Player 1 Video Game Bar

Love this spot. $6 for NV locals, with unlimited in and outs all day.We came on Halloween and all the bartenders were dressed in cute sexy costumes.All the games are free, but my favorite part are all the couches with console games. My husband has an injured leg right now, so there's not much we can do in Vegas besides Player One since he can sit and play.We're going again today and I realized I didn't leave a review, so here it is!

This place is amazing! Brought my dad and brothers to relive our childhood and it worked perfectly! I still got destroyed by them. Very nostalgic. Mario kart aside, we all found games from our childhood and had an absolute blast!The drink selection is phenomenal! If you're a coors drinker, beware. They don't carry domestics, but the bartenders are very knowledgeable in their trade/stock and are beyond happy to help you find a perfect substitute.Albeit, they do carry snacks, they are not a restaurant. Don't come here expecting an extravagant meal. However, they do have pizza, hotdogs, pretzels and more! 15/10 recommended and will be bringing more friends and family for more!

First Impression: Small, Dark, Intriguing Location: Corner of the plaza. Plenty of parking. Plaza looked lively, but also dead.Experience: It was $6 a person for unlimited games (that are free). When you walk through the hallway it opens up to a big space filled with all sorts of games. The pinball machines are not included and cost approx .75 each to play. They have a good variety of games that i remember playing while growing up.Bar: There is a bar for drinks. No food. Service was good even though there was only one worker in the back.Note: This Location is 21+ only

$5 or $8 cover charge, I can't remember. But it covers all the game. You can play all of them until they close. All the good games like Mario kart or Tekken is at the bar tho and there is where people crowded at and you have to wait. Plenty of beers on tap, special drinks menu but the drink is so sweet so it was such a waste. Old game are cool but you get bored pretty fast even if you get unlimited try, because the control is kinda weird, not very responsive sometimes. If they have more modern arcade from post 2000, that's probably better.

I came here for a drink with friends, and honestly, I found it a bit boring. I don't think this bar is for everyone, but if you're really into video games, you'll probably love it.

Great Spot for Drinks & Games - Perfect for a Relaxed Evening!On our first night in Vegas, we wanted something a bit more laid-back than the Fremont experience, and Player 1 Arcade was the perfect spot! It's just a short Uber ride from Fremont Street. We got in late, checked into our hotel, and decided to wind down with drinks and some games.When we arrived, it wasn't too busy but had a decent crowd. All the games we tried were in great working condition, and the variety was awesome. They had different generational consoles set up all over, some at tables, others at the bar where you could drink and challenge your friends or even the bartender!The beer selection was impressive, with plenty of local and national drafts, and the mixed drinks were solid, too. For a $10 flat fee, you get to play unlimited games, which made it even better. Drink prices were fair, and we scored some great deals on beers they were trying to move--so definitely ask for specials!The staff was super friendly, from the front counter to the bartenders, and the bathrooms were clean and fresh. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back next time we're in town. Thanks, Player 1 Arcade!

My gamer peeps would probably be better qualified to review Player 1 but as an outsider to the gaming community, I thought this was an amazing concept. The space integrates various settings & scenarios where one could possibly game -- at an old school arcade, at a bar, in the man cave of some rich, eccentric friend whose collected retro pinball machines, on your comfiest recliner with every console imaginable.We visited with a couple video game aficionados & while they expertly navigated the ins & outs of Player 1 (did they just challenge total strangers at the bar?!), we stuck to anything that looked vaguely familiar -- Pac Man, Super Mario, Space Invaders, racing & shooting games I don't know the names of.No need for tokens; $8 cover charge ($5 for locals) buys you unlimited game access. An arcade full of noisy kids & teens sounds like actual torture but Player 1 is a 21+ over establishment with an impressive beer selection & attentive bartenders. What Big Kid wouldn't love that?

Great place to experience many of the classics from the golden age of arcade games and pinball machines. Also, the entire evolution of game consoles from the beginning of time.There are 50 craft beers on tap, and even more in cans. I started out with one of their beer mixes, Kong's Chocolate Banana. This is a draft blend of Well's Banana Bread Beer and Rogue Nitro Chocolate Stout. Next, I enjoyed a 16-ounce can of Irie Jungle 2023, which is an IPA collaboration between Tripping Animals Brewing Co. (Doral, FL) and Hop Revolution (New Zealand). It's 10% alcohol by volume was not lost on me.The two or three bartenders were spread thin--similar to the arcade classics, Tapper and Root Beer Tapper--but they provide great service.My favorite arcade game has always been Punch Out. I can easily get through all of the guys once, to become champ. After that, they become harder to beat, but I can get twice through all of them if I really work at it. Donkey Kong, Centipede, and Millipede are some of the other classics that I enjoyed.This is a great place to come with a group of friends. Gauntlet is a classic that four people can play simultaneously, cooperating through the progressively challenging mazes.What I don't understand about this place is that only some of the arcade games have drink holders. Why not all of them? Consequently, you have to set your drink on the ground for many of the arcade games.

We came in as a group activity with my man's co-workers. I hadn't done any research into this place other than being told it was a bar where you can play arcade games so I was a bit shocked and annoyed at the $5 cover. However, upon entering the establishment, I think the $5 is very much worth it. The person who we paid at the entrance was super informative and very nice. She allowed us to store our leftovers and we picked them back up when we left for the night. Super easy and I very much appreciated this. The bartenders were also very attentive and courteous. I'm not a big gamer but my hubs and his co-workers are so this place was like a playland for them. I was most interested in the pinball machines but those cost money. I wish they were a bit cheaper but my extra $5 went to good use. There were also more old school games I wanted to play on the old tube TVs but most of them were out of order. This is why I gave 4 instead of 5, a lot of the games we were most excited to play were out of order.The place is dark and loud but I think that ambiance is exactly what's needed for a place like this. You can get a bit rowdy playing games and not be shushed. There is an extensive drink menu, especially beers and there are some bar food options. We didn't eat but we watched people eat and not going to lie, the food actually looked delicious. We'll find out next time if it is or not. Can't wait to come back in and hopefully more games will be available.

First, loved the name. I am visiting from LA. And the place was just a really good vibe. I was trying to find a good place to feel the local area. Wanted to see what else I'd be interested in going to when I was done with the strip. Everyone was nice. The bartenders were on it. The girl at the front wore a Kairi cosplay. Everyone was friendly. I loved that at the bar you could play and drink. That was fun. The food was good for the price that was charged as well as the drinks. Loved the selection. I probably would've stayed longer there if I had the soju.
