The Daily Drop: Lady Death Joins Tournament of Kings in Las Vegas
Breaking News: Lady Death Joins Tournament of Kings in Las Vegas – Wardrobe Budget Slashed!*March 08, 2025 – Las Vegas, NV
It’s International Women’s day and in a shocking turn of events, the medieval spectacle at Excalibur’s Tournament of Kings has welcomed its most unexpected new cast member yet: Lady Death herself! Sources say the Grim Reaper’s sassier cousin celebrated by storming into the arena last night, demanding a seat at the round table—and a turkey leg to go with it. In a corresponding move the Queen of Death announced that the costume department budget would be cut by over 90%- “it’s not all bad” said one cast member, “she’s bringing in a fresh perspective and I think we’ve been missing that for some time now”
Vegas oddsmakers have set her as the 3-to-1 favorite to take the crown though original odds were delayed due to complications involved when your opponent can technically claim *every* soul in the ring. “We’re working on the fine print,” muttered one bookie, nervously eyeing his own shadow. Representatives for Caesars and MGM could not be reached for comment.
The next show is scheduled for tonight at 6 PM. Tickets are SOLD OUT, but scalpers are reportedly accepting payment in gold coins, rare spices, or—per Lady Death’s request—“the tears of your vanquished foes.”
Tournament organizers, visibly confused but desperate to boost ticket sales, agreed to let her compete. “We thought she was just a really committed cosplayer at first,” said Sir Lance-a-Lot, the show’s beleaguered producer. “Then she turned one of our stunt horses into a skeleton mid-joust”
The audience, however, is eating it up—literally and figuratively. “She speared my turkey leg right off my plate and yelled ‘Victory is mine!’” said one delighted tourist, Chad from Ohio. “Best $59 I’ve ever spent.”
Rumors are swirling that she’s already eyeing the crown, though her motives remain unclear. “Does she want to rule Camelot, or is she just here for the unlimited mead refills?” pondered Merlin, who’s been stress-eating enchanted popcorn since her arrival.
This is a developing story so please stay tuned as this medieval mashup takes a turn for the macabre. Long live the Queen!
