The Most Flavorful Arcades in Las Vegas

Virtual Reality - MGM Grand

★★★★☆ 3.8 (12)

"Good fun for the kids! If they're minors, you'll need an adult to chaperone them. Highly recommend to get them tired of the pool or kiddie arcades aren't their thing in Vegas. If you're an outside spectator, you can watch them from the outside screens by the register."

Chuck E Cheese's

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (7)

"Been to a few Chuck E Cheeses, and this one is immaculate and heavenly in Compared to its other locations here in Las Vegas. Staff here is very friendly and professional, and they do a pretty good job keeping the place clean and the games functioning. Not too hot for their pizza, it's not bad, but not great, but their salad bar is especially clean and definitely healthier than pizza. I like the security measures that they take to keep your kids safe, and I love that they have healthy snacks available instead of just burgers, fries and pizza."

Electric Playhouse

★★★★☆ 4.1 (37)

"Located at the top level of Caesars' Forum Shops Electric Playhouse offers Motion Based Games without the need for headsets or controllers, and although all are a lot of fun the immersive Dining Experiences offer culinary enthusiasts a fun way to enjoy lunch or dinner in theme augmented reality.Currently a collaboration between Culinary Director Vivian Sorenson and Pastry Chef Keris Kuwana "Teatime in Wonderland" allows guests to follow the White Rabbit for four courses plus a story and interactive staff, each bite predictably delicious while the visuals are integrative and engaging."

John's Incredible Pizza - Las Vegas

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (818)

"This was a 5 out of 5 for my family. We came during lunch time for some Birthday fun ! Located in the Boulevard Mall right next to Goodwill. No mall entrance. Plenty of parking. Cant miss it from the parking lot.Checking in was easy.I made an account prior to arriving so I could earn points ! There are several kiosk either cash or card to sign in on and you can add items like ballons,cake etc.Once in you can grab your plate and get to dining. We were there before 3. There were barely any other patrons there. The selection was not vast. Salad and about 3 pizza choices, pasta and breadsticks were available. There was soft drink, slush, and coffe options to choose from. The ice cream was a hit and cookies were really fresh. There was also an area to purchase some adult beverages. You can pick from several different rooms. My kids liked Kaleidoscope as it reminded them of FNAF !Once done we headed to the games. The area was very spacious and offered a variety of different activities other than video games. I liked that there were buttons to push and request an attendant when you were ready to get on a ride.We had a great time. Price was reasonable as it included food and fun. Staff were very personable and helpful. The venue was clean and comfortable. We will definitely return. Great place offering something for everyone in the family !"

Bourbon Street Sports Bar

★★★☆☆ 3 (32)

"I'm glad one of my husband's friends asked us to meet him here for a beer this past weekend, otherwise I don't know if I would have found myself in this bar ever. It's definitely a hidden gem.The inside does seem a little more old fashioned than most of the bars that are being built now. But, I liked the atmosphere in here. When you walk in, there's some decor that matches that tacky Bourbon Street style for sure. It was definitely an interested feel to it, but it worked for the place. You can order at the bar right when you get in, and they give you tokens to play the games in return for your alcohol purchase, which I found was kind of cool. We were able to play a lot of the basketball game and some others. They also have a lot of seating in here, and some nice comfortable couches that are right in front of a wall of screens that are showing games. It reminded me of that feeling of a sports book in a casino. Along with the arcade games, they gave you tickets where you could pick out some more adult type of items, like t-shirts, mini helmets from your favorite sports team, etc.I ordered wine, but they do have some fun Fat Tuesday type of drinks that are blended and iced. They looked pretty delicious so I'll have to try that next time. I had already started the night out with wine so I stuck with it.At one point, we also socialized with this super sweet woman that was working there. We were sitting right outside the bathrooms and she joined our conversation, which was so nice. She was awesome, and I wish I got her name! We will probably be back another time as I do want to try those ice blended drinks."

The Claw Arcade

★★★★★ 4.7

"This is my new favorite place in the world since I love claw games!They rearrange the toys every so often.I spent $20 for tokens and definitely left with well over $20 of stuffed animals.Games don't feel rigged or unwinnable like some claw games.I scored like 7 different Pokémon (I literally caught them all) only one I missed was flareon since someone beat me to it lol.I was highkey screaming louder than the children there due to excitement I'm not even kidding lol.One of the best claw game arcades I've seen in the 30+ states I've been to in my 30+ years lol"

X World 360 - Stratosphere Casino

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (5)

"Went for the first time. The young guy with the nose ring was super helpful and convincing to try. Explain how it worked and set us up. We tried the roller coaster option which was a lot of fun. It really feels like you're on it. 5 stars! Would come back!"

