Raquel H.

So. I came in yesterday with my kid. I gave a total of 2 stars . Place was clean and very bright ! And the other star is for the attendant who was courteous and really wanted my kid to walk away with something. She assisted a few claw machines that she was putting her hard earned tokens in to try and win. But unfortunately, we walked away with nothing. There were several machines that DO NOT grasp closed after you pick up a toy. What really sucked is as the claw after the claw has gone down , as it comes up , it smacks the top so hard (so if you even had a toy in the claw grasp, well its probably getting knocked outta your grip.) Mind you we were only going for the stuffed animals, some were big and they could have not weighed more than an ounce or 2. We were not even going for the Labubu boxes which cost 4 - 5 tokens. And after examining the machines a bit more, I saw that the machines that did contain them (well the claws do not have the rubber grip on them) so you know what that means, when you try to grab a box, it will slide right out of your grip. Will not be coming back here. I'd rather spend my money at the claw locations that are outside of china town, where kids can walk away with at least 1 item.

This place was a pretty typical claw place with lots of interesting options but I did find it particularly hard to get items as it seems that some of the machines have almost no grip. I did appreciate the trade in options as we traded in two stuffies for a crochet rose. I also enjoyed the decor and how you could just get 10 tokens for a quick game versus being forced into 20.

Bright, fun, and quick after dinner activity. For $10 I would say we had a quick good time, we did win two stuffies with 10 tries I would say some of the claws did not have a good grip but we stoll had fun. We also were able to trade the two stuffies for a crochet flower which was a nice exchange for adults who like to play claw machines but dont need stuffed animals. There was a variety of differnt stuffed animals and even thought some were clearly knock offs they were still super soft and recognizable.

Cute plushies! Great quality and great customer service

Worker here was so fun nice and kind. Helped us set the right toys we wanted. Took a pic for us and reasonable difficulty! Quality of toys was unique and cute! Great claw store

A fun side quest on our vacation! It wasn't too busy and lots of different plushies to try for. The staff was hella cool and helped rearrange the inside so we could get a chance to try for the specific plushies that we wanted. I suck at claw machines but was able to get one prize, but I saw another guy win a few. If you like arcade games, this one is for you!

Impossible to use the machines because they have them set too loose go somewhere else.

Dont expect to get rich here, you are paying for the fun and the dopmine hits. The claw machines are decent, some more easy than others. Some times it gets frustrating. The store is very busy. We enjoyed our time but ended up getting a large stuffy for about $200 lol. Fun for the kids and can be exciting. The staff were nice. The store is clean.

Very cute inside

This is a great find if you love trying your luck at claw games!! We happened across it on our way to dinner at our favorite nearby restaurant. The interior is clean and well kept, and the staff are helpful and friendly. You need to use one of their token machines to purchase tokens which you can then use in the machines. There are some added extras that put this business a cut above other claw game places. First, you can trade in a prize you won but that you don't really want and earn a point. You can then save up the points for a different prize! This means you can try your luck at grabbing a prize that seems easy to get even if you don't really want to keep it. Second, I recommend their VIP membership which they're selling now for a one time price of $19.99. This grants you five free tokens every month with more during your birthday month and at other random times when they send you an offer for more free tokens. You also get a slight discount on the point cost of some of the prizes you trade in for. You also get a "stamp" (a virtual stamp in your account) each time you buy $20 worth of tokens. You can save up these stamps for additional free tokens. These extras really set Claw Joyland above the rest! I recommend it!!

Spacious. Somewhat generous with their prizes. Love that the whole place will light up when someone wins a prize. Tokens are ok for the price paid. A little bonus when you pay a little more.

Tan P.

This place is well ran with good customer service. The arcade is clean and lots of selections. The arcade itself is a little small compared to other locations in Las Vegas. The pricing is reasonable and parking is easy since it's in a shopping center. It's a bit out of the way from the Strip, but not much traffic considering you are driving west. The game selection was also good for the arcade size.

April P.

Had a lot of fun!! I did better than I expected! There are a lot of flashing strobe-like lights to be aware of but still a lot of fun

Ella S.

