Picture of the go cart racing area from Apex grill
Chris T.

Apex at the Red Hawk Casino was pretty crowded too, with lots of families here. It's such a fun place for games, bowling, rides, and go cart rides, if you're too young or not into gambling at the Casino. I stopped in for a bite, and got the fish tacos. They weren't as good as I've had before, so I think I'll try the pizza, burger, or chicken wings next time, because I've had that before.

I'm torn on this one because well they have a lot going on. I really don't feel like there's a ton of value to be had here unless you hit it on a day where there is a special discount. Four stars is generous given the value proposition here. The games and attractions are on the pricey side, the games don't pay out well, and you end up dropping a good amount of money to leave with a less than awesome item from the redemption store. As far as the space itself, it's super rad. Big, clean, lots to see and do, but again, a small fortune to experience it. We were staying on property and discovered Apex and it made our little arcade going hearts happy even as adults. We love seeing the array of new coin, pushers, and skill base arcade games available, along with the claw machines that had a lot of cool licensed fun inside. We also enjoyed watching people do the VR, but it looked a little too crazy for us. The screens run a series of promotions and we landed there on a game day, which meant five dollar margaritas at the bar and that was well worth it however it was a little bit challenging to get them because the staff was confused as to whether or not it was on, and the sign clearly said any Weekdays where there are games they offer it and it didn't have any other stipulations so I was happy when the bartender eventually honored it. The drink itself was solid. Not too sweet not too sour and it tasted like they use a decent tequila. The arcade games looked good but they did not pay out tickets very well. For 100 bucks we had about 2200 tickets which seems very low considering how much we put through these coin pushers, the number of towers we knocked over and the bonuses we saw that we won. The tickets go very far in the redemption store and frankly, we probably should've had a lot more and I don't understand why it was such a low number. Staff was quick to help with any issues and they were helpful in guiding us into the different options that we had. The space is huge inviting and has a lot to offer with the VR and go karts attached plus the golf simulators, full bar and restaurant food available make this a great stuff if you're on property or just passing through.

We went here to see what all the talk was about. I see the signs advertised by the side of freeway all the time. It didn't quite live up to the hype. Everything is pricey, which is expected of a casino. It was $35 for one race per person (unless you had a group and did a group rate). The claw machines used too many tokens compared to the other games. The go-cart racing is three stories tall! You are given a helmet to use when racing. The go carts were not the most user friendly. You really had to put force into making turns with your arms. This is not meant for anyone with a knee injury or limited mobility. The arcade was small but they did have my favorite arcade game there - break the plate. A few of their games weren't working when we visited. The arcade on a different floor (that's more kid friendly) has a better game selection. My favorite part of the apex was the bowling alley. They have a cool lounging area in the front. The bowling balls are designed like pool table balls. They have cubbies at each lane for shoes and bags. The cubbies even have outlets to charge phones! The bowling games have different set ups. There's the standard bowling game and other options. One was points based on how many pins you hit, and everyone in your group gets one roll per turn. The food in the bowling area was good too. The pita bread was amazing! They had a nice selection of food items on their menu. Each bowling lane has an area for food and drinks. Overall it was a unique experience. The go-cart racing was a let down for me. The arcade was small but had some good games in the mix. Their bowling alley was a lot of fun and the main thing I would want to go back for.

WHY WE WENT HERE: - niece's 7th birthday party THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located in the Red Hawk Casino - parking garage is free and we were situated nearby the elevator THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - elevator clearly indicates the button to push to access the floor that The Apex is located on - pleasantly surprised with The Apex! in a nutshell it made me think of Dave & Buster's + K1 speeding and add a food court and bowling alley, but make everything elevated EXPERIENCE/CUSTOMER SERVICE: - all the kids and some of the adults really enjoyed the bowling, go-kart racing, pizza party, and arcade bundle

Joy Y.

My 10 year old loved this place! We always have a great time with the games, race cars and bowling! We come a couple times out of the year for our daughter to enjoy! It's a great place to celebrate birthdays and special occasions! Food is not too bad as well! What's great is the adults can have some fun not too far away! We highly recommend this place for kids and adults to enjoy!

Birra flat bread
Jessica H.

This is definitely a hidden gem of El Dorado County. We've stopped in to see the Apex when we've been at the casino and it's always been SO busy. My son had a birthday party here a few months ago on a Saturday evening and it was (again) super busy and seemed almost chaotic. We were here today to celebrate our son graduating . Today is a Tuesday and we arrived around 4:00 - 4:30. The place was empty and we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves.... Until the evening crowd started to come in. Our family was the only ones on the karts which was amazing. We did an adult race and a junior race. Our youngest wasn't tall enough to ride yet. The karts are really fun. I would definitely say I'd need more than one race to get the hang of it. We had the cameras on our helmets and the video is awesome to watch. Bowling was really fun and it was our 4yr olds first time bowling. We ordered food and ate it while bowling. The fries were great and my son really liked the pepperoni pizza. I had the steak tacos, our oldest son had the birra flat bread and my husband had the wings. If you get drinks, there are no refills- but the attendant told us to take the cups and fill them up in the casino (someone 21+ of course) because then you get free refills. The virtual reality rollercoaster was a HIT for my family. I'm sure we will be back to ride every option that it has. My tips: wear closed toed shoes for the go karts, bring your own socks for bowling (so you don't have to buy some to go with the bowling shoes), also go on a weekday if you have a family and don't want to feel all the chaos of crowds. Videos and more reviews will be on my IG @ raising4harrisons

Going the distance...going for speed.
Ronny S.

