OMG, a full hour nonstop games do $12? I thought the games were going to be trash, but they were really fun! All the kids had a blast!!! I will recommend this to everyone who loves arcade games! A big shout out to the girl working the front desk... I forgot her name but she was soooo sweet! Helpful in every way and had a smile even though she was doing EVERYTHING! These type of employees are the reasons why customers come back! She deserves a raise! read more

Decided to stop in after seeing this arcade around for awhile. Purchased two hourly passes. Was charged a card fee because I didn't already have a card. Wish that wasn't a hidden fee. 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. read more

My only ask on this vegas trip was to come here and be a kid again! To play all of our childhood games with no distractions for an hour and we did just that. The price increased from $10 to $12 unlimited play per hour plus $1 activation per card. The timer is built into the card, you'll see the remaining time on the screen. Just tap at the machines. Games with prizes such as the claw machines were bought for credits to use as tokens to play. Otherwise the arcade was unlimited per hour. The place wasn't that big but they carried all games from the 80s and on. It was very nostalgic for us all. Be patient as these are original machines that they recycle/refurbished from Japan and are 40-50 years old. Some were slow to start or didn't start at all. The instructions on the screen were in Japanese but you get the point. To maximize your time, come when they open otherwise you'll have fanatics who come and hog the machine all day. I got to be the race car driver, the basketball player, the deejay, dancer, bowler, saving citizens. Got to play games that I wasn't able to as a kid due to resources and played others for the first time. If you're hungry, they sell food and drinks inside their cafe. read more

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! read more

Still super fun as before. Many games to choose from and honestly 1 hour isn't enough for me. Updates: rate is now $12/hr for unlimited play, they charge $1 for the play card. There is a 60 second cool down period before you can swipe again. Crane/claw machines that give you a physical prize to take home are not included within the unlimited play. You can always pay for additional hours later after the first hour since it is a set hourly rate. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Game Nest Arcade - My wife behind an arcade display which doubles as the secret door that ends up in front of their concession stand. - Arcades Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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. read more

Game Nest Arcade - Arcades Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I've been here a couple of times already while in Vegas, looking for things to do. Always a blast and a good way to kill time. Parking is a hassle - sometimes it's hard to find a spot. There are plenty of games, and it's not too expensive ($13 an hour for all you can play). There was also a deal at the time, where after buying an hour, you got a discount on boba at the cafe inside. Will definitely be back whenever I'm in Vegas. read more

This is a Japanese arcade with lots of unique games you won't find at any other arcade places. However, some of the games are completely in Japanese so it may be hard to learn how to play some of them. All of the games are paid by a game card in which there's only 5 tiers of payments: $11, $22, $33, $44, and $110. Each higher tier gives you more bonus credits. You can also opt for the hourly rate of $12. New cards cost an additional $1. Thus, for my crony and I, we paid $23 for 115 credits. What this really means is that it allowed us 18 plays which means you are paying an average of $1.28 to play one game. My personal favorite was the basketball connect four game which I felt was a really cool, but simple take on the classic connect four game. If you like arcade games and are looking for a unique experience, you should really stop by here. read more

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. read more

Absolute deal we took our toddler here and with the hour pass lets him try all types of games. I wish we had this in CA

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! read more

We were recommended this arcade by a friend and post lunch, we stopped by. It's one of the most affordable arcades I have seen with $12 for unlimited games for an hour. They have a wide selection of japanese games and lots of plushies to be won if you choose the option to get credits. It's a nice spot for our group to spend a few hours at and toa void the heat in vegas! read more

Such a cool spot! Been here twice now and it's quickly turning into a must whenever we visit the area. Super reasonable price; I think we paid $12 per person per hour. You definitely spend way more in a traditional arcade than that (at least if you die as quickly in time crisis 4 as I do). Love that there's so much variety. There's racing games, DDR, carnival-type games, and shoot games, truly something for everyone. Everything is in great shape, didn't feel at all like it wasn't being maintained. Some of the games are in Japanese only so potentially can take some time to figure out how to navigate those. One of the best things to do in the city if you want to chill or just kill some time before a flight! read more

