Player 1 Video Game Bar - Las Vegas

I did some research before my trip to Las Vegas in hopes to find a cool barcade to check out. This one did not disappoint! It is off the strip but not a bad Uber ride if you are staying on the strip. For $8 you get entry (21+) and have unlimited play of anything in the bar. Games range from old school arcade to classic consoles to current consoles. It's hard to beat playing the new MK1 at the bar on the projector screen while having a cold draft beverage. They have an impressive selection of beers, ciders and even mead. Video game themed cocktails are also available. Drinks are reasonably priced. I can't remember the name of the bartender when I was there, but he was super helpful and nice to talk to! I only wish I had more time to enjoy the drinks and games, as we were in a time crunch before dinner reservations. I will be making another visit next time for sure!

Player One: A Gamer's Sanctuary in the Heart of Sin City! If you're a gaming enthusiast like me, Player One is the ultimate oasis you've been searching for in Las Vegas. This video game bar is nothing short of spectacular, earning every one of its five stars. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a gamer's wonderland. The decor is a nostalgic trip down memory lane, with classic arcade cabinets lining the walls and iconic gaming memorabilia on display. It's like a museum for video game history, and it sets the perfect tone for what's to come. The gaming selection available is truly impressive. It features a range of games, from classic titles such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong to newer games like Tekken, Streetfighter, and Time Crisis - my personal favorites. Whether you prefer retro or modern games or enjoy playing solo or with others, you're sure to find something here that suits your tastes. Additionally, the staff is highly knowledgeable and always willing to assist you in selecting the perfect game to match your mood. Now, let's talk about the cocktails and food. The menu is a gamer's dream come true, with drinks and dishes inspired by popular games. The "Health Potion" cocktail was a personal favorite, and the "Power-Up Nachos" were a delightful surprise. The team behind the bar and kitchen is just as passionate about gaming as the patrons. What truly sets Player One apart is the atmosphere. It's a place where gamers can come together, connect, and share their love for gaming. The community vibe is fantastic, and I've met some incredible people here. My brother and I had a fantastic time playing PVP on Street Fighter and taking on pinball machines. It's a digital self-deprivation getaway where you can leave your worries at the door and game out for a couple of hours. I highly recommend it! Player One provides an extensive range of activities and entertainment options, such as engaging trivia nights and exhilarating gaming tournaments. This makes it the perfect destination to socialize and connect with individuals who share similar interests, whilst simultaneously indulging in a lively and enjoyable evening with your companions. Overall, Player One has become my go-to spot in Las Vegas. It's a haven for gamers, a place where nostalgia meets the future, and where you're guaranteed a fantastic time. I can't recommend it enough. If you're in Vegas and love gaming, you absolutely must pay a visit to Player One! Five stars, no question. 🎮🍻🕹️

Awesome spot, really awesome. It was my first "barcade" experience. As a retro gamer I was blown away by the selection. There was a couple of gripes a lack of any street fighter 2 games, or not many old school Capcom at all even a final fight would've been nice. But they did have a dance dance Revolution, guitar hero Cabs and a marvel vs Capcom 1 & 2, There are several probably 75 inch tvs behind the bar or rather on-top of the bar displaying ps5 and Xbox whatever the latest one is, playing games like sf6, mk1, fall guys, Mario Kart 8dx, there is alot of old school games I hadn't seen in years like ninja gaiden arcade, commando, and crusin USA. Also pinball machines. I didn't try food so I rated it average, but the booze was readily available. A must if you are a retro gamer in Vegas

Second visit to Player 1 and still in love. As people who visits Vegas often, we come each visit because even though the games the stay same, the service remains top notch and we always find a new gem! Everyone is fun, friendly, and open-welcoming. So grateful this place exists. If you are thinking about coming as an out of towner, COME! All are welcome, and this is one of those local places that we dig into as a third space.
