The only downside was that some of the arcade machines like the basketball games and a bunch of others weren't working properly & ended up taking my money. That was def frustrating.

Playcade is a classic amusement arcade that opened in Atlantic City, New Jersey in the 1950s…read more Located on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, it is the city's longest established arcade. The arcade features a variety of both classic and modern amusements, including Ice-Ball (a variation of Skee-Ball), classic arcade cabinets, crane machines, rail-shooter games, pinball machines, and more. My family and I visited Playcade this past summer while we were on a road trip. I've turned my older son onto arcades in the past couple of years, and he was super excited when I told him that the Atlantic City Boardwalk has no shortage of them. We had visited the Lucky Snake Arcade a day earlier. That place is just HUGE, but I longed for a classic arcade experience and I knew that I could get that at Playcade. They had a nice mixture of old and modern games. The prices were pretty descent too. We played a few games of Ice-Ball and then my son and I enjoyed a few games of "Ice Man". The latter is a rail-shooter game where the players use mounted water cannons to shoot and freeze zombies. It reminded us a lot of "Plants vs Zombies", which we both love. Afterwards, my son redeemed all of our tickets for some fun prizes. Overall, we had a really nice visit. If you love classic arcades then you must visit Playcade!

Hardly anything was open, granted I visited when it was more towards off season, but there was nothing to do. Those pictures, I don't see the appeal. That long corridor that is lined with all the claw machines. Totally not the aesthetic I was hoping for. It's a great place to step off the boardwalk from, but a place that just isn't for everyone.

I came here on a Tuesday night with twelve fellow souls from a convention who had been talking to…read morepeople all day under fluorescent lights. We were tired and hollowed out, but Dave & Buster's, tucked inside the Tanger Outlets near the boardwalk, greeted us with flashing neon optimism. The place was mostly empty, which felt a little like wandering into a carnival after closing time. Music bingo was happening, hosted by some cheerful disembodied voice over the speakers. You could play along by scanning a QR code, which I did, because I was curious whether the universe still wanted me to win something. It did not, but it was free and surprisingly fun. The food was good. Not the sort of good that changes your life, but the kind that makes you nod at your plate and think, "Yes, this will do." The drinks were honest and strong enough to make the convention chatter fade to a manageable hum. The service was the star of the evening. Our waitress moved like a well-rehearsed act of kindness, and a manager-type woman floated by often enough to make sure our glasses were full without ever feeling like she was checking up on us. They were so attentive that one of my colleagues whispered that she felt almost important. No one played the arcade games. The blinking lights waited patiently for our game cards, but we were too weary from the day. Perhaps next time. All in all, the service alone was worth the trip. The music bingo was the cherry on top. If the world is an absurd machine, at least it sometimes hums along smoothly in Atlantic City.

I think during the summer this might be the place to be. The machines were on the older side and not typically the games I like to play.

So is this something that is hidden in Atlantic City? I'm truly interested to know if people come…read morehere. Like the last review was nearly a year ago. Well, let's get into it. Wild Wild West Casino is basically an extension to Caesars. No other way to put it. No hotel portion, no big advertising to pull you in. It's just there. Hidden and underused...almost deserted. I ventured here via the connection to Caesars. It is an interesting walk to get here as you feel like you are entering an area guests shouldn't be allowed. You go to a corner, through some doors, down an escalator, through a themed walkway, and finally enter. Along the way you see signs on doors staying staff only, but you also see signs with arrows pointing you in a direction to continue. It was confusing and I was wondering if I was entering AC's version of the backrooms. The highlight of this area is the theming. They really went all out to make you feel like you were entering into the Old West. The corridor taking to the area is lined with what is supposed to be the buildings along a dirt road in the west. The casino floor itself carries on the theming and is included in the bar areas (I'm guessing on that one, I'll tell you why in a minute). It makes you wonder what this place looked like in its heyday. Because I can tell you it looked fun to be in...but. See here's the thing, it's like they just forgot about this area, left some of the power on, and the door unlocked. When I got to this area it was seriously dim. As one review from 2022 stated, most of the light in here comes from the doors that take you out to the boardwalk. There were absolutely no places that offered food or drink open, completely shuttered. That bar area where the theming continued, it looked like it was to be set up with tables and chairs and be partitioned off from the rest of the place, but you could walk right though the area. Restaurants from well known celebrity chefs were locked up tight. The entrance to the show as well. I felt like I could have done one of the urban explorer videos in here because there was no one else in this space. I did a real quick once around of the floor to make sure I wasn't seeing things and there was absolutely no one in here playing the slots. No table games that I saw either. I believe there were games in here much like you would find at an adult arcade as well. After a bit, I started to get that creepy feeling and I made my way to the boardwalk doors. This was the only time I saw people. This is a convenient shortcut to get to Caesars if you are on the boardwalk. Also a great way to avoid weather. Sad, feels like this could be a great place to visit.

Classic games like Skee Ball never go out of style, and they also have a nice range of other games (some give out tickets and some don't). We played air hockey (cost 4 tokens) -- they have a nice table with good airflow (the air hockey tables at many arcades suck because of poor airflow). In contrast to another post, my daughters actually prefer the paper tickets to the modern cards that keep track of tickets you've won. The paper tickets are tangible and more fun, especially when you get to feed them into the counting machines. If you have some time to kill or need a break from the sun, the Smile Factory is a worthwhile stop.

Something that had a…read moreton of things to do and would keep you busy without feeling like you were being pushed through the area. Yes, I was here near offseason so a lot of the rides were already down for the year. Most of the games and food stalls were also down. However, you can at least go on the wheel if you wanted to. Bypass those people and go to the booth to get your ticket. Even if you do visit when the rides may not be open you are able to at least take a stroll and walk around. This is what I imagine a pier to be off of a boardwalk. Bright lights, activities to do. A place to escape a bit into.
