| - Clashing swords, jousting, fire, and knights so exciting to see especially through the eyes of a child. This was the second time for me seeing this show and this time with my younger kids. They LOVED it. The "cheesy" factor was really high, but well worth the money if you are willing to get into it. If you don't feel like getting a little out of your comfort zone and eating with your fingers, banging on the tables and yelling, then this show is not for you.
The Tournament of Kings requires 36 staff members and uses 10 horses in each show. Since 1990 they have served more cornish hens than anyone else in the US close to 6.7 Million since 1990.
Parking is no longer free unless you are staying as a guest at the Excalibur. If you are attending the show it is $8 for 2-4 hours which was more than enough time. This is a change in the last few years.
Once you get in the casino follow the signs. You then have to check in at the box office for your tickets if you bought them online. We found some discount tickets on the excalibur website. I think it is a little cheaper if you go M-TH. You can also get them the day of the show at 30% off if you go to one of the booths on the strip Tickets4less (assuming its not sold out already). There are no shows on Tuesdays and you can choose a show times of either 6 or 8.
Then you take the elevator downstairs and walk through a bunch of carnival games that it is almost impossible to pull your children off of. Seriously, well played Excalibur to get you to spend more money.
The food was really good. You start with tomato soup and can choose a soda you like. Alcohol is extra. Then you get the main course of a Cornish hen, broccoli, a biscuit and some potatoes. Ok seriously they have been doing this show for years so they are really good cooking the hens. They have a kids meal too you can order. It comes with chicken strips and fries. I wish I had known that beforehand... For dessert they have an apple pastry which was just ok, but I am not really into apple pastries.
In the show, they use titanium swords so it actually creates sparks and the jousting is actually real. The wood breaks off on their shields which makes it fun. There are even a few fireworks thrown in there for effect. The show is pretty loud so we ended up giving one of our kids ear plugs. They also have booster seats if your kids can't see well.
Overall, I recommend this show especially if you bring the kids!
