Best place to take kids in Vegas. It’s like a casino for children/teens/almost adults. If we’d had more time we’d have gone to King Arthur’s Tournament whose entrance is right in the middle of the arcade. Could be more generous with tickets and rewards, but that is common with ALL arcades. Great vibe and very well attended games, staff, and machines.

A much smaller arcade than the ones in neighboring resorts. Just as empty though, which is nice. Not slammed with people or crowded. The prizes are normal for most arcades. Definitely has a wide selection of games. Connects to the roller coaster experience which go hand in hand with bundles to buy. Nathan’s hot dogs located there as well.

The NYNY Arcade at New York-New York Hotel & Casino is a fantastic spot for some classic gaming fun, and as Las Vegas streamers, we’re always on the lookout for exciting places to recommend. Whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart, this arcade has something for everyone—retro games, claw machines, and all the ticket-winning favorites. It’s a great place to take a break from the casino action and enjoy some lighthearted fun, especially for families visiting Vegas. The energy is always high, and the flashing lights and buzzing sounds create that nostalgic arcade feel that we love. If you're looking for an affordable and entertaining stop on the Strip, the NYNY Arcade is a great choice. The variety of games ensures that everyone can find something to enjoy, and the prizes make it even more exciting. It’s also conveniently located inside New York-New York, making it an easy stop before or after a meal at one of the nearby restaurants. We definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in Vegas and want to add a little extra fun to your trip!

We had some time to kill before our flight out so we came to New York, New York to ride the Big Apple Rollercoaster. Vegas was under wind advisory so it was a no go on the coaster. The Big Apple Arcade was the perfect option to kill time and it was a lot of fun. I gave it 4 stars for a couple reasons… Some games are pretty old so they’re clunky. The claw games are very loose. It’s like it doesn’t even open/close, just kinda dangles there. The pricing on the games don’t make sense vs how many tickets you can earn, but I always expect to drop $100 for arcade candy at the end 🤪 You can tell the staff are just there for a job, but I get it… I’m sure it’s boring having to stand there and not get to play the games 😅 There are a lot of variety of different games so that was a plus. The sports games (basketball, football, air hockey) type games are ALWAYS fun. Negative would be that the air hockey tables are one of the older models so the air barely works and the machine actually pop open when you score a fast puck so that’s probably dangerous lol it happened on multiple tables. Overall our preteen had fun so that’s always a win.

Really great little place to go with your kids or if you’re not a gambler. They’ve got a good selection of games including a Pump It Up 2023 machine for you rhythm gamers like me. The technicians are helpful and nice too!! Bonus: try out the roller coaster! 😉
