Tournament of Kings is the Las Vegas dinner show built for families: knights on horseback, jousting and swordplay in King Arthur's Arena under Excalibur, with dinner served to your seat and eaten by hand. It plays most nights at 6:00 PM, with an 8:30 PM show on many nights, and runs about 90 minutes.

The menu
Roasted Cornish game hen, lemon-pepper potatoes, corn on the cob, a dinner roll and an apple dessert. There is no cutlery, which is half the fun for kids. Vegetarian (pasta marinara), vegan, gluten-free, kids' and kosher meals are available if you ask ahead; kosher needs 24 hours' notice.
The seats
The arena is split into sections, and each section cheers for its own knight. Every row looks down on the sand floor, so there is no bad view, but the front rows can get a little dust from the horses.
The holiday show
From November 25 to December 25, the show becomes "'Twas the Knight," a Christmas version of the tournament. A few dates in late November are dark, so check the calendar before you plan around it.
Other family dinner shows
Firelight Barn in Henderson is a family-friendly barn theater with country and classic rock shows and an optional barbecue dinner you add when you book. Tony n' Tina's Wedding at the Rio is recommended for ages 6 and up.
