Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Player 1 Video Game Bar for its incredible value, extensive collection of retro arcade and console games, and fun, themed drink menu. It's praised as a unique and nostalgic spot away from the Strip's chaos, offering hours of entertainment for a low cover charge. Some find the food to be just okay, and the drink prices can add up if not mindful.
"An awesome chill vibe. My husband and I visited on a Tuesday evening, not many people there, which is perfect for us. We are not one for big crowds. So we were able to play all the games at least once. It was a so retro and quaint. Loved the fact that they mix new with old arcades and new console games. Such a great blast to the past with their vintage arcade games. And the price was so cheap. All u pay is the cover and play about 90% od their games for free. If you drink they have a huge selection of alcohol and beers of all kinds. Decently priced. Totally a must do if you are like us and don't like to be on the strip chaos."

"I enjoyed my time here celebrating with a friend. It wasn't busy in the early part of the opening hours, but became lively inside and outside the venue by 7pm.
Fun fact: this venue used to be a Big 5 Sporting Goods store.
Console video games all across the walls and by the bar. Watched some people playing fighting games. Arcade games and pinball closer by the entrance. Too many beers and drinks to choose from.
Surprising variety of games, all free to play, except pinball which is $0.75 a game for 3 balls. Loved seeing older games I haven't seen before, like SEGA's SubRoc 3D, a game that showed 1982 (I think) on the screen. Sturdy controls on that machine. Plus, older non-digital arcade games like Defender.
Tried the mocktails, Vice City, Hadouken, and Potion of Health. Hadouken was most tart. Service was great too.
Overall, if you want to try games, it's great. $6.50 cover for locals, free to play is great. Fun drink menu can add up quick. Haven't tried the food, but they have some. I had a pleasant time chilling and time flew by."

"Awesome location for arcade games, retro bar and pinball. Very good price for value. Pay a small entry fee (~5 bucks) and play all games for free. Only pinball cost a dollar per play - but therefore you get new and well maintained machines. Many people stay here for hours having some drinks and lots of fun with the games. Food is ok for a snack, but I prefer eating elsewhere before I come here."
