| - TLDR: This place helps fill the hole left in the city by the closing of the original GameWorks (which the new one my family calls ChicBarWorks), and is our new favorite to-do. We will be going here again!
We didn't even know this place had opened until we saw a billboard. So we decided to have a late night Sunday adventure.
The place was packed and had a long line, but it was moving fast so that didn't deter us. One of the workers even came out with breadsticks to help keep everyone in a good mood. I never saw a place do this before, and it certainly helped keeping my autistic sons and their friend happy.
They have all dining rooms and rides, whereas what my cousin from Victorville was telling me the one she grew up with didn't have as many options.
The plus side about it being busy is that the food is fresher (although the pasta was cold, at least what I had), and the waiters are picking up dishes and trash often. The pumpkin bars are my favorite, and the apple ones are good as well. The brownies and cheesecake were so good (apparently) that they went fast. Managed to get some cheesecake and was disappointed because it tasted more like a sort of instant custard and didn't taste like cheesecake (rest of my group liked it). The staff was also very kind to my boys.
The downside, as expected on both a weekend and night before a holiday-it is so crowded. When people finally get their turn on a game, especially the ones where most rounds are very short, kids seem patient to let that person play more, while the grown ups snort and are rude if the person at the panel wants to play at least one more time. [Welcome to Vegas, we're full of rude people. I don't down vote places for this.]
Also someone's toddler ran off-thankfully the other lady who was next to me when the little girl came up to us was helping me look for the mum and they were reunited before I could bring her to a worker. Be careful of your smallest ones when it's busy!
Again, the cons were because it's a weekend and the night before holiday. So of course it was packed.
Also, it's very cold outside in the city, but very hot in the restaurant. I brought a sweater expecting it to be cold like Chuck E. Cheese's. Just a heads up for others.
