Stand-up comedy in a room designed for intimacy, where comedians can work the crowd and improvise based on the night’s energy. The lineup rotates, keeping the experience fresh, and the venue’s size means you’ll actually hear every joke clearly. No arena acoustics, no distance between you and the stage.
Tournament of Kings at Excalibur
Thu, Oct 1, 6:00 PM · Excalibur Arena at Excalibur Hotel & Casino · from $60
Medieval combat, acrobatics, and dinner theatre collide in an arena setting that feels like stepping into a different era.

October’s calendar fills quickly, so book early for the shows that matter most to you. Check dates carefully—some performances run nightly, while others are limited engagements.
