The Namco Arcade

Super gross and full of malfunctioning games. Just walk on by! PS — outside food/​drinks aren’t allowed. You have to leave your drink by the cashier or throw it away.
We’re on vacation with my little cousin. We’d previously had a bad experience at the arcade inside Excalibur. Since we’re staying at the Green Valley Ranch, we thought we’d skip the hassle of the Strip and just check out the in-​house arcade. Big mistake.
For $ 10, I think we got to play nine games, three of them being two-​player ones. Everything is two tokens or four tokens. We encountered a few issues as far as games eating our tokens or the air hockey table not turning on. One of the racing games kept malfunctioning and slamming my car into the wall when I was holding the wheel perfectly straight, which was annoying. After the third machine ate our tokens, we didn’t bother with finding an attendant. They were friendly, but we shouldn’t have to do that. I think by selling us tokens and having a game on the floor, you’re telling me it works. Not my job to let you know which machines are broken.
This place looks really sad. We saw at least three machines that were powered off or were missing parts. Some of the games we tried were sticky and gross. We had such a bad experience that we didn’t even attempt to turn in the tickets we won because the prize case looked sad. We convinced the little guy that we’ll come back and win more. .. not.

Expensive, prizes for tickets are pretty lame. Will never come here again — what a waste of money!
