| - Since the Laser Quest in Las Vegas opened in 1998 or 1999, this has been one of my favorite places in the valley to hang out and have a good time.
Admittedly, I did have a lot more fun playing the game when I was between the ages of 12-18 since it's such a great place to hang out for high-schoolers and middle-schoolers, but I still have a blast every time I go....otherwise I wouldn't be coming back after playing thousands of games!
I can't exactly remember how much games are running for these days, but I will say this. If you like the first game you play and you plan to play a lot, buy a membership. It saves you money every time you play, and it adds up quickly if you get really into it.
This particular version of the game is very simple and enjoyable for a couple of reasons.
1) There isn't a heat sensor on the bottom of the gun that you have to hold while you shoot. This is incredibly convenient because I like to shoot with one hand sometimes.
2) There aren't any bases around the arena you can shoot to get extra points so you can focus on just running around shooting the other players.
3) There are plenty of targets on each pack to shoot people....shoulders, front, back, the sides of the laser gun and down the barrel of the gun. It gives you so much stuff to aim for!
4) The maze is wicked cool and HUGE. There are three towers you can shoot from as well as an extensive floor space. The mirrors on the walls are also fun to bounce shots off of and sometimes you can catch people by surprise with them
Once a month, they do a lock-in event from 11:45PM-6AM where you can pretty much play as many games as you want in those hours. It's a fantastic deal and a great time. In addition, they sometimes play different types of games instead of the free-for-all games you get during normal business hours.
They also have a handful of video games out in the lobby to play while you're waiting for the game.
Admittedly, I haven't tried Battle Blast yet, but this is probably the best laser tag you'll find in town. Most definitely light years ahead of the horrible equipment they have at the Adventuredome at Circus Circus.
Come down and have fun!
