excalibur hotel in las vegas for a great night with your kids at the tournament of kings - by Kiki


Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas

Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas has entertainment for the family as well as Las Vegas bachelorettes. Kids will love the Tournament of Kings dinner show, taking you back to the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Ladies who come to Vegas to party will love those hotties from Australia in Thunder from Down Under.

Insider Secret - Be ready to eat dinner at the Tournament of Kings with your hands. No utensils are given. I recommend you either bring lots of antibacterial hand gel for you and your neighbors or plastic utensils. Bring a sack of plastic knives and forks and you will make bucks selling them or lots of new friends.

The Tournament of Kings is an elaborate Medieval production similar to Medieval Times. Horses and riders are beautifully costumed. Seven kings and one evil dragon knight parade out with majestic fanfare. Every seat is a good seat and audiences are invited to participate by cheering for the king or country they represent. For instance, if you're sitting in the Norway section, you would cheer for the Norwegian King as he rides by.

The kings dine with King Arthur at the Round Table, then the gladiator games, jousting and horse races begin. The evil fire wizard, Mordred, interrupts the fun by trying to steal King Arthur's kingdom. A battle ensues and one king dies. The others take it upon themselves to even the score. Every battle tops the previous one until a winner emerges. Dancing maidens, fire-eaters, singers and acrobats are woven into the show.

Audience members eat with their fingers when they aren't banging their fists on the table. No utensils are given. Dinner includes tomato soup (dragon blood), a Cornish hen, steamed broccoli, potato wedges, and a biscuit. Dessert is a tasty apple pastry and soda. Nothing fancy but not bad either. A wet wipe is given after the dinner, but I think they should also provide one before dining. You may want to bring your own antibacterial hand gel.

There's nothing like this show anywhere but at the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas. Caesar's Palace has the Fall of Atlantis with talking statues and the Mirage has the dolphin habitat but this entertainment at the Excalibur truly matches the hotel theme.

The Thunder from Down Under show is very popular with the ladies. In fact you won't see boyfriends or husbands in the audience. The super buff Aussies tease to please the ladies as they dance and perform skits that slowly reveal their gorgeous bodies.

Some women are singled out for flirting intentions while others participate in a fake orgasm. Must be 21 or over to attend. Men strip down to their skivvies. If you like this show, you'll also want to see the Chippendales at the Rio Hotel Casino Las Vegas. If you want to party, check out Vegas Cabaret singer Kiki Kalor. She's a high-energy singer/dancer in the style of Bette Midler and Liza Minelli.

Louie Anderson, from the hit TV series, Family Feud, performs nightly at the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas, except Fridays. His sense of humor and wit is like no other. He'll keep you laughing all night talking about his escapades as one of eleven children. For an entertainment experience you won't forget, go to the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas.
