    Clean, great prize options, and excellent customer service. 5/5 Newly opened. We split a $20 basket of tokens amongst two families with toddlers. It stretched far. Games are 100% winnable and they even gave tips while we were playing to ensure we won a prize. More importantly the owners were so nice and kind to the children; really celebrated their wins on the claw machines. Prizes include snacks, legos, and adorable plushies. 5/5 Children had a great time and as a family we had so much fun. There is also a Photo Booth section with a wide array of props. If you're in this area and looking for something fun to do check this local establishment out!

    Newly opened claw machine heaven for all ages. 60 vending machines and a Photo Booth. Each aisle has a theme like snacks, drinks, plushies, trading cards, etc. The staff are super nice and helpful. If they see a child is struggling, they will position the item higher at an angle. We got a pencil case but didn't like the one we got, they were gracious enough to let us swap for another one. In the end, we spent a few $20 for 23 tokens and each machine takes about 1 token. Even with multiple tries, both of our kiddos got a backpack full of plushies.

    "We had an amazing time here. The place is so much fun, and the owner is genuinely kind and always full of positive energy. It's rare to find a spot that feels this welcoming. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in Vegas and want to try a great claw machine experience on top of it they will help you win

    What a fun time! Randomly came across Catching Ducks while grabbing food at the food hall in the lot across. Looked it up and saw that it was a claw machine arcade and had to stop by! It was a Sunday night, and they were still in the middle of doing their soft opening, so it was empty when we got there. There was a good selection of plushies to win, plus Asian snacks that you could grab in the games. What my cousins and I were really interested in was the photobooth in the back. We basically used all the cash we exchanged for coins to use that, and didn't do any of the claw machines. The photobooth was cute! There was a station with props that you could use, and it was in a separate room with curtains with plenty of room to move around and get your pose on! My cousins and I had such a good time! We also really liked that you could pick and choose your pictures, and didn't have to stick with the very first ones you took. The arcade was clean, bright, and the one employee working that night was super friendly and helpful! Definitely recommend stopping by if you like claw machine games/plushies, or have children who enjoy playing!

    Booked a party room last minute for my teens 13th bday. the owners were kind and accommodating allowing us to come early to set up the room. from the littles to the teens (and adults) they all had a blast and lots of prizes won.

    Beautiful and clean claw machine place with a very unique assortment of claw games. Everything from beverages, to snacks, and plushies. The lady operating the business was very friendly. There are also restrooms on site which were clean and modern. My problem is that this place absolutely felt like a cash grab. We've been to other claw places where it's fairly easy to win. This place, however, is extremely difficult to ever win. $23 worth of tokens and we walked away with one bag of chips. It's very easy to get the claw to pick up items, but then it sways rather violently, immediately dropping the item you successfully picked up - leaving you empty handed. I've posted a video showing this. Complete waste of money. I would've rather gambled on penny slots at a local casino tbh.

    My son killing' it!

    I've taken my son all over the valley to find the best claw arcade, we are confident that we found it at Catching Ducks. We were eating next door and happen to find this gem after eating. The owner was very nice and welcoming. Service was great - love how each play was one coin as well. This will be our new place going forward and you should make it yours too! They even have a Photo Booth to change things up. Perfect date spot imo!

    Catching Ducks is the newest claw/crane arcade to appear in the Las Vegas area, located just behind the popular Cheongdam food hall, by Desert Breeze Park. Unfortunately there's no ducks to catch but their name definitely caught some attention ! Never had i ever had much luck with these kind of games but I still wanted to check out the new establishment. They have 60 machines filled with drinks, snacks, ramen, and various stuffed animals and toys. There's also a photo booth in the back corner "room" with seemingly another one to come next to it soon, as well. I had been to a variety of arcades with claw machine, mainly places like Round 1 in California and even Japan but as previously said, i know my own lack of skill so I don't play them much. And to that thought, I had won nothing, meanwhile 2 of my friends were winning things left and right. There are a variety of asian drinks, snacks, ramen and noodles as well as nicer looking stuffed animals that don't looked deformed from packaging like some other places. Great idea to grab some din din at Cheongdam and walk to the building behind to check this place and try your hand at some claw machines !

    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!

    I've been to Catching Ducks a few times with my wife, and it's always a fun experience. The staff is super friendly and always willing to help if we're having trouble. They even let us swap out prizes if we catch something we didn't want, and they'll rearrange the machine to make certain prizes easier to grab if you ask. There's a great mix of plushies and Japanese snack themed prizes, though we usually go for the plushies. Like most claw machines, the strength can vary, but we almost never leave empty handed. Bonus tip: if you bring a receipt from the nearby food hall, you can score some extra tokens!

