For us, The Big Apple Coaster and Arcade<\/a> is the best arcade in Las Vegas. But it\u2019s not the vast 32,000 square feet of gaming space that puts it at the top of our list. And it\u2019s not the 200+ games, including skeeball, old-time arcade games and NBA Game Time machines (which are a personal favorite – the best arcade games in Las Vegas if you ask me!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Heck, it\u2019s not even Nathan\u2019s Hot Dog Stand or the cute little cocktail bar that opens up at night. It\u2019s the giant friggin\u2019 roller coaster with top speeds of almost 70 mph over a 200-foot drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Big Apple Pack gets you four coaster tickets, four T-shirts, 400 arcade credits, 400 redemption points for some arcade swag, and four Nathan\u2019s hot dogs. They even throw in a giant plushie, all for just $149.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Big Apple Coaster and Arcade is located inside the New York New York Casino, and there’s plenty of signage to get you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Opening Hours:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Coming in at the number two spot is Midway Arcade<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, for the sake of full disclosure, there are clowns here. Lots of clowns. We get it; it’s a Circus Midway theme, but still! Apart from that, this Las Vegas arcade has some great coasters and rides, some incredible circus acts like a trapeze show, and many circus-type games like balloon bust that you won\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are 25 different rides here, primarily aimed at the tweens and under set, though you\u2019ll need to be at least 33 inches tall to get on any of the rides. Personal favorites include Canyon Cars (bumper cars) and Slingshot (self-explanatory), though the El Loco coaster is also a blast. There are also 200+ arcade and video games, laser tag, VR rides, and a 3D theater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pro tips for parents, Circus Circus still has free parking, and there is a nice bar here with alcoholic drinks. The wrist passes are $60 for adults and $30 for kids all day, which can be a pretty reasonably priced day in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some rides and activities are separate from the pass, so walk around and see what everyone may be interested in riding before deciding if it\u2019s the best value for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is mandatory picture-taking at the entry, which is just a way of separating gullible tourists from their hard-earned money. Take a pic with your phone and print it on photo paper when you return home and spend the $33 you saved on the claw machines. You can thank us later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Adventure Dome, as Circus Circus has taken to calling it, is open daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Opening Hours:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe you’ve been asking yourself, how can I take the kids to one of the best arcades in Las Vegas while also seeing some medieval jousting and magic? We\u2019ve all been there, and Fun Dungeon<\/a> is your answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Situated right next to the world-famous Excalibur Tournament of Kings venue, this fun arcade has many options for kids of all ages. Like our two previous arcade picks, Fun Dungeon has over 200+ coin-op games, ranging from centipede to the carousel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a 3D theater, and a Dairy Queen or an Orange Julius should you work up an appetite. While there are no gravity-defying roller coasters or carnival rides here, what does set the Fun Dungeon apart is that at 6:00 and 8:30 most nights, a portal opens to the Renaissance ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Tournament of Kings dinner show features a three-course meal while watching Merlin and his pals put on a medieval-era jousting tournament. There are no animatronic horses or knights here; it’s all done with live animals and people inside a 900-seat theater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a jaw-dropping spectacle for the kids and a long-time best of Las Vegas show winner. Dinner tickets start at just $49, and the show is closed on Tuesdays and the occasional Wednesday. Kids under three go for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Opening Hours:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
