Tournament Of Kings Shares In The Spirit Of The Season With The Return Of Holiday-Themed Show

It's time to deck the halls of the Kingdoms with the return of "Tournament of Kings: 'Twas the Knight" to Excalibur Hotel & Casino for a limited holiday engagement, November 22 - December 28. Kings, queens, knights and maidens of all ages are invited to eat, drink and have a holly jolly time, while watching the legend of Prince Christopher's journey toward knighthood unfold. Guests entering The Tournament of Kings Arena will be magically transported into a medieval winter wonderland, designed to bring holiday joy to all who come!

Guests will be served a three-course holiday feast which, true to the time of Merlin, will be eaten sans utensils. The festive meal includes creamy Dragon's Blood (tomato) Soup, juicy Cornish Game Hen, delicious stuffing cake, flavorful baked jeweled yams, fresh broccoli trees, and a mouthwatering holiday apple strudel.

Audiences will witness Merlin summon snowfall on the Kingdoms while listening to holiday-inspired music, poems and songs performed by the cast. "Tournament of Kings: 'Twas the Knight" will feature magnificently designed holiday costumes, majestic banners, flags and a castle light that will illuminate the spirit of the holiday season upon the lands! The vignettes created for the holiday show include a specially choreographed ribbon dance along with a skilled rider upon an Andalusian stallion.
