The good thing about living in Las Vegas is that there are no shortages of Arcades. However I feel bad for people who live in states or cities where they don't have arcades. I hope there will be a permanent resurgence in arcades because it's a social experience that no generation should be without.
lightgun, racing and novelty arcade games, and a couple of oldies in bad condition tucked in the corner, its been like this for years here in england. i used to love going to seaside towns up and down the coast as a kid. i used to know every arcade game in each establishment up and down. and was joyed when a new cab appeared on each visit. now its all gamblers, novelty and empty arcades. Blackpool England was a Mecha for Cades, "the Golden MIle" a mile long of arcade game estabs on the sea front
I noticed a place called "Kitchen Den Bar" was coming in in place of GameWorks all over the country. Do you think this location will get converted over? If so, I strongly suggest you not carry a balance on your GameWorks game card.
@n8great321 I think the name of that place is called Insert Coin(s). I hope it does stick around. There's also an arcade close to the main Vegas airport that specializes in rhythm and dance games. I forget the name though but it's in the aurcade database.
sad to see great places so empty these days, ohhh and dude i gotta try that pac man vs out we have one out here near Johnny when you come out we should play! :)
Nice Video john, cool to see what sega's got in Their Vegas location. Ms. Pac Man id be all over lol. Cool to see Dual Star Wars racer! NICE the Outrun SP, love that one! Looks like fun, makes me wanna go to the one in Tempe!
IDK if this is just me, but arcades these days are flooded with light gun shooters, and driving games. In the old days, every game was different in some shape and form. And thats what made the arcade more fun. They just don't have the same appeal anymore. (This is coming from a 17 year old BTW)
Did you end up trying that tank game? The one that you said was huge? My friend and I played that at an arcade around here. It's really a lot of fun. :D
Empty place but great looking setup of cabs over there. I guess this was an exceptionally slow night or something like that. Hopefully it was something like that otherwise this joint will go belly up in no time. That would be sad.
It's weird to think there are still new arcade games that are over looked because they aren't too popular here in the States anymore. You and HappyConsoleGamer give a lot of love to the arcade :)
Awesome video! Loving these arcade walkthroughs since there aren't any arcades left in my country. These videos are pretty much the only arcade experiences I can have these days.

If you're back in vegas, you should check out the new barcade that opened on Freemont Street. Seems like a ton of retro arcades, really cool place.
