Las Vegas is a popular year-round destination and the Excalibur offers shows such as the Tournament of Kings and Thunder From Down Under daily. Las Vegas is busiest on weekends and holidays, so consider booking a mid-week trip to save on accommodations and show tickets.
The medieval-themed Tournament of Kings dinner show is the highlight of stays at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. This family-friendly show combines a reenactment of the story of King Arthur complete with sword fights and jousting with a banquet style feast eaten without utensils just like they did during medieval times.
