    Nest Arcade is such a fun vibe!! I came here over the weekend on a short trip to Las Vegas. This location is off the strip and located within China Town. It's a small location, but packed with many unique and old school games. I loved the play by the hour option - only $12 an hour. They also have other pricing options too. The staff were friendly and they even have a cafe with yummy food items as well as boba drinks. This was a really fun find and I'm excited to go back when I visit Vegas next!

    Fantastic selection of Japanese and English rare and mainstream arcade games. Good change of pace for our 7&9 yr old for our trip to Vegas. Very affordable hourly rate

    New arcade next to Cosmic Fluff they are not crowded yet maybe it was weekday when we went. They do have a small cafe inside very convenient so if you want to eat and play. Parking is limited.

    The Game Nest Arcade is located in Chinatown and is a great family friendly activity off The Strip. We opted for the $12 pass, which gets you an hour of unlimited game play (select games excluded). The wall art is top tier - there's Godzilla, One Punch Man, and Transformers. This was a cute arcade, overall!

    Game Nest Arcade is a gem in Chinatown Las Vegas! Even though some of the games are straight from Japan (and can be a little tricky to figure out at first), it just adds to the charm and makes you feel like you've stepped into a real Japanese arcade. They've got a wide variety of newer games, so there's always something different to try, and the atmosphere makes it fun no matter what you play. Whether you're competing with friends or just hanging out, it's a great spot to spend some time. Bonus points, they also serve food, so you don't have to leave when you get hungry. Games, snacks, and good vibes all in one place. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! look for the secret door. I honestly thought it was just a photo opportunity until someone pointed it out. Let's just say it adds another layer of fun to the whole place.

    Great arcade to hang out in! My friends and I were finding a place in the area to spend an hour in, and we stumbled across this venue. It's got a whole bunch of Japanese arcade games, some classics like skeeball and basketball, and an area to buy snacks and drinks. I HIGHLY recommend the $12 for 1 hour option for the best bang for your buck, especially if you suck at those arcade games where "if you die, you have to insert more tokens, but you suck so you die every minute". The only problem with this option is once you scan the card, you cannot re-scan the card for another minute.

    It was our first time at this arcade. Their rates are actually affordable and to me is worth it we purchased the $12 card for an hour just for games and got the $33 for 185 credits. They do charge $1 for card activation so keep ur cards next time. This place is a good size arcade they had lots or games not too much games for credits maybe less than 10 games They also had a cafe with great prices. Their restrooms were clean when I used it 3 stalls no baby changing pad no napkins to wipe your hands just a hand dryer. A cool thing I discovered was a secret door from one side of the arcade to the other. But I won't tell where it is you can go and find out.

    Large arcade with pay-by-the-hour pricing ($12 per hour) and a huge variety of games. The hourly pass covers almost everything except the claw machines, which are separate. Lots of Japanese arcade games make it feel unique and fun. There's also a small cafe inside for snacks and drinks. Overall, a really fun experience, definitely worth checking out!

    $12 for an hour of games. So affordable and fun for the kids. I also had fun playing a few games I played from my childhood

    Aubrey L.

    Wonderful experience! It's so fun l, $12 for an hour of unlimited games except for the claw machines. It wasn't even super packed. Had so much fun and definitely recommend if you're looking for something easy and fun to do in Vegas

    Game Nest Arcade is a great place to hang out if you like arcades in general. While it's no Round 1, I certainly enjoyed my time here. Walking in, you can get a game card that you can pay for credits based on how much you pay or you can pay hourly for unlimited games. Depending on how long you stay, I think it's better if you pay for credits. There's a lot more niche Japanese arcade games that you may have seen at conventions or at other arcades, mainly the music game selection, Initial D/Wangan Midnight cabs, Gundam VS cabs, Densha De Go, or even the claw machines. It's a lot of fun if you have seen people play them but there is something for everyone. I spent about two hours there but I'd probably stay more if I didnt have a flight that day. What I really found cool is the cards are tap to play so it's a feature I wish more places have. Parking can be a pain to find but I believe theres more parking in the plaza right next to it. Check it out if you like rhythm games!

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.

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.
