    Located inside the Luxor Hotel and Casino. Came here with family and friends. We're from San Diego and we have nothing like this back home. PLAY was innovative, with so many activities! Prior to entering you purchase a card to play the games, they offer military and I believe local discounts. A lot of the stuff didn't require any credits. Trust me when I say that there is plenty to do, that is FREE. I really enjoyed this bonding experience. There was a lot of things that required team work and one on one competitive games. We had so much fun with the elevated, nostalgic games. We stayed here for a few hours. They have a full bar with great service. A hype man who runs around with a megaphone, hyping everyone up. The whole staff has the best energy and such great vibes. They really make your experience memorable. Highly recommend for date night or gatherings. You'll have an amazing time!

    This is a super fun place for a date night or just to take some friends and challenge each other. No arcade games just fun interactive puzzles and brain puzzles. I mean that some of these require you to think and be fast. Some are games like operation and match the shapes till the board pops. Others require that you and your team mate have to get a red ball through the maze and score points. They have different passes one basic and one VIP, family pass and also group packages. I got the vip this comes with unlimited game play as the games require you to swipe your pass and before you know it your credits run out. Trust me the games are super fun and most of them you will try to beat your score playing multiple times. The vip also comes with one cocktail and swag bag. We had lots of fun and we be back to try and get higher scores. The staff here are super helpful and offer up lots of help with games some are challenging. So head on over to the Luxor hotel and give this place a try....

    Took my son to celebrate his 16th birthday and it was a fantastic idea . This place is fun and full of things to do. They offer Mocktails for the young ones. Definitely splurge for the souvenirs cup because it comes with a hat and the drink . The drink is 50oz and well worth it . The lights and games make it a perfect place to spend some time out of the heat. And if you come on your birthday you get in free .

    Cool one-time experience at Play inside the Luxor Hotel & Casino. I was with a group of 7 friends and we got the VIP pass (3 hours unlimited). It was about a dozen or so games/activities, a bit on the kiddish side, but still fun with a group. The inflatable duck/jump (Duck Duck Boom) and Velcro trampoline were the highlights. Music and vibes were good and the staff were hella chill. Homie with the megaphone walked around and even took our song request "Ditty" - Paperboy. Surprisingly it was not too crowded for a Saturday (during March Madness), so minimal wait times. Drinks are hella expensive or your typical strip prices (VIP includes one cocktail). Upstairs felt like wasted space. Play at the Luxor Hotel & Casino is definitely a chill one-time experience. It's something I'd recommend checking out if you wanna try something different (especially if you're going with a group).

    When we're in Vegas, it's not always just about food, we like to mix in something fun too, especially when we have a young adult with us. Play Playground ended up being a really fun stop. Tickets are about $37 per person and you get 195 game credits, with access to 20+ interactive games, puzzles, and challenges. Ages 13+ are allowed before 6 pm, and after 7 pm it's 21+ with ID. What I liked is that it's not just standing there pressing buttons. You're moving around, thinking, competing, and sometimes working together. Some games are more physical, some are more strategy-based, so there's something for everyone. Time went by fast, we didn't even realize how many credits we used. The vibe is lively but not crazy, and the place is well organized so it never felt overwhelming. They also have food and drinks, which is a nice bonus. Honestly, I can totally see this being fun with my girlfriends too, lots of laughs and friendly competition. Definitely a fun thing to do in Vegas.

    Calling all the big kids! Play Playground is such a fun addition to the strip. As an adult who still enjoys interactive and active spaces like this, it's nice to have a place to go where you can have fun and not worry about somebody's kid in the way. lol. The staff were friendly and helpful upon entering. We're military so it was nice to receive 20% off(also applies to locals). Before we started playing games, we grabbed drinks at the bar. Prices were on the pricer side but being on the strip it's expected. They were tasty though. There's a lot of activities to choose from that range in participation level. It was only the 2 of us so there was plenty for us to do without needing a group. I do think this place would be more fun to visit with a group of at least 4 though. We went on a weekday so it wasn't as busy but there was still a line for a few of the activities. I can imagine the wait getting a little long if it were busier. Overall the space was clean, well maintained, and we enjoyed our time. I would recommend going if you haven't been before or going with mixed groups, but I can't see myself coming back regularly.

    PLAY: 9.5/10 Aesthetic & Ambiance: 9/10 - The aesthetic is literally "adult playground" it's tons of fun, and pretty open and a good night. The ambiance is adults of all ages, but everyone's mainly in a joyful mood. Service: 8.5/10 - The girl who helped us get our badges was hilarious and made sure to come back and help me when I messed up signing up. Games: 10/10 - We did have a larger party so most of the games were easy to fill, or just waiting for each other to get through each round. There's a lot of game to play, and they serve alcohol!

