| - I heard about Insert Coins through word of mouth. The concept is great - an arcade AND lounge/bar? It's definitely a walk through memory lane. They have all sorts of games - from PacMan to Mortal Kombat and PINBALL machines.
I have to give these guys props - I never would have thought to do something as ingenious as this. What's cool is that there are also TVs set up at the bar with some of the latest video games and consoles, so you're not just restricted to the games of yesteryear (although, let's face it, those are the most fun!)
Drinks were relatively reasonably priced (I say this comparing it to some bars/clubs I've been to in Cali, though, I'm sure some Vegas ones are more expensive), ranging from $6-$10, depending on what you ordered. There's a change machine that is a bit fickle, so having your own quarters on hand is useful! There's also a DJ and lounge area that people can dance in!
Overall, great atmosphere, a fun walk down memory lane, and the only place I know where you can get drunk and play with a joy stick at the same time! ;] Be aware though - it can get crowded. I arrived at around 9:30 on a Saturday and by 11, there was a huge line of people waiting to get in!
Note: There is free parking at El Cortez with validation and is relatively nearby! :]
