Customer Reviews

Not a good variety of games. A lot of games were what you see at average arcades. Some games were very over priced. On the plus, it was clean and easy to walk around since no one was playing the games or hanging out. If you want to play games on the Strip, same stuff is at circus circus and I'm pretty sure it's cheaper there, only more crowded. There are are few arcades off the strip too that can be worth checking out.

Great arcade with all brand new games! I believe the arcade only recently opened in 2022 so all the games were really new and upgraded. Great selections of classic arcade games available. We had a fantastic couple of hours here. Credits are about $1 for 10 credits. The more credits you buy the more bonus credits there are. Most games are around 15-25 credits per play depending on quality and length of game. Highly recommend for kids to come and enjoy this arcade!!

Decent arcade, 30 dollars will have you here easily for an hour or two. The prize prices aren't high so you can get cool prizes without having to make a couple of visits. Cool arcade if you're in the area.

A full fledged arcade with games for prizes. Air hockey, shoot em ups, ticket games and racing ! Fun for the entire family. But for the adults they have a separate bar area for drinks.

We went yesterday and had a blast!!! ?? The staff were very friendly. I recommend for a family fun night!!! #FamilyFun #NightOut #GoodTimes #Recommendation #Fun

Really fun arcade. It's small but it was nice to get away from the busyness outside. Clean environment and food and drinks are outside

If I could give 0 stars I would. So incredibly overpriced. They had a deal for a free stuffed octopus when you buy a card, but they only had signs on the inside rather than where you buy the cards...SLEEZY!! Their claw machines are so weak and rigged they literally opened when the stuffy was in it at the top. Rigged awful arcade. Everything is way too loud. The BIGGEST RIP OFF IN VEGAS!!!! And it's Vegas..... Absolutely ridiculous

Crane games looked hard, but they have a white Pump It Up white cab updated to Phoenix. Reasonably priced too if you're staying nearby for many days. Turned up the volume for me while I was doing well; thanks to whoever set it up!

Not a bad place for the kids. I call it the kid casino. The cost per game is a bit more than what it would usually be at most arcades but that's Vegas for ya. Some of the games don't give you rewards when they should because the machine eats them. We mentioned it to the staff but they didn't seem to care. Also some of the reward values are less than what the machine says they will be which is disappointing. $40 will get you at best an hour of play.

One of the worst experiences I seen. This arcade is incredibly boring as soon as I walked in. All the arcade games are modern trash games I don't even recognize or played. I only know Mario Kart, The House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn, and Halo. The rest is garbage. Don't waste your time here! Go to the Midway at Circus Circus or the Gamer's Nest Arcade in Chinatown! Those two are more fun than this dump!

The claw machines are rigged. Had an ok time other than that.

It's a hidden gem in the strip, but if you are like me who grew up with traditional arcade games, this is the place you can't miss. It's within walking distance from most major hotels in the strip, next to the high roller. They have some great selections of games you will like, and personally I feel so much better spending $100 on games rather than losing them to gamble. If you are hardcore gamer, please check out this place.

Great selection of games and well maintained, and average pricing. Most games are about $1.50 with some of the more expensive experience games being $8-$10. Big ding is because the prizes are probably the worst out of any arcade in Vegas. If you hit a jackpot here, you basically can get any item you want. That's not to say you win a bunch of tickets but rather that the prizes are all a bunch of cheap toys. There's no incentive to save tickets at all so I can't imagine they have many repeat customers.

Well we had one heck of an experience went in put $80 of my 8-year-old and 13-year-old granddaughter's money on cards They were in the middle of playing their very first game when the manager walked up to us and said everyone needed to leave the arcade because the Wi-Fi was down. We asked what about our $80 that we just spent and we were told too bad so sad..... Seriously no refund no nothing We reached out to Caesar's entertainment spent an hour and a half on the phone with them to be told if that's the ar

Worst bartender I've ever experienced! He was SUPER young so I hope he finds his calling elsewhere and stops serving horrible quality drinks for the price guests pay! He also should stop ASSuming with guests.

The kids had a blast. It wasn't super busy, everything was clean. We got a good amount of time out of the money we expected to spend. Would absolutely recommend for families with younger kids or tweens.

If you're looking for DDR they have pump it up which is almost as good.

Good variety of games. Some machines down. Some security guards hovering. A lot of small trinkets to get with tickets but nothing too special.

Cost to much and crane games are impossible to win. Not worth the money. Go there to have fun and not to win prizes. The food court and bar are a plus.

Pretty underwhelming. Aimed at younger kids, not adults. Very few "skill" games, a lot of pay-to-win claw games, coin pushers, and similar.

Super fun place. Great place for the kids

Fun time. $60 lasted us an hour or so. Will definitely be back next time im in Vegas

Good time with the kids!!

Fun time to take a break and play some games. Very clean and friendly staff

I couldn't even get parking! Never got to the arcade. Where do players park if you're not staying at Ballys? Too difficult to find. 1 star.

All machines are tweaked to not give you points or very little. A scam imo

nice clean arcade. a lot of prize to choose from. would come back again

This place was Awesome! Everything new, stuff were nice.

We liked EVERYTHING!

(Translated by Google) Very nice arcade room for older Peters. Great varieties of games. Some games allow you to win (electronic) tokens to exchange for prizes. Unfortunately these lots are not very interesting. (Original) Salle d'arcade tr?s sympa pour les Peter les grands. Grandes vari?t?s de jeux. Certains jeux permettent de gagner des jetons (?lectroniques) ? ?changer contre des lots. Malheureusement ces lots ne sont pas tr?s int?ressants.

(Translated by Google) pretty good arcade. Prizes are still reasonable and there are little things to be won. (Original) recht gute Arcade. Preise gehen noch einigerma?en und es gibt Kleinigkeiten zu gewinnen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
