When you first take your seat at Tournament of Kings, you’re struck by the fact that you’re in a section that represents a country—Romania, Ireland, Spain, Austria, France or Hungary. As you watch the arena’s various sections fill up, you’re brought a meal that consists entirely of finger foods like a Cornish game hen, a bun and steamed veggies (no utensils here; the experience is meant to replicate a medieval feast). The adults in the audience can order a beer, while the kiddos can enjoy a soft drink. But old or young, you’ll be smiling from start to finish as the Knights of the Round Table compete for their country’s supremacy.
As the action unfolds, you cheer when your country’s knight mounts a steed and competes in various demonstrations of skill, from jousting to sword fighting. And just when things are getting interesting, the forces of darkness descend on the proceedings. There’s much fighting, conquering and, as you would expect, much rejoicing.
Tournament of Kings is as old as the Excalibur, and that’s not by accident; it remains one of the finest entertainments on the Strip for all ages.
