GameWorks

Gameworks seems too crowded. Every machine was Taken, so you practically have to fall in line for every game. We went on a Saturday afternoon/​evening time. During the week it’s probably much less busy so at least one game could be playable without having to wait. Had a done in and the service was quick and delicious. No problems with that.
And I felt that there were too many racing games. Not enough 4 player games or FPS. Nice location, great atmosphere.

There is bowling here. It’s not bad, enough space for the families to sit around and hang out. The downfall, there was no one working at the bar within the bowling area. Made it difficult for everyone to look after their belongings and children while ordering food and drinks. lol. Enjoy the ugly neon shoes.
I did however like the pretzels with spicy cheese dip.
Highlight: the photobooth. Spend forever personalizing your photos. Fun!

Here’s the thing I’ve never really experienced GameWorks before, even back when it was on the Strip, and I’ve never been to a Dave and Busters so all of this is new to me. Anyways I’ve been to this location more than a few times and honestly I like it.
They have a bowling alley, a bar and restaurant, lots of arcade games, you can earn tickets and redeem them for prizes, billiard tables, lots of screens to catch a sports game playing, and even computer and console games area. You can play at the billiards tables for $ 5 an hr.
Food is your usual bar food I guess there’s pizzas, burgers, chicken tenders, sandwiches, salads, etc. They even have a deal where certain items on the menu comes with an hr play of the arcade for like $ 15 and you can use the cards anytime for 1 hr straight. I kind of have been stashing them cause I have 3 cards.
Seems like a great place for families and people of all ages. Haven’t had a bad experience yet and customer service has always been great. I’ll definitely be back.

Honestly every time I go here the games are always broken and take my credits. It makes me sad. I also feel that the games take way too many credits to play especially for them to be broken. I always think «hey lets go to gameworks» and then I realize how bad it is everytime hahaha. Granted I hate chuck e cheese but it’s way better as far as games go it also feels more liberating with actual tickets in your hand. I do prefer the people at gameworks VS chuck e cheese because it’s flooded with little kids. Anyways Gameworks is ok… I guess lol

Facility is similar to a Dave and Busters but with a larger arcade area and a bar instead of restaurant.
Games: Okay selection. Typical games like carnival style, ticket winning games, arcade racing, two rhythm, very few Japanese games
People: Family and children. The kids are fine, parents have them in line as best they can. Something about the place and the energy causes the parents to be very impatient. They are only interested with their kids and they will interrupt your game if their kids want to play. That happen twice in one visit.
Arcade is for family which is great but the parents aren’t gamers and have zero gaming ettique
Staff: Attentive and do what they must. About what you expect.
Come here if you have children. Maybe if you want to go from machine to machine. Not if you want to progress in the game or beat it.

I had a blast! We got the groupon deal for $ 20 which included unlimited interactive game play and a $ 10 play card. So much fun!
I hadn’t been to a game works in years and I was pleasantly surprised with this location. Lots of fun games, clean, friendly service and open until midnight. Good times. Definitely will be back again.

Fuck GameWorks. It sucks. Arcade games are old and broken. Video game system sucks. Rental system uses stupid collateral system. Fucking card system sucks. Fucking GameWorks sucks.

This is a great place for kids of all ages to play a wide variety of arcade games, ranging from high-​end video games (sit inside of a capsule, with wrap-​around screens) right down to those silly games you find at other venues that spit out paper tickets you can redeem for nearly worthless prizes. Needless to say, there’s something here for everyone, including even gaming consoles!
If you’re there over mealtime, there’s also a bar and a full-​service restaurant within the facility. We didn’t partake at the bar, so I’ll leave that for others to review. The food was average at best, and the although the hostess and waitstaff were friendly, it was very clear that none of them were enthusiastic about being there. Even with a lot of open tables, it took over 30 minutes to seat our party, and when they did, the tables were cleared but still dirty. It appeared everyone wanted to be working somewhere else, or not at all. This strikes me as odd since GameWorks is located in Town Square and is essentially surrounded by other dining options. With average food and below average staff, and access to a big variety of food within just a few minutes walking distance, it seems GameWorks might want to stick to its primary purpose and make better use of the space by putting in a small snack bar, and using the rest of the floor space for more games.
I’ll definitely go back with my son to play more games, but we won’t eat there again. No point paying the price for decent food but being served mediocre food when there are so many other options right there. So go to game, not to eat.