Rue Bourbon Street

★★★★☆ 4 (30) • $$

"Their thing is game tokens for dollars when buying food & drinks (alcohol also), at one to one. It's fun, it's gimmicky, I like it. Games spit out tickets which can be redeemed for prizes, most with a New Orleans theme. Like bauble necklaces of all sorts, and T-shirts. Most of the games are about 4 tokens each, Pac-Man and pinball are one. Skee-Ball is 2 tokens. If games with tokens aren't your thing, Bourbon Street is a Dotty's franchise, so poker machines. And, it's a 21 and over joint, cash only. Against my instincts, I tried some food. I say that because I'm pretty sure one employee was running the show. I was starving, however, so I proceeded. The Jambalaya was pretty good, and was a large portion. The Muffaletta was also a large sandwich, which turned out to be difficult to navigate. I ended up mostly just eating the meat. The food is pretty cheap, around $5 each for the 2 items I had. Their other thing is daiquiris, again of many sorts. These are a good deal at $7 each. I think all the beer is $4, also pretty cheap. If you find yourself cruising along Boulder Highway (and who doesn't)stop on in and get a daiquiri and play some Skee-Ball."

The Nerd

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (423) • $$

"The Nerd is an interesting bar filled with random spaces. You have an arcade areas, game station, a staging area where we saw a Barbie dream house set up, and the back pit where you can ride the giant penis. The restroom was also of the most disgusting ones I've seen. One stall was a shower curtain instead of a door. I was speechless. Definitely not a bar of choice but we came here to watch our friend perform in the Variety Show they hosted on a Sunday night. They made a cocktail specifically for the show called the Blockbuster (similar to the Kirby) which we got along with a beer. The cocktail was $13, light on the alcohol, and pretty darn sweet. The beer was good but also on the sweeter side. The only pros were that the bartender was cool and they have a cool, creative drink menu."

Claw Em All

★★★★★ 4.8 (128)

"Just opened on 06/21/24 with so many cute plushies! Each game is $1 a play exchanged as a token.The place is very vibrant and fun for all ages. The owners were very sweet and gave us a few extra lucky coins and also gave us little keychains for our kids even though they weren't there with us. They were actually rooting for us to win. Although we didn't win at the casinos we sure had luck on our side at the claw machines. We left with a bag full of plushies all of which I wanted to keep but was also very tempted to trade in for a bigger prize. It made us play more just so that we can get extras to trade in. The trade in value was very reasonable. To get the giant plush you would only need to trade in 15 small plushies. Definitely a fun family friendly spot to visit!"

Claw World

★★★★★ 4.6 (260)

"Very cute claw spot in Las Vegas.We had to visit since they had Labubus to snag.Went here to give it a chance, but unfortunately I had no luck, but we still had a fun time trying.The lady that was working at the time was very welcoming and nice, I love claw machines, will definitely come back again when in town."

Time-Out At Suncoast

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"This is a fun arcade and they seem to keep up with adding some new games. They still use coins and tickets unlike the others with is kinda cool nostalgia."

Catching Ducks

★★★★★ 4.8 (20)

"I first learned about Catching Ducks when I saw their sign while dining at Cheongdam about two weeks ago. It had such a cute logo and name! (I love ducks) I was so curious about what it was! And this past Saturday, while going to Cheongdam for dinner, I noticed they were opened so we went to check it out. Catching Ducks is a claw arcade establishment and it's the biggest one in the valley that I've seen. The ones that I've visited before are generally pretty small with just a handful of machines (ex. Go Go Crane/Claw World). I love that it's bright inside and they have a lot of machines! They even have 2-3 rows of machines dedicated to snacks/drinks! YES! You can win snacks, drinks, and even ramen! I love that! It reminded me of play claw games in Japan.I visited Osaka, Japan in May 2024 and the Round 1 arcade had claw machines where you could win snacks, candy, etc. It was a much better option for us since we didn't want to bring stuffed animals home. They've got some cute plushies and like many other claw arcade places, the plushies will change. My friend actually won a handful with just $10, which is pretty awesome. I managed to grab a bag of chips in my second try and some gummy candy in my first try.Oh, the chips are Lay's chips but they're not just any regular Lay's! They're Asian Lay's! They've got flavors like cumin lamb, spicy crawfish, tako wasabi, fried crab, roasted garlic oyster, etc. Some of these flavors are available at some of the Asian markets but some are not. I've actually seen a lot of these flavors in California but not here. Pretty awesome that they carry them! Definitely give them a try, especially if you're at Cheongdam! Great place for some family fun!"

