Vegas Castle Unleashes 30-Day Utensil-Free Jousting Feast

Las Vegas has plenty of ways to celebrate the holiday season, from elaborate resort decorations and festive dining to special entertainment productions.

Visitors looking for something the whole family can enjoy also have the option to step away from the usual casino shows for an evening built around medieval jousting, live performances, and a dinner served without conventional utensils.

One long-running Strip attraction is preparing a seasonal version of its production, with changes to the costumes, entertainment and food served during the performances.

The holiday edition also has a limited run, giving visitors a specific window to catch the winter-themed spectacle before the regular show returns.

Nov. 25-Dec. 25 Holiday Run Transforms Excalibur Jousting Arena

Excalibur Hotel & Casino will bring back Tournament of Kings: ‘Twas the Knight from November 25 through December 25, 2026.

The holiday production transforms the traditional King Arthur-inspired dinner show into a winter-themed spectacle.

According to MGM Resorts’ announcement, audiences will watch the kings compete in medieval jousting games accompanied by holiday music, poems, and songs.

The seasonal presentation includes illuminated castle decorations, festive costumes, banners and flags. The Jester performs juggling routines, while Merlin brings snowfall into the arena, adding a winter setting to the medieval competition.

The production takes place at Tournament of Kings Arena inside Excalibur, where audiences can watch the wild action while enjoying a meal served in traditional medieval fashion, using their hands instead of utensils.

Herb-Roasted Chicken and Pumpkin Pastry Anchor Utensil-Free Meal

The seasonal meal is another change from the show’s regular offering, with a menu built around traditional holiday flavors.

Guests will dine on:

• Herb-roasted half chicken

• Roasted rosemary red bliss potatoes

• Sweet corn on the cob cooked in brown butter

• A soft-baked artisan dinner roll

• Pumpkin pastry for dessert

The dinner accompanies the performance, making the attraction a combination of live entertainment and a sit-down meal. Guests should also remember that the food is designed to be eaten without conventional cutlery.

The holiday production runs from Wednesday, November 25, through Friday, December 25. Performances are generally scheduled Wednesday through Monday at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., with Tuesdays dark.