    Went to eat at the food hall just a car turn away. We bumped into "Catching Ducks" on our way to the trash can located outside of this lovely establishment. The three of us in the car LOVE claw machines! We just had to check it out! We met the kind and beautiful owner! Too bad I didn't catch her name:( but she was so helpful and sweet. I absolutely love her motto "to have fun and not worry about the winnings!" We only put in $20 and we won a good amount of things:) i posted a picture of our winnings! Every machine is only 1 token and 1 token is $1 . If you spend $20, you get an extra 3 tokens:) ALSO if you ate at the food hall before coming here, *save your receipt and show it to them* You get 3 extra tokens!! You are able to get any stuff animal in the machine and are able to swap out any stuff animal inside the same machine:) i love that perk! Overall, 10/10!! Amazing customer service! We had so much fun! And the place is beautiful:) definitely will be coming back! Everyone check it out!

    We took home the best of the best of our haul!

    Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures because the Big Apple Coaster has a very strict…read moreno-loose-items policy. They won't allow you to bring your phone or anything else in your pockets onto the ride. Staff actually check before you board, and if you have anything on you, they'll send you back to put it away. Luckily, there are lockers nearby for around $1, so storing your belongings is quick, easy, and inexpensive. We visited on a Friday night and purposely waited until it was dark so we could enjoy the views of the Las Vegas Strip while riding. We had purchased our tickets online ahead of time, which I highly recommend because it allowed us to skip the ticket line. Once inside New York-New York, the coaster was easy to find, and we only waited about 30 minutes to ride. As a plus-size woman, I was happy to find that I fit comfortably on the ride, which is always something I appreciate knowing before visiting an amusement attraction. It was over 100°F outside the night we rode, so flying through the loops, twists, and huge drops while getting blasted with warm desert air made for a pretty wild experience! I'll admit, I was a little terrified--the drops are much bigger than I expected, and I rode a good portion of it with my eyes closed. The ride itself is fairly short, but it's packed with excitement from start to finish. My teenager absolutely loved it, and even though it scared me a bit, I'm really glad we did it. If you're visiting Las Vegas with kids or teens, I'd definitely recommend adding the Big Apple Coaster to your itinerary.

I felt like I was traveling at light speed in a shoe box while pummeled with hockey sticks. What can you get for $25 in Las Vegas these days...? ...a hearty, calorie-dense breakfast sandwich (like a sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit) at Eggslut in the Cosmopolitan... a classic Las Vegas souvenir t-shirt, a deck of commemorative casino playing cards... two pints of Guinness at Nine Fine Irishmen (New York New York) ... a $25 "gourmet" cheeseburger at various resorts and restaurants... ...OR a ride on The Roller Coaster at New York-New York, first launched in 1997 as The Manhattan Express, then named The Big Apple Coaster, and still sort of popular... mostly with Vegas virgins. There was confusion about storing our valuables... lockers, secret codes... You buy a ticket, get in line and then are told you should probably store your valuables in a locker, which you have to find and master the process for renting , opening and storing. [Tuesday midday] Short line was nice... we were with a couple of nervous teenagers there for the first time - their mom and aunt watching and waiting... Once on board, make sure to lock the seat bar down as far as you can onto you legs (more about that in a moment). Our midday experience thrust us into the blinding July summer sun blazing down upon us as we climbed to the top of the first summit - we tried to shield our eyes but it did nothing for the mounting heat that had me sweating by the top of ... THE FIRST DROP... (let your breath out slowing as you go...), then another and then you're thrown into a FULL LOOP where the centrifugal force shoves you into a pile of goo in your seat, followed by a little CORKSCREW-BARREL-ROLL maneuver and by the time you've caught your breath you hit a series of little up and down gut-sloshing, ass-smashing moves. Next thing you know, you're hurled left, then right - or maybe right then left - and up a little hill then into a CYCLONIC FUNNEL in a downward decent where you think you're done but then you hit a couple of parking lot speed bumps at maximum speed (more ass-banging) before you enter a dark tunnel where you think, "Oh God, what's next," but you get a quick glimpse into the casino right before the ride ends. Definitely a value (albeit it a different one) to the $25 cheeseburger, and more memorable than a t-shirt, just don't eat the burger before you board.
