Player 1 Video Game Bar - Las Vegas

So much fun! Felt like a kid again. Thank you!

Not a good spot if you have more than 4 people in your party.

As soon as I walked in the atmosphere was immediately unwelcoming, half hearted welcomes and zero guidance for a group of newcomers. The front desk staff are impersonal and rude, literally just flipped a screen over for me to process my payment and doesn’t say a word about what they’re doing or how that system works, I’ve never used it so it would be nice to have an easily stated “just click okay down in the bottom left.” Both of the attendants seemed like they hated being there and hated everyone that came through the door.
This was my first and last time coming to this bar, it is completely disorganized and if you’re a person that enjoys a structured and well organized place where you don’t have to play 21 questions with rude and impatient staff, I DO NOT RECOMMEND. If that’s you then by all means the bartenders are the only reason I would ever come back in without being forced.

The games are cool, but I feel like they needed to pick a lane. Console or arcade, it’s cool to sprinkle in a little bit of both but trying to have both really makes no sense, nobody is playing the arcade games because they’re there for the consoles. In other words, focusing on the consoles and making multiple booths where you can add a table or 2 would make this place shine much brighter. The holes in the wall and general look of the place screams “we run this for the money.” Which of course you do, that’s the point, but atleast attempt to make your customers feel like you care.

Save maybe 2 employees in the entire building, minus the cooking staff, this place just needs to revamp everything, the idea is cool, the delivery is subpar. I really hope you guys actually take some time to look into your personnel here so maybe this won’t be the last time I, or anyone else that shares my sentiment, visit your bar. Also lower your drink prices for god sakes you’re not on the strip, nor at the drinks that good to be charging that much.

Can’t lie I am pretty disappointed and pissed about my experience. I do not get the hype behind this place.

Tell your vendor to quit hogging the xbox one on Wednesdays. Other people want to play other games too

Overall: 3.4/5

We stopped by Player1 after dinner on a Monday night. The website lists the entry fee for Nevada residents as $5 per person, but in-person, it's actually $6 so they need to update their website. The entry fee includes unlimited free games for most machines, except the pinball games. The arcade has a great selection of classic games that bring back some nostalgia, especially Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart. The games and overall vibe weren't really my style, so while it was fun to check out once, I probably wouldn't return.

Best Beercade in Las Vegas!!! Reminds me of being back home in Chicago!! Amazing atmosphere with a great staff!! If you like pinball, You'll really enjoy the selection!! 👍🏼

Love this place for pinball and beer when in town.

All games are set to free play except pinball, which is cheap. Machines well kept.

$9 uber from the north end of the strip if you time it right.

Will be back again and again.

Used to really love this place. Wed night weeb night. Took 20 minutes last visit to get a beer. Wrong beer was tapped as Peroni. Bartender was quite rude and didn't offer a solution or a different beer.

Promising Videogame Bar. Some tips from someone who previously owned one:
-lock the Gamecube, as is it can be opened really easily and that Melee disc is spendy. A better idea would be to mod the GameCube to have Picoboot. This is cheap, easy, and would open it to have more options without risking losing discs.
-lower the difficulty on the fighting game cabinets. Most cabinets have a process for this, the current difficulty is so high that even good players will struggle. Better to make them easy than inaccessible.
-fix the Carnevil cabinet. It crashes

Nice bar, a lot of the arcade machines had issues though like buttons not working screens broken etc. But it's $5 for free play so can't complain too much. The drinks were good

Absolutely awesome place. Fair price to get in (~$10) for free play on basically everything except pinball. This includes consoles! They put a $5 deposit on your card when you borrow controllers for the consoles, but refund it when you return them. I got to play a Sega Genesis for the first time ever, plus Demons Souls. If I ever return to Vegas, I'm definitely coming back here!

My friend and I went here for the first time last night and I’ve heard really good things so I was excited to check it out. I did my research before coming and it says that Nevada residents pay only $5 but when we got there the girl working the counter asked if it was our first time and we said yes. Then she checked our IDs and told us it was $6 each for some reason. Then she said it would be card only. Then she said the told will be $13 which I guess maybe tax but then I look at my statement and it was $13.39. Then she didn’t even explain anything and when I paid it asked if I wanted to leave a tip for her. Like the nerve! Yeah like I would leave a tip for the girl who was rude and charged us more.

It was definitely a cool spot thought but not all of the games were included. You had to pay for the pinball games which I was disappointed. And I know all these games are older but some didn’t work and it’s not like there was a technician around to try and fix them. Another off putting thing was the smell coming from the bathrooms. You could smell it while playing all the games in that area.

Didn’t get a chance to get a drink or food. To be honest I was scared they were going to over charge me like the girl did in the front so I didn’t take a chance.