We thought this place was such a great find. I went with my nephew and we had such a good time! We ended up spending about 2 hours here and honestly could've stayed longer. There are so many games to enjoy, and the vibe is super fun. We even had an issue with one of our cards not having the correct time, and one of the workers gave us extra time. We'll definitely be stopping by again next time we're in Vegas. read more

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 read more

Game Nest Arcade - Arcades Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

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! read more

What a fun experience! I brought our kids to check out this arcade and we purchased an hour of play time! Almost all of the games were Japanese and the only dock on my stars was for lack of instructions. I wish a few of the games came with instructions because we were completely lost on what to do on those games. But it was a fun and cool time to experience Japanese types of games. read more

Cool place to bring the kids out of the the heat for the afternoon Shane at the Front Desk is very helpful and explains everything and how their system works We chose $10 card that gives you unlimited playing for all games for one hour. (Excluding Claw Games) They have a wide assortment of video games from Mario Cart, Basketball, Bowling , Air Hockey, Dance games and many many others. It's no a huge place but there's plenty of games to keep everyone entertained In addition it looks like they're expanding so in the future there sure to be more fun. They also have claw games with prizes but those have a separate fee - $starting at $11 for 50 credits, $22 for a 115 credits & it continues up to $110 for 777 credits Location is in the back part of the strip mall - parking is decent The facility is clean and safe. Unlike other Arcades you don't win tickets & there are no prizes for playing (other than the claw games) We had a blast & it was a nice break from the heat of summer & a Good Value Again a Big Thanks to Shane Cheers read more

$12 for an hour of arcade games. You can't beat it! Gotta wait for 1 minute in between taps. Would totally bring the kids back

$10 per person for 1 hour of unlimited arcade games? Sign me up! This is the perfect activity if you're looking for something fun to do in Chinatown. The hour flew by so fast but we played a good amount of games and left satisfied. We were actually pretty tired after 1 hour so it was just the perfect amount. The arcade wasn't too crowded when we arrived around 12pm but it started to get busy when we left. I think 1 hour is perfect as there were a decent amount of games but not as much as a Round1 or Dave and Busters. They have a lot of racing games which I love. Overall feels clean and good crowd of people too. read more

A friend recommended this arcade, so of course we had to check it out! We came by at night about 1-2 hours before closing and it was still busy. The parking can get filled up so be prepared to look around or wait for a parking spot. We didn't have to wait long though and it was worth it. It was our first time so we inquired with the employee at the counter. He was really helpful and took the time to explain it all to use. You get a game card and can either pay hourly for unlimited games (claw machines not included) or you can add a specific dollar amount and use it for games and claw machines. It's not a big arcade but its a decent size. What really makes it different is the types of games. There are a lot of specialty games, and classic games. Shooters, rhythm, anime, sports you name it. Then the claw machines. Really cool but we didn't try them as we opted for the hourly game cards with unlimited usage. We'll save the claws for next time lol. We had a ton of fun! Thank you Game Nest Arcade! read more

This place is such a hidden gem in Vegas! Game Nest is located off the strip and features many of the classic arcade games we grew up with and tons of interactive newer ones! For a small fee you can purchase an hour of game time (I think it was $10 per hour) or you can load credits onto a card to play the prize games. I did both, and it was so much fun! They are generally open from noon to midnight and have ample parking available. I definitely recommend you check this place out if you are looking for something to do off the strip. Oh, and the bathrooms were very clean! Which is a plus in my book! read more

This is the best value for money gaming arcade in town. The location isn't close to us and there are nicer looking places, but you simply can't beat $10 for an hour of playing! We've been here a few times and most definitely will be back again, read more

