Excalibur Las Vegas Shows
Excalibur is one of the most family-friendly corners of Las Vegas leaning into its castle theme harder than any other hotel on the Strip.
What Shows Are Playing at Excalibur Right Now
Excalibur’s entertainment lineup is built around long-running resident shows. These productions have been refined over years, which means polished performances, predictable schedules, and very few surprises.
Tournament of Kings
This is the reason most people come here.Tournament of Kings is a medieval dinner show staged in a 900-seat arena, complete with live horses, jousting knights, pyrotechnics, and a cheering crowd split into rival sections.
-
The vibe: Loud, energetic, and intentionally over-the-top
-
Format: Live action, audience participation, no utensils allowed
-
Schedule: Typically twice nightly (around 6:00 PM and 8:30 PM)
-
Dark days: Usually Tuesdays
It’s one of the most popular family attractions in Las Vegas and one of the few shows on the Strip where kids are encouraged to yell instead of sit quietly.
The Australian Bee Gees Show
This is Excalibur’s go-to nostalgia concert.
The show is a fast-paced tribute to the Bee Gees, with a heavy focus on their Saturday Night Fever era hits. Expect tight harmonies, costume changes, and large video backdrops that lean into disco-era visuals rather than theatrical storytelling.
-
Run time: About 75 minutes
-
Best for: Couples, older teens, classic rock and disco fans
-
What to expect: Music-forward, upbeat, and familiar — no plot to follow, just hit after hit
If you want a sit-down show that feels more like a concert than a production, this is the easiest choice at Excalibur.
Mac King Comedy Magic Show
Often described as the best value magic show in Las Vegas, Mac King’s afternoon performance is deceptively good.
On the surface, it’s clean, goofy, and kid-friendly — but the sleight-of-hand is genuinely impressive, and the jokes land just as well for adults. It’s one of the few Vegas shows that works equally well for families, couples, and older visitors.
-
Run time: Around 70 minutes
-
Best for: Families, daytime schedules, mixed-age groups
-
What to expect: Close-up magic, audience participation, and humor that never crosses into cringe
If you’re looking for something earlier in the day or need a break from loud, late-night shows, this is a strong pick.
Thunder From Down Under
This one is very clearly not for everyone — and it’s not trying to be.
Thunder From Down Under is a high-energy male revue that’s been a Strip staple for years. It’s loud, interactive, and unapologetically aimed at bachelorette parties and girls’ nights out.
-
Run time: About 90 minutes
-
Best for: Bachelorette groups, birthdays, girls’ trips
-
What to expect: Choreographed dance routines, audience interaction, and a party atmosphere
If you’re traveling with kids or looking for something low-key, skip it. If you’re celebrating, it delivers exactly what it promises.
Ultimate 4D Experience
This isn’t a traditional show, but it’s worth mentioning for families and casual visitors.
Located in the Fun Dungeon, the Ultimate 4D Experience features short, walk-in screenings of action-heavy films with motion seats, wind, water, and other effects layered in.
-
Run time: About 15 minutes per film
-
Best for: Kids, teens, and quick entertainment between plans
-
What to expect: Fast, loud, and physical — more amusement-ride than theater
It’s not a destination experience, but it’s an easy add-on if you have time to fill.