    Date of visit: January 1, 2026 Having visited the location in Nashville earlier this year, we were excited to see how this location compared. I would still give the edge to the Tennessee outlet as they have the cool rooftop bar and lounge area, but this is a solid choice as well. Easily the newest and best thing at Luxor, Play Playground has a number of fun activities for kids of all ages. The facility is 21+ after 7 p.m., making it a good option for those families that bring their young kids to The Strip and also a good option for adults as well. This is best in a small group of three to four people, as most of the activities are for up to four. The Bogglesque word formation game was a lot of fun, and a bit different from the version in Nashville. The dodge game and whac-a-mole light up activity were the exact same as Nashville, but still fun. The Concentration game was the same as Nashville, too, but in much worse shape with many of the pieces falling apart and faded or with faulty magnets. Unique to Luxor was the adult bounce house "maze," while relatively brief (it took almost as long to take off my shoes and other valuables as it did to go through it), I can't tell you the last time I was in something like this and I was here for it!

    I had a bit different experience than many that will attend. Its a little smaller than youd think BUT they make the space count in a major way!! It doesn't feel cluttered yet is jam packed with attractions and games. Many attractions are puzzle based or play off board games you've definitely played. Some are modeled after tv show challenges you've probably seen growing up (30-40yo) they keep score via badges and you can see where you rank. Come relaxed and open to stranger interactions and you will be set! Some games are waaay easier with 3+ people but don't be shy, get out there! We had premade cocktails for our event but Im excited to come w and Try MORE!!

    We had such a great time. There's a variety of your favorite life sized games and a bar to accompany it. We were there for three hours playing every game. Amari went above and beyond to make sure we had such a fun time. It's something refreshing to the Vegas experience!!

    Christina M.

    We had a good night but nothing exciting. It was definitely smaller than I expected and some games were add ons. The tickets were kinda expensive $40 a person. At least you had enough credits to do each game once. The staff seemed sparse and hard to find so we weren't able to ask any questions. I asked one employee where the bathroom was and she just stared at me for awhile then said I don't know. Took around 2-3 hours to complete everything. Thankfully it wasn't too busy we only had to wait for a couple games. Cool if you're looking for something different but I don't think it's worth the money.

    Ellyssa N.

    Really fun experience for adults to play life size games from when they were young. Some instructions were hard to comprehend but once the game started, it was easy to pick up. A regular pass gave you enough tokens to play each game one time. We were there for 3 hours and still had a few games left to play. Definitely a great experience for date night or with a group

    Ask the Community - Play Playground

    Is there actual food here or just small bites?

    Small bites

    Do they serve mocktails?

    Yes, we have a full selection of mocktails and sippable items!

    How much are the tickets?

    Hi Cher! We invite you to check out our website, where you can find many different options.

    Do u have to reserved or buy a ticket in an advance? Or can u just do a walk in and buy a ticket?

    You can just walk in and buy a ticket during their open times

    Are there lockers to put bags and belongings you don't want to carry?

    Yes. Your card that you use to play the games opens & closes the lockers. I think they're free of charge but not 💯 sure.

    What is the average age group?

    Young!! Like 22-25. We felt old in there lol

    Do locals get a discount?

    Yes! 20% off for locals when you present your ID in-person.

    After purchasing tickets online do I need to show id at the door?

    Yes to confirm age !

    Are kids allowed?

    Kids are no longer allowed! As of 4/10/2024 play playground is 21 and up ONLY via management!

    Do you have to buy tickets in advance?

    No... you can walk in and buy them

    Do they serve food?

    They do not serve food but it is located on the 2nd floor near the food court so you could always grab something to eat if you get hungry.

    Do you wear shoes while playing?

    Yes, you are wearing shoes the entire time except for the bouncy house and the Bullseye game.

    Will KIDS (2-10 years old) enjoy this place?

    Hi! Definitely would not bring kids under 8, or so. They won't be able to reach a lot of the games and the only form of a jungle gym they have is a slide. Very much geared towards adults. More in line with Area15 than Chuck E. Cheese!