Hi-ya! Wow this place is really amazing. I guess in July they have sales going so the cart racing was $25/ per person instead of $35 and bowling was $5/ person + $5/ shoes. The kids had a lot of fun the, entire venue was top notch and prices during the time we went were so reasonable. We couldn't smell any smoke and the other patrons were polite were respectful. The place so clean, and lots of customer service reps and all friendly. The food was good too, except pizza was ok. The chicken strips were good loaded nachos so tasty.

Large entertainment complex!
Joyce T.

This is a great mix of adult to children entertainment interests. Large complex. It contains bowling and prix racing. Large bar, snack bar, seating area, movement rides, virtual golfing, video games and pool. I sat at the bar and I felt like I was at an ESPN studio with all the TV screens and twirling score stats.

My bowling dates
Shelli H.

I have now bowled at a casino! We were visiting my son and it was pouring rain. We needed an inside activity. We decided to go bowling and this is close to their house. I was concerned about the smell of smoke as we exited the elevator as my daughter in law is 8 months pregnant. The casino is to your left and Apex to your right. Once you enter Apex, the smell went away. Apex has go carts and a Vr ride?, arcade and restaurant and of course a bar. They may have more stuff. But we were there to bowl. You pay by the hour here, 40 bucks an hour. I gotta say had we been in the regular area it may have been too loud and 3 stars. But, we lucked out and got a lane in the vip room. We had the whole thing to ourselves for the first hour. We ordered food to the lane and really had a good time.

Bacon burger  Pesto chicken wrap with the balsamic on the outside, making it sticky to hold
Stephanie S.

This review is for the Apex Grill and Bar. I would rate it 3.5 stars. Pros - Bacon burger and fries were great. - We went on a Wednesday for Trivia night which was a lot of fun and enjoyed the $4 house wine. - Bar was spacious and had ample seating - I ordered food via the QR code on the table. Once my food was ready I was texted once and phoned multiple times which I appreciated because you are not supposed take your phone out during the trivia. The multiple, persistent calls forced me to check my phone and collect my order while the food was hot. Cons - Pesto chicken wrap was bland. Extremely poor execution with the balsamic on the outside. You couldn't eat the wrap without getting the sticky balsamic all over your hand. I would come back again but stick to ordering the burgers.

Virtual ride
Trice O.

I really enjoyed this place! They have a wide range of fun things to do and it's connected to the casino. They have bowling, go kart racing, virtual golfing, video games and a virtual ride. The cafe has pizza, fries, burgers, etc. and must say the pizza wasn't bad at all. There's also a bar inside for those that appreciate adult beverages. I was there celebrating a birthday but this is a nice date night spot too!

I visited with friends and we had a great time!…read more We checked in on the digital kiosks and then selected balaclava colors before waiting for our turn. At first I was confused why the wait time was so long when the space seemed almost empty, but we learned quickly that the more runs you do the better deal you get, and racing can be pricey. We opted for two rounds since we were new to it and didn't know how long it would take if we did more. Our first race took some time to be called for (about an hour), but we had much less downtime before our second one. While you wait there is an arcade area and a bar. One thing we noticed is that the staff in areas other than the racetrack are much less engaging- I think they must be bored from the lack of people interacting with them or working on things in other places. The bar was frequently unmanned and we learned that they don't offer tap water, only bottled. We also learned that while some packages come with food, if you don't time it correctly you may have to leave the food at the tables to head down to your race. It might be best to wait until after racing to order any food. While we didn't get food during the visit, we found it odd that a bunch of sliders and other food were just sitting around in the bar area unattended, getting cold. There's gotta be a better system. The team on the racetrack was engaged and nice. They made sure everyone was set up, strapped in, and that the races were organized and safe. I was TERRIBLE, but did get better my second round. Our group ended up having a lot of fun. Some things to note- they do put groups together and fill the extra spots with other racers so your group will be together but you may have different people in each heat (depending on how many rounds they bought and when they arrived). Riding with other groups means you may get bumped into and have people of VERY different skill levels. We definitely had some regulars in our group. When someone spins out or needs help all the karts stop so it can really interrupt the race, but I guess that's part of the experience. Overall it's a lot of fun but there's some room for improvement in their non-racing areas.

