Decent arcade kids can visit to pass the time while the adults are playing in Vegas. My family and I haven't visited New York-New York since 10 years ago since it's part of the older strip, but I was impressed by New York-New York's ability to keep up its appearances. With the newer and trendier hotels, it is probably a challenge to remain competitive but there's something about visiting these older hotels that reminds you of growing up in the '90s.
New York-New York's Coney Island arcade, for one, does a good job of updating its games while maintaining its theme. I noticed that the games did not appear outdated. In fact, there were a few recent additions such as the Star Wars theater-like single-player game. It was pretty cool; players actually have to sit down in an enclosed space and the screen was basically a mini-IMAX screen.
Everything is handled electronically these days. No surprise that paper tickets don't exist anymore; it's all accumulated on the card. I wonder if kids nowadays even know what arcade tickets look like... Another convenient aspect of this arcade is that you can load credits to your card using credit! Yes! Solely credit card users would SO appreciate this arcade.