The arcade in Gameworks has a lot of variety it seems like a very fun atmosphere you get good credits and enough to play almost every game once for $ 20 so this I really enjoy.
As for Gameworks food… They have horrible service. I ordered three separate items and out of the three separate items I received only two then on top of all of that they didn’t give me any napkins, ketchup or any other condiments the table was completely blank I didn’t get my napkins until I was halfway through my food and the waitress saw that my hands were greasy. Overall Gameworks is a good arcade place but I as for the food service They should really pay a lot of attention to it. if Gameworks wants to compete with Dave and busters they they are very low on that totem pole they need a lot of work.

Fun place for drinks, bar food and games with your friends and family. Kids come here for the games too! You play for a card loaded with the amount of tokens of your choice then you swipe your card on the card reader to pay for the games! It eliminates the need to carry change and all your tickets are loaded onto the card too!
A wide variety of games from ski ball to basketball, house of the dead to pin balls!

Pretty cool spot for a night out with friends or a day with the family. There are tons of games, bowling, food and drinks (for the adults). We have been here a few times and each time of course the kids left very happy (and tires, thankfully). They have games for tickets which can be traded in for prizes in the end as well as a room full of computer/​video games. Games for everyone!
They have a few pretty good deals for games only but the one we took advantage of was the unlimited play for an hour with an entrée.
There was some miscommunication between how to purchase the deal and we got sent around to 3 different people so that was a bit frustrating. Only other downfall was the service in the restaurant. We waited for almost 10 minutes before anyone came and greeted us or got our drinks, then another 30 minutes for our food. I’m not a master chef but I don’t think our nachos, cheese pizza and burger takes that long to prepare. Also, our server was leas that attentive. Nonetheless, I know people don’t go there for the food its just an added incentive while you are there to play games!!!
Cool spot again to drink and play games, maybe dine at another nearby establishment though.

I chuckled when I saw that this place is categorized on Unilocal under «Gastropubs.» That’s pretty generous.
I went to GameWorks for a big group dinnertime outing. We didn’t get any special rates, just their Dine & Play combo that’s always available. For $ 14.99, you get one of their time cards loaded for one hour, and one of ten specially labeled items on the menu. It’s also possible to do $ 21.99 for a two-​hour card, but nobody chose that option.
Like some of the others, I went with the Fish & Chips because it’s normally $ 14.50, which is almost the price of the Dine & Play one-​hour deal. I wasn’t expecting much, but the cod fillets were reasonably flavorful. It’s unfortunate that they seemed a little heavy rather than fluffy, and the batter wasn’t as crispy as I’d hoped. I chose waffle fries for the side rather than mashed potatoes or salad, neither of which can really be called chips. The fries were decently seasoned and generally had a decent crisp and some fluffiness, but I’ve had better.
I also sampled the GameWorks Nachos (normally $ 12) with steak (+$ 3). I suppose that the meat could be construed as «ground steak» instead of ground beef. Nothing in the dish was anything special. I even prefer the TGI Friday’s nachos over this.
I should note that they handled service for our rather massive table (20+ people) just fine, with constant replacement of water pitchers too. although condiments (notably ketchup for my fries) were a bit delayed.
As for the arcade, I only partook in one round of DDR Supernova 2 because I’d handed off my card to a friend while playing pool ($ 13/​hr Sun-​Thu 4pm-​close, but I think they weren’t too strict on the one hour). The pool tables and cues seemed decent enough, although someone noted that one of the rails seemed to be a bit dead. Anyway, from what I saw my friends play, the arcade had a nice selection of shooting games, air hockey, a crazy souped up Pac-​Man inspired version of air hockey, some rhythm games, and some racing games. I’ve seen worse arcades for sure.
I should note that all the TVs were set to the Monday Night football game, with audio available seemingly everywhere in the building. This was fun for casual fans and for vocal Cowboys fans alike. They also have a football game-​day food promo that I believe was $ 35 for a large (16″) one-​topping pizza, 35 wings, a pitcher of soda (or +$ 5 for a pitcher of beer), and one-​hour game cards at $ 5 per person. I also noticed that they offer $ 10 unlimited gaming on Thursdays 5pm-​close and immediately wished that the social had taken place then. Oh well.
I don’t foresee myself coming back very soon, but GameWorks has some potential appeal for arcade gaming. Just don’t expect too much from the food and you’ll be fine.

