| - Oh insert coins...I guess I expected too much from you. I do love the concept of place, but the over priced games just flipped my frown way upside down. My favorite game of all time, Asteroids, resides here but I was disappointed that it took 50 cents instead of the usual 25 I've always paid for it. Anyways, it wasn't just that they jacked up the price on my favorite game but that the machines don't really work properly, essentially jacking your money because their buttons stick or the joystick doesn't maneuver right. I'd had this problem on a few occasions and on different games. Usually, I just end up getting frustrated with the machines and head over to their dance area, where they place good to decent music on the nights I've been there.
Other than the inconvenience of some of their machines, they also have newer games set up in booths with big flat screens. This I find awesome and entertaining but I am not really much of a gamer so I just enjoy to watch. Recently, I've seen Mortal Combat, Fifa, and Madden being played from the tvs (that's for you gamers who are interested). Drinks are kind of on the pricey side. I could go across the street to the bar at El Cortez and get drinks for 3-4 dollars cheaper. Other than that, I've heard they have a nickle beer Tuesday! That I will be checking out soon.
Quick tip: Pinball arcade is still my favorite place for old, well maintenance arcade games. Cheaper, greater selection of games, but minus the alcohol.