Round1 Arcade - Las Vegas

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (34)

"Round one is a great place to pass the time in the hot summers of Las Vegas. Although a bit pricey, I do think the prizes are very nice. They have a lot of good characters and I enjoy playing the games. Some of the arcade games are also fun. The employees (though few of them) are always nice and replace plushies if you ask."

Sugarloaf Entertainment at South Point

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"This was a nice arcade, although my friend couldn't get the Fruit Ninja to work right. I know you're thinking, "Maybe she just stinks at it", but she was seriously slicing a lot of fruit that didn't register as sliced. The minimum amount you can get on a card is $25, and it can be tricky using it up precisely. Also there was a machine where you try to hit it to a certain level (a test of precision, not strength) and it stands to reason that you would need at least two hits per turn, then. One to be told if it was too hard or soft and what level you got, and another to try to adjust. She paid, hit it once, it said it was too hard, and that was it. That's what she paid for. The air hockey had a zillion little pucks that were released shortly after the main puck, which surprised me, but was a lot of fun. The skee ball type machine seemed to be based on the number of balls, not time, so you can decide to shoot precisely if you want. I had more fun and higher scores when I rolled them as fast as I could with reckless abandon. After getting a couple of small prizes, the operator let my friend have a 25 point piece of candy when we only had 18 points left. It's a small kindness I haven't seen much of in Las Vegas. I'm glad we went. It was nice simple fun."

Fantasy Claw Arcade

★★★★☆ 3.8 (64)

"We were at the Fashion Show Mall and my sister in-law and I happened to come upon Fantasy Claw Arcade. We were so excited as we had no idea it was there and we love claw machines.Upon walking in I was surprised to see SO many claw machines. This is probably the biggest claw machine arcade I've been to thus far and was excited to see a great variety of plushies and prizes in each game. There were cute Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and Kuromi, Pokemon characters, and so many more.We exchanged $100 for coins and got a bonus 35 coins or so. This was a good amount to split between the both of us and we spent most of our time here instead of shopping like the rest of our family, lol.Most of the games take 1 token and move pretty quickly. The games seemed slightly harder to win compared to other arcades that I've been to and didn't grab on as easily so it took just a bit more strategy and adjusting. On average it seemed to take between 3-5 tries before it really grabbed on.I won quite a few within 1-2 tries (again, I love claw machines) and between the both of us won over 20 plushies and filled up two bags full. At the counter, they have a wall of prizes and larger stuffed animals available. We traded our wins for larger prizes which were of better quality. We kept a lot of the Hello Kitty and Pokemon plushes which were also pretty good quality as well.Overall, we had a lot fun! There's a lot of claw arcades in Vegas, but this one is a great option if you're in the area."

X World 360 - Excalibur

★★★★☆ 4 (3)

"We love this place!!! It has over 89 choices to explore while wearing the VR (virtual reality) goggles. The nice young man who's about to be married shared his love of the virtual reality of video in 360 degrees!!! My husband and I did the Extreme Rollercoaster, Deep Space, and another one where we were in cartoon land swinging on a huge swing at a fair. I need to come back!!! This was really crazy and YOLO (you only live once) so why not try it!!!!!"

Powered by Pac-Man Entertainment

★★★☆☆ 3 (1)

"Located inside New Orleans Casino. A bit expensive. But some quick fun when waiting for your movie next door for Tuesday night $6 movie. You have to use their game card (load money into it). Staff was nice enough to tell us. We loaded just $3 to play quick candy grabbing game. And won maybe 1-5 bit size candy. Maybe I'm not up to date on game prices these days?"

Pink Wa Wa

★★★★☆ 4.1 (238)

"Great fun place for kids of all ages! Even the kids that work a 9-5 already, haha. You come in, buy tokens, and go hard! they have arcade games for the kids available as well."

Supa Claw

★★★★☆ 4 (64)

"Absolutely ADORE this claw spot! Nestled in Henderson near the Galleria mall you really would miss it unless you were walking around the plaza!Tuesdays=token Tuesdays! So stop by on Tuesdays! We had lots of fun playing the claw machines and we've been to other locations and this is the one we've won the most stuffies at. Can't wait to bring my nephews and nieces here especially since it's very clean and well kept inside.LOVED it!!! Will be back."