I would originally give them 3 stars but after taking advantage of their new deal they offer on Thursdays, I would definitely say 4 stars! This deal I’m talking about is $ 10 for UNLIMITED game playing from 5pm-​Close on Thursdays! Awesome! I feel like they read everyone’s mind because it would always be kind of pricey to play before, I feel like $ 20 goes so fast here and I bet that’s true for a lot of parents as well. So Thursdays is the way to go! The only catch is that the games that offer tickets, well you can still play them but they don’t give you tickets. Makes sense, $ 10 is such a steal and then you get free prizes too? No way haha That’s no problem for me since I don’t really care about the prizes but that definitely could be an issue for the little ones.
My favorites are the football throwing game, skeeball, air hockey, mario kart and this other game that you knock down clowns with balls in an alotted amount of time. Also out of all of the games offered I think there were only 2 out of order so that’s not too bad. As for the unlimited game play, you can’t use your card at the photobooth but I didn’t have a problem using it with anything else. Overall, I probably would only come here Thursdays now, I’ll definitely be back!

Cool place for my 9 year old son. On the pricey side. He was excited, we loaded $ 20 on his card and he blew through that in less than 45 minutes! The bowling alley looked nice we didn’t bowl this time, however we did check it out for a potential birthday party site.
Overall we enjoyed it, would love it if it were more reasonably priced.

It’s hard to have a good first-​time experience somewhere when it starts off terribly. We approached the host stand and waited for Destiny, the young hostess. This girl should not be the first person guests encounter when they walk in. She is completely tactless. She started every sentence «Okay well…» «Here is what’s gunna happen…» «yeah well…»
Not to mention her constantly leaving the stand to talk in a huddle with her other rude coworkers who I over heard talking about how some new employee wouldn’t last and would be gone within a week. So rude! Someone needs to remove her from that hostess stand immediately. I would write a review on everything else but who cares about anything else if the customer service stinks?!

Reserved my sister’s birthday party online a week and a half in advanced. To secure your booking, they call you and get your card info & charge you half of what’s due for a deposit.
When they called me about the bowling party (it took a few times for us to finally get in touch) they asked me to pick two colors for party décor. 3 days before the party, they ask if we want to add any other guests or party platters.
The party was $ 25/​kid and included 90 minutes of bowling, shoe rental, party décor, pizza, cookies, & soft drinks. Each person who RSVPd also got a one hour game card that they could start whenever they wanted, as long as it was the day of the party.
There was a lot of seating & tables for all of the guests. There was even a separate table for presents. Our party of ~20 kids got 3 lanes to bowl. The food that came with the package was good enough for the kids + a few parents. The only extra food we ordered were nachos.
Ebony was our server and she was so patient and friendly with our big group of 8 – 11 year olds.
A few things you should know:
The party does not come with invites; however the manager Janai sent me their logo to work with for some ‘DIY’ invites.
Their goodie bags are very pricey at $ 5/​kid, but again, Janai kindly let us bring our own.
Overall, the experience was a fun one and I wouldn’t have booked anywhere else this year.