Nice area to bring the kids while getting boba or treats at the nearby area. They have nice selection of plushies. The games cost 1 coin per game, you can use cash or card or tap to pay for the coins. You can also exchange your plushies to a bigger plushie. Service was nice attendant was nice and attentive will offer a bag for the plushies. Definitely will be back.

Aloun S.

They got very nice, cool toys in all.Type of game , including some toys that I grew up with , since I was young hotspot

Cute ambiance
Bre F.

Stumbled upon this place while visiting our favorite restaurants.... It definitely draws you in. Super cute ambiance, lots of flashing lights, clean and colorful. Tokens are reasonable, $10 minimum for 10 tokens, each machine takes 1 token/ play. It was fun but don't expect to win anything. Claws seem really loose but you will have lots of laughs. Customer service could be better, the person working there just stares at you and doesn't say anything so it's a bit uncomfortable. A nice "hey welcome in" or "have a good day" at least would have been nice.

The games were older; some classics. Good represent action of Japanese games, rhythm games, shooters, some carnival classics like basketball and speedball. Some games were in Japanese only so we were a bit lost on all the functionality or options in the games. There aren't many brand new games, but I think that's because new arcade games aren't being produced anymore like they used to be. Expect some of the bugger name older classics. The player 1 gun of Time Crisis aim alignment is completely off which made it feel like lost time playing a broken game. I was probably mist excited to play that. Wish there were more coop beat em up classics like Turtles In Time or the XMen games. It was OK. Likely won't be back but I don't think they're catering to my demographic seeking nostalgia entertainment. I applaud them for being in what I think is a tough business keeping an out of fashion nostalgic relic alive. I wish I had more reasons to return and support the business.

They had a bar upstairs and downstairs and had high boys and stools for the area upstairs. The setup was pretty amazing (on the ground floor) with a huge screen and stage for the competitors to play and be projected on. In the back, they had computer/gaming chairs with monitors/computers set up and people gaming. They had plenty of restrooms available on both floors, too. Honestly one of the better kid friendly venues on the Strip. I'd definitely come back to enjoy some gaming time here.

I went with a Las Vegas local so the prices were admittedly lower than usual, but I still thought the general admission price was reasonable too.

I also appreciated the fabulous view of the Las Vegas skyline and mountain ranges in the distance. They checked our harnesses twice before the ride began, so it seemed like they were committed to making the ride safe and enjoyable for all. There are convenient lockers to store bags, phones, wallets, keys, etc in and they were a good price ($1). What a fun thing to do while in Vegas! I'd highly recommend it.

First time I ever rode it, I didn't know what I was signing up for. You hear that slow click... click... click as you climb, thinking, "Alright, how bad could this be?" Then it drops and suddenly you're questioning every life decision that led you to that seat. It's fast, it feels a little wild, almost rickety like it might toss you into the Vegas skyline, and I wasn't ready for it. Not even close. But man... what a trip. And here's the thing that ride became more than just a thrill. One of the last trips I ever took with my dad, we rode that coaster together. I didn't know at the time he was sick... didn't know he had cancer. He never told me. But I remember that ride clear as day. I was focused on grabbing one of those little souvenir keychains after, something simple. He had other plans wanted the bigger photo, something we could hold onto. At the time, I didn't think much of it. Now? That picture means everything. So every time I go back to Vegas, I ride it. No questions asked. It's tradition. And for something that looks compact tucked into the Strip, this thing punches way above its weight. It hits speeds around 67 mph, throws you through a full loop and a barrel roll, and pulls enough G-force to make you feel like a fighter pilot for a few seconds. It's one of the few coasters right on a major city strip like this, and it doesn't hold back. By the time you step off, your legs are a little shaky, your stomach's doing a reset, and yeah you're probably ready to eat something. Quick tip: don't ride it at the end of a long night. Either go in fresh or give yourself some buffer after eating. This one's got some bite. I'll be honest it's not about chasing thrills like I used to. I'm not some hardcore coaster guy. But this? This is different. This is memory, adrenaline, and tradition all wrapped into one loud, fast, unforgettable ride above Las Vegas. Ride it once for the thrill. Ride it again for the ones you remember.
