, foot stomping, and thunderous chanting. Now, tell me that doesn’t sound like fun!
There will be dancing maidens, jousting, sword fights, and even fireworks. And yes… there will be food.
If the show were not so fantastic, I would be tempted to say that the perfectly cooked Cornish game hens completely drew my attention away from the show for a brief moment, but that would just not be true. While eating only with my hands, I somehow managed to never look away from the action in front of me, and STILL nearly eat every morsel put before me. The tomato soup served prior to the main course was easily funneled in with a good-sized cup with a handle, and the apple pastry for dessert was warm, flaky, and well… everything a pastry should be.
This experience is perfect for couples, groups, and families. There is truly something for everyone in the performance, and the upbeat timing of the entire show kept me completely enthralled.
