we went to this show as a family and enjoyed the entertainment. the spring chicken, soup etc were not ideal eating as no cutlery is provided, don't rely on getting a hearty dinner. coke etc is included, a bottle of guiness will cost $8. i was not happy when i arrived as i was told to be there at 5pm and all there was to do was get sucked into arcade games costing between 25 cents and a dollar each, a bit of a trap really. when you have finished the show you can get the free monorail up to mandalay bar and luxor for a look around without the cost of a cab or shoe leather. its expensive to go to the show, my son laughed a lot and there was lots of shouting and cheering, although we had to cheer for France ! no photos allowed as they want you to buy theirs.

Get ready to cheer for King and Country while you enjoy a medieval style dinner and guess what? No eating utensils jajaja (unless you ask for them) I ended with a frog in my throat after all the screaming and cheering for the King of Hungary! All thet for nothing because the Czar of Russia won the tournament! But I still had a good time.

Sept. 29,2009, We all attended this show and dinner. It was purchased at 1/2 price tix, the same day. I thought it was above what I had expected. I wished that our seats had been in the middle of the arena, but was satisfied to be on an upper row.We noticed no dust or odors.We liked the menu items, which were served hot and enjoyed endless drinks,from a large mug..Really enjoyed the horsemanship and riding sessions. The young lady on the beam was an added performance that we marveled about later. Meeting the cast afterwards was a nice touch. Yes, I would attend again, and probably yell and cheer somemore.

My husband and I went to this show in December 2008 and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! I've read other reviews saying it's more for children, but if you're young at heart and not afraid to let your hair down and join in, it's a ball!

You are seated in a section with your own knight to support, and it's fun to cheer him on in the jousts, sword fights etc. The show is very cheesy, but we like that sort of thing! The food was actually really good, much better than expected and eating with your fingers adds to the experience! They also do great cocktails in tankards, which you can buy as a souvenir.

My main tip would be this: If you suspect that you are in any way allergic or sensitive to horses, do NOT go to this show! I had a horse allergy when I was a child but have since grown out of it so thought I would be fine. I was very wrong! The enclosed arena and tonnes of dust kicked up by the horses meant I had the mother of all asthma attacks and we ended up having to leave early. To be fair to the show, they do warn it's not suitable for allergy sufferers, but it was much worse than I anticipated! However, this didn't spoil the show for us and we would recommend it to anyone who's not afraid of making a fool of themselves! Just a shame you can't take photos :0(

Saw the Tournament of Kings in mid-August with my wife and 8 & 10 y.o. boys. You will almost never have to pay full price (use the ubiquitous half-price booths) and with a surprisingly decent dinner (no utensils) included, it is one of the best values in Vegas at $36.25 p.p. TOK largely follows the standard "Medieval Times" script, but is done with substantially more flash and more skill. My boys really enjoyed it and I made sure to go in with the attitude that no matter how trite the show was going to be, I was going to have fun with it. As it turned out, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, cheered for our "king" (Austria) and booed the bad guys. This clearly would not have been my choice if it was just my wife and I, but even a month later, I look back and still think; "That was fun!!"
