Virtual Reality - MGM Grand

Every year we go to Vegas we have to sop by and play the VR games because this place is one of the best. Sandbox is fun, but you're in a small room standing in place and it's easy to hit your friends as you're swinging your gun around. Zero Latency is so much better because you're in a large room where you can walk around and explore the environments. It's located next to the Level Up bar at the counter where the arcade games are We tried the zombie killing games in the past and those are awesome. This time we tried Engineerium which is a mind trip. It's funny because the employees tell their customers it's more for kids, but we tried it and we found it terrifying and awesome. We also tried the pirate game and luckily there was a couple of other guys who joined our party, so we were in the same room and had to split into teams. The guys were worried because we were experienced and one of them said, "We're gonna win,or we're gonna be embarrassed by these ladies." I wanted him to feel better, so I told him, "You don't play these games to win. You play these games to kill." I guess that did the trick because even though I got the high score, we all had fun working together to smoke some pirates. This is always a blast and it's our favorite thing to do in Las Vegas, so if you're on the fence, I recommend giving it a try. So fun!You don't have to be in great shape to play this, but you will sweat from all the low impact activity. Make sure you have closed toe shoes so you don't slipout of your shoes as you're exploring. They have lockers for free for you to use so that you can store your stuff safely. And if theymake you wait because others who have made a reservation are late, they might give you some credits to play the arcade games as you wait. Excellent service.

My friend loves doing some type of Virtual Reality game when we are in Vegas so I looked this up on Yelp and found this place in the MGM Grand Hotel. I booked everything on their website and you just show up for your appointment time. The time I picked was during the afternoon and we were the only ones playing. We picked the zombie one and by the end of the game, we were super tired from holding the guns. After a while, it becomes super heavy! But during the entire game, it was pretty fun! The only thing I have to say is that they don't have a saved video recording of your game. Which some of these stores have. I was kind of bummed that we didn't have the gameplay for our game. But if you don't mind that part you should still check this place out. It is a workout for sure!

Signed up the Dads to kill some zombies. Virtually. Hilarious. U could hear them yelling like they were in a war zone. They were all proud of their kills and came out smiling and sweaty. Note: the kids played the day before and were also laughing, smiling, and NOT sweaty. If you are under age expect to have an adult sit in on the 30 min session for liability purposes. It's fine, they have cushioned seats and they allowed me to video the kids session. Teens liked the multiplelevels, scaling walls, going on ramps, a little vertigo, and more that needed clearing. Dads liked the complexity of the Undead Arena VR zombie challenge focusing on kill counts. There are two zombie options. Pirates might be a little more complicated than the zombie Outbreak. Our three groups liked it so much we booked 4 sessions back to back. Would come back again.

One thing incredible about Virtual Reality is that you're transported into an entirely new dimension where everything you see around you feel so real, and that is insane! Given how advanced technology is, I wanted a new experience and found Virtual Reality at the MGM Grand. It was odd they're not on Yelp, so I spoke with Aiden to confirm their hours. They're open everyday from 11am to 7pm.The venue is actually located on the same floor as Level Up. Currently there are 6 virtual reality experiences being offered and you can view the package details on the MGM Grand website. Price is $50 per person for approximately 30 minutes of game time. It's best to make online reservation ahead so you're guaranteed a spot! The last game is at 5:30pm. They do recommend to arrive 30 minutes early to purchase your ticket. If you don't show up, they will cancel. There is a restroom nearby and complimentary lockers to secure your belongings. I chose Singularity at 4:30pm. This is a more advanced gaming experience where you're in a space station fighting off killer robots. You'll be given instructions about your mission and how to safely use the equipment. They place you in a 2,000 square foot room where you're able roam free all the while immersing yourself into the game. For beginners, if you're not sure what to do, ask for help. Believe me, it was intense! Aiden has been a tremendous guide throughout this experience. I died about 15 times and I still won the game! At the end, the scores are saved and they will email your stats. It was definitely a sweaty workout but all worthwhile! I had a lot of fun and can't wait try the others! The customer service I received from Aiden and Mark is exceptionally awesome! They are courteous, polite, extremely knowledgeable, very helpful in answering questions and providing guidance throughout the process. As for parking, there's ample space at the MGM Grand Underground. I parked on the 3rd floor and it took me about 10 minutes to get to the venue. For Nevada local residents, when you submit your parking ticket and scan your ID at the exit, you get up to 3 hours of free parking, and then it's $12 at 4 hours. There's a sign that shows pricing so plan accordingly!

OMG sooo MUCH FUN!! It is difficult entertaining super cool teenagers, if you know what I mean, and mine had an absolute blast! Hubble who is not a gamer...said he it was way more enjoyable than he anticipated!! We did both of the zombie VR sessions and they were both great!! We had so many lol moments mixed in with the occasional death scream when we were jump scared. Quick learning curve for us older folks (40 yo) but we caught up quick and by the end we were kicking serious butt!! Such a good family function. We worked together as a team, saving each others lives and scoring major points! This should be advertised for team building!! We couldn't stop talking about it for the last hour! TIP: 30 min goes fast killing zombies! We booked two back to back sessions and it was perfect!! We were thirsty, sweaty and throughly entertained when we were done!will be doing this again and again when we come to Vegas!!

After some time I finally got the charge to reflect $50 instead of $100. Took way longer than it should but I got my money back finally. The process for a refund was brutal and annoying. I lost funds to be able to use on my trip and time since the funds was waiting for refund back to my CC. The refund process took forever. Now, the experience for the first game was dope and I would do it again. The second game was lagging and sound was not working which is why we said just refund us as we were not going to pay for that experience. We will attempt another time at a local spot near us. I would try this place out, staff not the friendliest when you're reporting an issue. Of course since it is not their $50 to play game that is suppose to sound and work correctly. Either way, enjoy and hope you guys have a better experience. Cheers!

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.

Bar with pool tables at the MGM next to the sports book. No more quarters? Use this virtual card - for $20 plus $1 charge to even get the fing card - $21 and pool table doesn't work - hey refund my $21 of sorry we don't do that you have to walk to New York New York to do that - sorry we have nothing to do with that. Get the manager - how long will that take? No idea? No one cares - time to dump my Life card and go to downtown ot Cesar's - holy crap un believable. No manager showed holy cra0

The three stars is for the actual gaming part of the experience, which was a lot of fun. The zombie shoot-em up atmosphere was exciting and the levels are designed well.But the design of the VR room is not a great setup. It's right next to a bar/restaurant, and during our gaming session, they had an event and played the music so loud, we could hear it in our room (no padding to insulate the noises inside), even with headsets on, so we couldn't hear each other, so it ruined the experience by not being able to communicate. Customer service could be better. While our handler inside the room was good, the members outside were more difficult to deal with. It was like pulling teeth to ask them for any compensation for not getting the full experience due to the adjacent event. They even blamed us for not stopping the simulation sooner because of this. Again, the gaming portion is solid; it's just nearly everything else associated with it that's frustrating.

I would not recommend this place to friends , family, or anyone. We arrived on time to the desk with our party already inside and waiting for us to start. There was no one at the desk to assist us and when the person at the counter finally showed up, Jah- the employee, refused to work with us. Our party had informed the person inside the arena that they were anticipating our arrival and even radioed Jah to let us go in. Jah said it was too late and if we wanted to go in we could just to watch. He lied that we couldn't participate and could only watch. Our party, once they're were done and out , informed us that the person in the arena was insisting Jah let us in but he did not. This was our first There and we will NOT be returning or recommending it in the near future.