I remember having so much fun when Gameworks was on The Strip back in the 90’s but they closed their doors for reasons I can’t remember. But they oepened at Town Square a few decades later… now, I feel ancient.
The initial scent of sweaty gym socks and piss as soon as you walk in only lasts about 5 minutes then, you get used to the smell. To the left, is an area where you can pick out your prize and to the right is a virtual gaming room for those who love PC games. Straight ahead are arcade games, circus games, simulators, Air Hockey, photo booth, etc. To the right and towards the back are private rooms for events and parties. At the very back is the bar/​restaurant.
I’ve been here for a work function and so, we were in a private room. I was pleasantly surprised by the food they served us: chicken marsala, salads, braised beef with veggies, and funnel cakes. They also had more items on the menu. I was expecting pizza, fries, nachos, hotdogs and other junk. We had 2-​hour game cards — those don’t work on games that could instantly win you a prize (like those machines with claws that grab a toy) and the photobooth. Your time starts dwindling down as soon as you use it.
I felt the need to re-​live my youth and play games that I loved as a kid: Street Fighter (hadouken! Tiger uppercut! Sonic boom! Face bite! Helicopter kick!), Air Hockey, DDR and of course, Super Shot — that basketball shooting game. I would spend hours playing Super Shot… that has not changed the few times I’ve been to Gameworks. I get so into it like you don’t even know. Sweat, focus, hand-​eye coordination and a little tippy toe so i could see where the ball is going. I got hit on the head with a loose basketball by the kid 2 spaces away from me and I’m still going. I’d wake up the next day with my shoulders and calves feeling sore — but oh my gosh, it’s so fun! I got people watching me when I play — I’m either such a badass at playing or there isn’t a free hoop to shoot.
I tried all of the other games when I got tired. I got challenged to play Air Hockey by my sister and a few other people — I owned every single one of them.
But what I’d like to know is: what is that green phallic thing they have for prizes?

Saw a Groupon special for these guys. 20 bucks for an all day play card plus a 10 dollar gift card. I immediately grabbed 2 of them for my 2 boys ages 13 and 10. Thought it was an awesome deal until we showed up on a saturday. Yes I can understand that it was gonna be busy because of the fact that it was a saturday but that’s not my gripe.
My gripe is that a lot of the games were not working. I would say about 40 percent were out of order. Even some of the newer games like the tank one my youngest noticed you can only go forward and cannot reverse so he was stuck behind a wall the whole game not able to do anything but get shot at. Another gripe is that other parents had the same idea so of course my kids had to wait for their kids to get off a game once they ran out of lives but in most cases, they would just keep swiping their card basically just hogging the game the whole time. There should be some kind of limit on how many times you can continue on an all day play pass for they can literally stay on a game the whole day which is rude in my opinion.
I also understand that since we had the unlimited play card it wouldnt generate any game tickets for obvious reasons. This did not bother me at all. Again, since some of the games were out of order, the kids tried to make the most of it. Even the standard interactive games like the basketball shot one only 4 out of the 6 was working but technically only 2 was worthy of playing due to those having a decent amount of balls to play with while the others had only 2 or 3. Looking around I saw some of the balls were stuck on top of the actual arcade.
After about 90 minutes of playing the same games over and over again my kids were bored already to the point they just wanted to go home. Memo to the Gameworks staff. Dont you guys have some kind of technician that is on the clock repairing those games that are broke? At least a person that can keep the basketballs in order on the basketball arcade?
I am so disappointed from our visit that I dont see any reason to come back here. You guys should change your name to «Gameswork». Because after coming here I am left scratching my head thinking do any of the «Games Work?»
Unilocal 2015 Review #36 «Gameworks…Sometimes.»
535 overall

Came for the midnight event for League of Legends world finals. Extremely organized event, unlimited gaming with the purchase of the event ticket, and free food. Count me in!
The company is always adding new games. Last time I went there (last week), I found a new Kung Fu Panda game which was ridiculously fun.
There’s a pretty good computer/​lan center that hosts video game and computer game tournaments. I’m pretty sure they do Hearthstone tournaments every other Sunday.
The one thing I’m still wondering is when I signed up for «four free hours» of computer time during the midnight League of Legends of event, I never received those free hours the next time I came back.
Other than that, there are a good amount of games to win tickets and the prizes are great if you have a kid. I’ve already won a giant care bear for my daughter.
Finally, almost forgot, there is bowling. I believe there were 8 lanes. The games are not expensive and you can order food there.
Great place for kids and adults.

Oh Gameworks! I have been here a couple of times but I finally got to try the food and drinks. The food wasn’t bad at all. We had a sliders trio and loaded fries! Our alcoholic drinks (blueberry martini and Moscow mule) were terrible and tasted like rubbing alcohol. The prices for the food was reasonable.
On to the games:
They have this crazy LAN center that takes up way too much space. This place is always crowded and none of the games are available and when they are they are sooooooo fun!
Overall, this is a cute date night place and stray away from the drinks unless it’s a beer :)
