Customer Reviews

Not enough machines to play, food was bad, employees forced people off machines, lost all my money because I was told to play all my money to be apart of the Valentine?s Day raffles. What a mess of a game room. Use to be a fun place to go to but the reopen of el toro or the palace has gone down the drain. What a disappointment. Bring back the employees who enjoyed talking with everyone, bring back the old announcer, bring back the joy of a weekend after spending all week working. The new announcer is loud a

So excited to see it open again! Biggest payouts and stays open until 2am! So clean and free food! Just overall a really great time and beautiful room!

Most of the I have a great time when I don't it's just bc I lost ppl the r good

Fun place to win ands good dinner!

Great game room. They have food hourly prizes and a band for the weekend

Great snacks and drinks provided. Not enough variety in machines, they are all the same. You can't move your money between machines, it makes you lose money in the process of taking your money out. Valley players need to go to Winstar in Oklahoma or Margaritaville in Louisiana for a taste of real gaming. This is not gaming ??

Super super clean! Bigger than most floors in Vegas and more variety. They had huge new games with 10 different games on them. Super cute old games I've never seen before and were definitely older than me! They look like they are getting even more. They had drawings for extra points almost every hour and you can win cool prizes like a Polaroid. They have a covered patio to smoke or vape outside so it's not gross and smokey. The AC was like walking into a refrigerator. I felt safe and clean. The food was eve

This place is awesome! Super clean, attentive staff, and I always go home a winner. They even have MK purses as door prizes perfect for my wife. Definitely worth the stop.

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.”