Yomie Catch U

★★★★★ 4.6 (323) • $$

"I had such a wonderful experience thanks to Claire! She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, giving us a warm and enthusiastic introduction to all the different yogurt flavors and their unique features. Her service was outstanding, and she made us feel very welcome. Claire is truly amazing--such a fantastic and kind young lady! Highly recommend!"

Lucky Puppy Claw Arcade

★★★★★ 4.8 (205)

"I'm not a lucky person. Things don't just fall into my lap, I've never won on a lottery ticket, parking spots don't open up for me, my name is never called for a raffle prize... I never win anything. So when even I was able to get some cute prizes at the Japanese-style claw machines at Lucky Puppy Claw Arcade, chances are that you'll be lucky too. I was able to get three medium size kawaii stuffed animals (one was Totoro) and I didn't even mind that my last 10 tokens I came up empty-handed. The arcade is bright, filled with cute prizes, looking nicer than what you would get from a carnival or arcade. There's a machine to buy tokens. The machines take one token per term. It's not a large place, but I never had to wait long for my turn. And kids were having a great time -- they were winning too. I was not able to grab a penguin in a coat nor the lazy egg gudetama on an avocado--oh well. I considered myself pretty lucky for this visit."

VR Adventures

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (48)

"Definitely a touristy thing to do on The Strip... but when in Rome, amirite?!?! It's a clean little spot with few frills but apparently relatively big on thrills, LOL :xAnywho, the kids thought the roller coaster was neat. It was fairly calm and just an overall pleasant experience. Like I said, not super adrenaline laced, although the ones they COULDN'T ride looked promising. Price was decent although I did belt out my usual, "WHAT, $30?!?!!" for kicks & laughs. Would honestly not do the coaster again but the haunted elevator & rapids seemed like winners. Gotta love Vegas tourist traps. I'm all for it!"

Wolf Claw Arcade

★★★★★ 4.9 (14)

"We come here once or twice a week, because my kids just enjoys coming to this claw machine arcade. Staffs are always so friendly and pleasant. We love how their point system is, and how reasonable it is to exchange your winnings for the prices they have. The best part is that you can save your points you receive from exchanging your winnings for a later visit. The other arcades like this that we've visited does not do that."

Chuck E. Cheese

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (16) • $$

"Nicest Chuck e Cheese I've been to. Flew into Vegas on Saturday. Have the Silver pass and found a local Chuck E. Cheese so my son could play and I could rest for an hour. All the games are brand new and the facility is super clean. Will definitely be back next time we're in town. Would recommend."

Level Up

★★★☆☆ 3 (122) • $$

"Not sure what to expect, we stayed foe the 80's band. Had me dancing in no time. Of course I am a total sucker for the 80's. Nightline, the band for the evening, was captivating. Would see them all the time if I had I the opportunity. Lovvveee"

Kiss By Monster Mini Golf

★★★★★ 4.6 (363)

"If you want to rock and roll all day and party every night then maybe Kiss Monster mini golf is for you. Kiss by Monster Mini Golf is located in the Rio Hotel Casino. It's a Kiss themed 18 hole, indoor, glow in the dark rock and roll adventure. It doesn't cost much and we thought it was something different and lots of fun. The only down side is that there isn't enough room to wait for courses when things back up. It's also only a few dollars more to see the Gene Simmons Museum that is right there that is large and interesting and I was told always changing."

Fun Dungeon

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (88)

"" Like a baseball field, wanna hit a home run " says R. Kelly Had an early dinner with one of my Vegas friends and we decided to check out the arcade while passing through the Excalibur . I don't think this arcade has been maintained since it opened in the 80's, but it still brought back fun memories from my childhood. This arcade has tons of carnival games, prizes & is home to the Tournament Of Kings show.None of the games takes quarters or cash. You need to go to the game card kiosk and get a prepaid card. Do not take these games lightly. I think I ended up losing more money down here than upstairs at the casino. I was on a mission to win my friend a stuffed animal. Of course little Timmy decides to steal my thunder and beat me at the game where you roll the ball into the colored Circles which moves the horses depending on the color you make it in. Strike one. Off to the next game. I tried the water gun where you hit the bullseye to move the ship up. This time some kid (Dylan I think) got first place. Someone get these kids out of here. WTH!My last chance was the basketball game. All I needed was three in a row. Bingo! I did it . In only took me 11 chances and $36 dollars but I got the stuffed animal and she was happy. There is also a DQ down here with a comfortable seating area .All in all it's a great place to keep the kiddos busy for a couple hours, and even us big kids who need a break from the casino floor."