My friend wanted to play Duckpin bowling, but it was $35 an hour for up to 6 people. Lucky we asked the bartender if we could pay for it at the bar and she talked to the bar manager and he said sure! It's only $3 a game per person! Now we're talking! We had 4 people and one game each was perfect for $12. You don't need bowling shoes, there is barely an approach. It was super fun! They had many specials such as street tacos $3, Modelo draft beer $4 and Margaritas $5. We had the Supreme flatbread for $14 and it was good. My Friend ordered the charcuterie board for $24. I really loved the sausage and the display was presented in a giant pretzel. I love the couches for trivia so nice and comfortable! The staff preferred not to have a photo so I respected their wishes. The building is huge with no one In it, which makes me sad! We will definitely be back for trivia and hopefully Duckpin bowling will be $3 a game again! If you're looking for a fun place for the family look no further this is the place for you!!!

We had a couple lanes reserved for us. Plenty of space for seating, eating, etc. Please see all my pictures. I had a few tacos, churros, beer, and ice tea. I left very satisfied. Ambiance - The space is AMAZING, both indoor and outdoor. Huge and plenty of different things to do. Good options to eat or drink, especially with a full bar. See pictures of their menus. Racing, duckpin, mini gold, arcade, eating and drinking, etc. So many options. A great place to host events, corporate meetings, etc. Or just a great day/night for a family outing, date night, etc. Open 7 days a week from 10am or 11am to 10pm or midnight. Plenty of mall parking; they are located in the very back of the mall next to Planet Fitness; so again, plenty of parking. Many promotions, especially daily; see their website. Service - Great. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. Many promotions and events; see their website. Price - Today's event was free for me as Chris and SBDC hosted it. But all the prices seem very reasonable for a great and fun day. See my pictures. Student discounts available; see their website. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2008, since 2013 in Reno, and almost a year at this new beautiful location.

The owner is a friend, but keep reading to find out why. The owner of Karting Concepts is very passionate about kart racing and his local club tracks in Davis ( BlueMax Kart Club ) and Folsom ( Prairie City SVRA - All Star Karting ). I've known him since 2013 in which he started a business relationship with the company that I work for. I'm used to getting sales pitches and other non-creative marketing tossed my direction from the racing circles, but Patrick was different. He urged me to come back out to the local track, Blue Max Kart Club and to try club racing again, with a Briggs and Stratton 206 powered kart. At first I had no interest because, "I'm a shifter guy!!!". I've been around karting since 1995, and my smiles come from driving a shifter kart, so a lawn mower engine package had no appeal to me. Patrick kept working on me to come out and give it a try. After about a year, I finally headed out to BlueMax for a club race and the class I entered had about 30 kart on the track. This shifter guy had a huge smile on his face, not because the karts are super fast like a shifter, but because the racing was intense and close. After I got out, I became an ambassador for the Briggs LO206 platform because it was a great start up package for all kart racers. I enjoyed a large field, close racing, and once I bought my own equipment, relatively affordable (by motorsports standards) cost to hit the track. Now over the years, Patrick and I have become friends. He has a real passion for the sport of karting, as do I. He is honest with people and he puts others first. If the world had more people with his temperament and personality, it would be a much better place. He has participated at all levels in the karting business. He had offered rental programs do introduce new people to the sport. He runs a side business to retail karts and parts. He has traveled to big national karting events to support customers. He has spent countless hours building the local kart club and growing membership numbers. Do I need to go on?

The courses were challenging, but not too hard, and not too easy. Everything was kept up and clean. Looking around the course while we were playing I didn't notice any thing dilapidated or broken. It took us a little while to get through the course because of the kids, but it was very enjoyable amd we all had a great time. With it being early February and pretty cold out, alot of the outside attractions were closed. We came right after breakfast on a Sunday, so those could have been factors also. We decided to go inside and play in the arcade. Unfortunately alot of the games were out of order. There were some that we scanned our playcard and took the funds, but didn't start the game. We went to the counter and let them know and they kindly reloaded our cards. It happened a few times and honestly I think they were starting to think we were trying to scam them into recharging our cards. Either that, or we weren't swiping the card correctly. Neither of those were the case and we offered to show them which game it was each time, and offered to demonstrate with our card how it took the money and didn't start. They said that wasn't necessary, and a staff member would walk over with us so they could figure out what was going on and put a sign if necessary. The little photo booths are fun, but again, there are two and only one was working. All in all the facility was very clean and kept up. I noticed there were staff members constantly walking around picking up trash, and forgotten items from other guests. There were even a couple wiping down games and sanitizing them. I appreciate that cause well, you know...kids are gross including my own sometimes lol! Since we had just come from breakfast we didn't eat here, but the snack bar looked decent, expensive, but in a place like this that is to be expected. There were plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your snacks/food and if not being used they were clean. The restrooms were clean, there was a sewage like smell in the women's room, but it wasn't too overpowering. Not worth complaining about. All in all we had a good time here, spent quite a bit of money between the arcade and the mini golf, but the kids had fun so thats what matters most right?
