Tournament of Kings at Excalibur is Las Vegas’ legendary medieval dinner show, and the next performance is Friday, October 23, 2026 at 6:00 PM PT. Cheer for your knight, feast like royalty, and witness heart-pounding jousting in the round at the Strip’s most iconic dinner spectacle.
For decades, Tournament of Kings has been a Las Vegas institution — a high-energy arena show where brave knights on horseback clash in sword fights, jousting tournaments, and daring stunts, all while guests enjoy a hearty three-course medieval feast eaten the old-fashioned way: with their hands. It is equal parts dinner theater, sporting event, and family-friendly spectacle.

Getting to Excalibur
