Venue & Seating Experience
The show takes place inside King Arthur’s Arena, located within Excalibur Las Vegas. The arena is purpose-built for this production, with tiered seating arranged around a central performance floor.
Seating is assigned by section, and guests are grouped by “realm,” which encourages crowd interaction. Sightlines are generally good throughout the arena, though proximity to the center enhances the sense of immersion, especially during jousting sequences.
Comparisons
Compared to Cirque-style productions or theatrical dinner shows, Tournament of Kings is far more casual and participatory. It prioritizes physical action and crowd energy over choreography, narrative, or visual refinement, making it closer to a live stunt show paired with dinner than a traditional stage production.
Final Take
Tournament of Kings delivers a loud, energetic dinner show built around medieval spectacle and audience participation. It’s best suited for families and groups who want an interactive, high-energy evening rather than a polished theatrical performance.
