We had fun. Mike was a hoot. It was really fun.

I vowed to never come back here after my last visit a couple years ago. However I was there this weekend to meet up with a group of friends. I came in with hopes that maybe they turned it around but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I bought a play card for arcade games and half of them would just charge me and not operate at all. When I brought it up with the staff, they said they can’t control the arcade games and don’t give refunds. She offered me a shot, but I don’t drink, so that was a wash. Everything else just seems like a tourist money grab. $20 to ride the “bull” for 5 seconds, $20/person per hour for bowling that works half the time. Stay away.

I don’t give 1 star reviews often but I am actually offended at how this business is run and feel the need to inform people not to waste their time here.
My group was initially excited to come here due to a past reputation - iconic wrestling memorabilia and a Sabu mural caught my eye. However, it was all downhill from there.
To start, I have no issue with the staff. The employee working there did just fine. Overpriced drinks (a $15 rum and coke???) and a tiny arcade where $20 only gets you around 30 minutes of play essentially ruined the excited vibe my group had coming here. We all left feeling like we wished we’d gone elsewhere.
The claw machines were legitimately rigged (claws wouldn’t even close after multiple attempts) and the bowling wasn’t working despite being a ridiculous $20/person for 1 hour. There are posters up showing they’re sponsored by an NFT (in 2025 no less) so clearly they’re desperate.
This is a tourist trap and a key business to look at if you’re researching the quick decline of Vegas and locals being priced out. Avoid avoid avoid.

Terrible drinks for $20 😩 had to wait for workers to stop talking so I could order my drink and this place is ancient.... Air hockey table was a blast..... definitely not worth it though
The atmosphere is basically the only thing going for this place currently.
I've been here twice and my experience was the same both times. Very expensive watered down drinks, staff will turn your music off if they don't like it (doesn't matter if you paid for it to play), and a nice but ultimately empty feeling atmosphere.
The games are certainly the best thing about this bar, but there is a price on just about everything. There's a $5 cover charge per person to get in, most games require money to play, and along with each drink being $15-$20 no matter what's in it, the bill WILL rack up very fast. Be prepared to spend over $50 on just drinks alone.
Specialty drinks tasted great, but they were $20 no matter what was in them. It doesn't really seem to make sense for a drink with 8 different alcohols in it to cost the same as a drink with 3. I ordered a vodka cranberry hoping for a cheaper drink, and it was $15 and HEAVILY watered down. The drinks are also given in flimsy and small plastic cups. It was not a very great experience to drink here.
The first time I went I was ignored by the bar staff for a solid 10-15 minutes waiting to ask a question about bowling as the staff continuously walked passed. I gave up on asking my question.
Unfortunately, I don't think I will be coming here again. Even told my friends not to come here when they visit Vegas. I really wish I could like this bar, especially because of the ~special claw machine~ but I don't think I can.

The guys working at the door were very unprofessional and disrespectful.
I stopped by The Nerd Bar and was told by one staff member that I couldn’t bring in my water, but that I could get another one at the bar for free. I complied with the rule and went to the bar for another water. While I was waiting, another person (not in uniform) confronted me about the same rule, but in a very disrespectful way and even mocked me. Professional communication and customer service would have made the experience much better.

Very expensive. decent drinks. Annoying I spend money on the jukebox only to learn it doesn't even control the music, so why even have it?? just to steal my money I guess lol