Cyber Quest at Sunset Station

★★★★☆ 4.3 (23)

"Small arcade, even by kid standards. Giant pile of trash and boxes in one corner while another had piles of all kinds of stuff.Kiddo was bored and done with the 3 games they liked after 15 mins."

Bourbon Street Sports Bar

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (66) • $$

"Bourbon Street is a cool concept with unfortunate execution, leaving the place feeling rather dreary and unappealing. My friend and I decided to stop in for a beer or two before heading out to the strip. We were driving by and thought we'd give it a try. When we approached the door, we had to wait a bit to be "buzzed" in, which we thought was odd but since we aren't from the area, we thought maybe it was normal. Upon entering, we remarked how dark the place felt and noticed that there was only one other customer present- a gentleman who was seated at the gambling machines. Somewhat concerned by the lack of clientele on a weekend night, we decided to check out the menu. The young lady that helped us was very upbeat and made us feel welcome right away. She made some recommendations from the menu and explained to us how their tokens work (getting beer with token purchases or getting tokens with beer purchases). They are cash only which was kind of surprising, but the beer was reasonably priced and the tokens sounded fun so we ordered a couple, got our tokens and started playing the games. They have a decent variety of games ranging from basketball to pool to beer pong to shooters. They are a bit expensive, to be honest, with many costing 6-8 tokens for a single play. This is particularly so given that the tickets earned in the games can merely be redeemed for an assortment of Mardi Gras-like beads. With all of that said, the price we paid for the beer and games we felt was overall reasonable. I also ordered the fried pickles and they were very very unappealing. The batter was far too thick, the pickle within was bland and soggy and the grease was old/clearly used to fry everything as they tasted "meaty". I left them on the counter where I was served (having not seen a trash can) and a lady (not the same one who helped us at the bar) quite rudly asked if I meant to leave them there. It was at this point that we decided to leave.While the couches near the big TVs were nice, I'll also add that the decor was quite odd, which didn't make the place feel comfortable to begin with. Overall this place has great potential as the concept really is a good one. That said, subpar food, odd decor and a mixed bag of employees (some great and some rude) likely points to the reason only one customer was present throughout our time here. Would definitely consider coming back for another try, but for now 3 stars."

The Big Apple Coaster and Arcade

★★★★☆ 3.5 (568)

"When it was announced we were doing our company meeting in Vegas I knew I would make time to ride the rollercoaster at the New York New York hotel! Once you purchase your ticket, you will walk through the arcade, and in the back is the rollercoaster entrance. No phones are allowed so they do offer complimentary lockers (PIN code to lock) to place all of your belongings prior to getting on the rollercoaster. Please note that majority of the ride is outside so if it's cold you def want to keep your jacket on (lesson learned). I know I enjoyed myself and after some arm bending I know my teammates enjoyed themselves!"

Desert Amusement

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"Love these guys! They are great to work with. Thank you for the services and punctuality!"

Pac - Man Zone

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Loacted on the 1st floor of the Galleria Mall the location is easy to find. There is plenty of parking available. The staff was very professional and could be observed sanitizing machines throughout our entire visit. Masks are required and social distancing is enforced. There are games for everyone from your littlest kid up to adult, everyone is sure to find a game they enjoy playing. Upon entering you can refill or purchase a card to load. The prices are very reasonable. Once loaded we were off to play. Our littles and teen were kept occupied for about 45 minutes without complaining ! We had fun taking pictures in the photo booth and winning a stuffed animal before redeeming our points. We will definitely return."

Claw Joyland

★★★★☆ 4.4 (46)

"We came across this place after a brunch nearby and decided to pop in. $1 per play, and they have super cute plushies and friendly staff. They have plenty of machine to exchange your money from cash/card to their token to play. They even offer membership if you live in the area. We go some plushies for our kids and ourselves and they provide a cute plastic bag to hold all your stuffies as you walk out. They also gave my kids keychains! How adorable! The staff here goes above and beyond to make your time here memorable. They helped us take a family picture with all of our plushies and it was so cute! Thank you! We'd definitely come back and play again when we're back in the area."

Claw Planet

★★★★★ 4.7 (133)

"We've brought our kiddos here multiple times now, and I shall say this is our favorite claw arcade to go to.They are located off of S. Eastern in the same shopping center as Somi Somi.The workers are always so friendly and helpful. They're constantly wiping down their machines. We enjoy that they have stamp cards that accumulate stamps with every $20 you spend. Once you fill up nine stamps. You get 20 free tokens. My kids enjoy the options of plushies in their machine, and enjoy exchanging it for the price options they offer."