Game Nest Arcade - Arcades Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

It's a nice arcade setup where you can have fun, pass the time, and legally spank some kids at air hockey! They recently opened a cafe, and I decided to try it! I ordered the pizza, wings, moz sticks, and a side of fries, which was surprisingly great Although I came early and was one of the first few customers, the food came out quickly, hot, and cooked perfectly, which isn't something I'd expect from an arcade (at least from my childhood experiences). I'd compare the overall quality of the food to something you'd get from a VGKs hockey game (a few stars above your neighborhood softball game). Simple and quick will always win in my books! Anyway, I would definitely order again! read more

Game Nest Arcade - Won some stuff animals - Arcades Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

My son enjoyed there a lot!! Will take him there again in future. It's just kind of far from strip.

Love this place and the imported games they offer, but friends and I hate going when a certain guy is working (tall with glasses). The guy is rude as hell and makes it feel like we're a bother when trying to pay for game time or claim a prize. Please stop hiring people who hate their job. As a game spot, I'm sure this places attracts some socially awkward individuals.. and imagine coming out of your comfort zone or coming here as a safe space to be treated poorly by the staff when you already struggle with that kind of thing. read more

located in a busy part of spring mountain so you may need to park a bit away from the establishment if the area is crowded fyi. The pricing here is very reasonable compared to similar arcades in the city. What makes game nest stand apart are the unique Japanese games they have that I've never seen before. It can get pretty packed here if coming on the weekend. I really wanted to play air hockey but it was taken the whole time we were there lol. It's worth the experience and I hope when I come back I can try air hockey! read more

Great place to hang out for about an hour and let your gamer vibe out OR great place to have your kids go game wild and play arcade games for a one set price for the hour - if you are a gamer by association then sit down grab some fries and a drink until your table hockey inner self decides to bring on a competition. Parking can be tricky on the weekends but most of the time spots are available. read more

It's been 9 months since my last review, but I wanted to update my review because some things have changed. No more all day passes. Only 1 hour passes now. Also it's way more crowded now. I guess people found out our secret. Some of the machines my kids liked are gone like the Japanese scooter game. Overall it's not quite the value it used to be, but considering inflation, it's still a great value and definitely worth it if you have an hour to kill. Protip: Don't forget to load up your last machine with credits, so you can use one more life after your hour is up. read more

We love coming to Game Nest before dinner as we wait for a reservation, or to have some fun after dinner when no one wants to stop hanging out. It is located on quite a busy center that includes popular restaurants like Nabe, Sunright, 8oz, and Chubby Cattle, so parking can be limited at busier times of day, but you can always find some parking a bit further away if needed. Upon entering you definitely get that Asian arcade feel. You can do 1hr of game play for $10 or $11 dollars (+ $1 for a card to swipe, or bring in your old one to reload) or have the option to pay for credits! Because I don't normally play for prizes and I enjoy the rhythm games, the 1 hr gameplay is our go to! Great deal! I like how they have a variety of racing, rhythm, video, and physical games that you can play. There are also the claw machine type games up front for those wanting prizes, and couches with TVs to rent console time. Some individual and some group games are scattered around as well! If you wander around you'll notice areas that can lead you from the left area and right area for easy access. The workers are pretty nice for the most part and normally look like they enjoy their job :) If you get the munchies, they have some snacks and drinks available for purchase at the front, and there are 2 restrooms to the back left and one on the right (although normally closed). I'd say the only thing that can be a turn off is the cleanliness of the space at times (the floor and the bathrooms could use a deep clean) and how it could feel quite small when there are a lot of people trying to get around each other). But overall, still a great place to hangout! read more

Such a cool arcade!! My husband and I played a few games here while we waited to dine at chubby cattle. So many fun games, but our favorite was the claw machine with the dice. The goal is to match 6 dice with the same number to win a big prize, unfortunately we only matched 3 and 4 dice several times winning the smaller prizes. Super fun! read more
