You’d be hard-pressed to find another show in town where you can really let loose, be rowdy and be this loud—all in the name of fun. Tournament of Kings, which recently returned to the Strip, resuming its schedule of six nights a week, is quite the theatrical delight, providing guests with a chance to celebrate all things medieval, including King Arthur, Prince Christopher and the Knights of the Round Table.
The story starts with the majestic wizard Merlin coming out into the theater in the round and welcoming the audience to the Tournament of Kings—an evening where various countries gather to cheer on their kings as they compete in feats of strength and knighthood. Your seat assignment for the evening assigns you to a country—Russia, Ireland, Spain, Austria, France or Hungary—or the dragon knight. It’s you and your section’s job to root on and scream for your king as he and his noble steed participate in various contests like javelin throwing and jousting.
During the tournament, guests feast on a multicourse dinner of roasted, seasoned Cornish game hen, lemon pepper roasted potatoes, corn on the cob, a dinner roll and an apple square pastry for dessert. The fun part is being able to eat everything with your hands, without those weird looks from your neighbor.
But just as the beautiful maidens seduce with their dance and the kings continue their fantastic feats, darkness falls over the theater as the evil dragon knight descends into the arena. With blazing fireballs and his minions following, a great battle ensues where Prince Christopher must avenge his father’s death. Stunning visual effects and pyrotechnics impress and truly heighten the theatrical experience.
Banging your tankards, shouting for good and evil and joining in song and merriment is continuously encouraged throughout the entire show. The nonstop action keeps guests entertained from start to finish.