It feels like the place is being run by young employees who either haven't been properly trained in customer service or simply don't want to provide it. If you don't like dealing with customers, a customer-service job probably isn't the best career choice. It took us over 30 minutes just to find someone willing to help us redeem our arcade tickets for prizes. We asked multiple employees for assistance, and every single one seemed more interested in passing us off to someone else than actually solving the problem. Look, I get it--it's Circus Circus. The place already comes with a certain reputation. But maybe during new-hire orientation, management could dust off one of those painfully boring training videos explaining what customer service actually means. At this point, even that would be an improvement. Will I come back? Probably. I still have little kids, and they have fun here. But believe me, I yearn for the glorious day when they're grown and I can finally drive past Circus Circus without hearing, "Dad, can we go there?!" Until then, I'll be back. Reluctantly. Do a little better, Circus Circus. The kids may not notice the poor service--but the parents paying for everything definitely do.

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.

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.

The pre-show was decent, but after standing in line, standing waiting to see the pre-show experience and then standing for the pre-show experience, older people and those with back problems had trouble. We were seated for the film. The film was nice with a few special effects, but it was more about the Iceland country side and only a few seconds showing areas inhabited by people including Reykjavik which is a beautiful city (we have been there). The overall film experience was not 25 minutes as advertised (less). If you are prone to motion sickness or have ear or balance issues I don't recommend this experience.

    This classic carnival/amusement park ride has never changed since whenever the bumper car…read morerevolution began. How can you go wrong with an electric powered vehicle that was designed for bumping into other cars? Well, head on collisions can really mess up your back, spine, or whatever other skeletal terms you wanna go by. That is why for this track you are only supposed to go in one direction. In this case, counter clockwise. Still you will have those people that either dont know how to drive or just wanna be idiots and bump into everybody or both. You must be 54 inches tall to drive, at least 42 to ride. Before you are even let on to the track, you have those measuring sticks there at the entrance. Make sure to buckle up or the attendant walking around will not let the fun begin. Each car can fit two people if one is not tall enough to drive. There is only the one gas pedal on the left. To slow down or stop, simply just take your foot off the pedal. Or you can just bump into somebody if you wanna stop right away. To back up towards whatever direction you wanna go just turn the steering wheel to all the way to the extreme right or left. In the end, even after all this info, some people just dont know how to drive. Dont let any of these people drive you to the hospital. If im not mistaken I think the overall time given to drive around is 5 minutes. Yelp 2014 365 Review Challenge #172 "Road rage starts here"

    What can I say? My kids love them some good ole sharks. So we come here and they never…read moredisappoint. There's sharks aplenty. Hammerhead! Saw tooth shark. Komodo dragon. Snake. Huge fishes. And an ancient SE Asian ruin theme that just makes it all the more majestic and Indiana Jonesy. I got an annual pass and in 2 months we went maybe 3 times and it's always awesome. Even without the kids, I swear I can just sit there in the shark area and meditate and listen to the underwater sounds and it's just so peaceful and soul refreshing.

    During our visit, we attended a piranha talk and presentation. We also explored exhibits featuring…read moreAsian fish and lizards, sharks, and stingrays. One of the more interesting features was a ship-like viewing area that allowed children to see animals swimming both underneath and above them through the glass. This gave younger visitors another way to observe the animals closely. Stingray Touch Pool The stingray touch pool was much less accessible for small children. The stingrays usually stayed near the bottom of the pool, making them difficult for younger children to reach. Children were not permitted to sit or lie on the stone surrounding the pool for safety reasons, but there was no alternative provided, such as a secured step platform or designated raised viewing area. This meant that parents often had to lift and hold their children over the edge so they could see or attempt to touch the stingrays. That could create its own safety concern for both the parent and child. A staff member suggested that a child could lie on their stomach to reach farther into the pool. However, this may not work well for children who have sensory sensitivities, physical limitations, discomfort with pressure on their stomach, or developmental delays. The exhibit would be more inclusive if it offered a safe alternative for shorter children, such as: * A secured, nonslip step platform * A lower section of the pool designed for children * A raised glass viewing window * A staff-supported touch opportunity * Clear accessibility options for children with sensory or physical needs The touch pool was an exciting concept, but the current design made it difficult for many younger children to participate independently and safely.

    Overall, my best friend and I had a great time!…read more The staff was friendly and helpful. Russell assisted us throughout our experience. They have a cute banana scavenger hunt challenge to earn 10 minutes of axe throwing. I also noticed they take donations for their smash room, which I think is neat. We visited the location on a Monday! They have $75/per person offer on Mondays to enjoy 2 activities. We chose the smash room and axe throwing, but they also have a paint room option. I have gone axe throwing before, but I like the axe throwing better at this location because they offer a variety of games to play with your group. We played and enjoyed the zombie game the most. The only reason I gave the experience 4 stars and not 5 stars is because I wish we could have thrown items against the walls in the smash room, but we were confined to the table in the center.
