    My grandmother lived in Tahoe growing up so we used to come every weekend. Now I bring my own kids a couple times out the year so they can have Tahoe memories too! We came across this arcade walking and sight seeing and it was just so nostalgic to see all the arcade games from my generation! The prices are way better than the casino arcade and had a much better selection of games! You pay a fee to get in and get to play the games all day long! This is amazing and wish there was something like this when I was a kid. We happen to peek in the window right when someone came to open up the place. I didn't catch his name but super friendly and allowed us to take a tour of the inside! Of course once the kids got a peek they wanted to stay and play! Love the color schemes and plenty of seating out front! This is such a great idea and definitely a great location! I would highly recommend this for your kiddos or adults who are kids at heart to enjoy some good arcade fun! We definitely will be back again when in town!

    This place ROCKS! Great machines and other games - best flashback experience in an arcade. Excellent tunes too. The proprietor is awesome and friendly. Great Unlimited Play deals so pay one price and you can play from open to closing time and come and go in between. I'll take this over the casinos ANY day... and I did! Wake up your inner Pinball Wizard at the Retroactive Arcade!

    Throw back fun! $55 for 1 adult 2 kids unlimited play on Christmas Eve 2025! They were open 2p-10p even through Christmas break/storms. Great place to bypass traffic. Don't forget the outdoor patio games. The bathroom wins for best in show! No food--concession stand for junk food/candy only. Dogs welcome. They have dog bed and water bowls. Games were in good, working condition. Hand sanitizer at every game.

    cool off-road racing game they have, very fun

We arrived a little before 12 pm and were greeted by an employee. For the golf course selection, there are 3 options to choose from (but one course was currently closed). We ended up choosing to do the castle course, which has 28 holes. I had cash in my purse so we paid for a smaller discount of $20 per person. If you pay credit card, it would have been $20.60 per person (I am assuming for the credit card fee?). We were given our clubs and 2 colored golf balls. And the employee who checked us in had told us that there is a hole where the mill is not working. The motor to power it is not working but that we can slowly pushing it towards where she is and it should work. The castle themed course is very cute and we really enjoyed seeing each hole, which some of them were really challenging. Some of the holes were also really well constructed and decorated, including the one with a ship and a giant goldfish. We golfed here for about an hour. And I am happy to say that I ended up with the smaller amount of strokes (just by a margin though). Although this course has 28 holes, you only golf with 27 holes. And then for the last one, you come back inside where you paid for your admission and put it in one of two machines. I placed my golf ball into what looks like a plinko style game (which reminds me of The Price Is Right show). But I don't know if I was supposed to try to win something or not or just to watch it make it's way down to one of three holes. And then my husband placed his ball in the other machine that looks like a slot machine. Overall, we had a great time and am glad we were able to make it out here.

    My husband and I have stayed at Bally's Lake Tahoe many times, and the main reason we keep coming…read moreback is because of the incredible people who work there, especially Patrick Teagues. Patrick is, without question, the best Casino Host and Player Development Manager we have ever worked with. He consistently goes above and beyond to make us feel valued, appreciated, and genuinely welcomed. Every interaction with him is professional, warm, and personal. Whenever we email to request a reservation, Patrick responds immediately and always asks if there is anything else he can do to make our trip special. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to guest service are truly exceptional. He has a remarkable ability to make every guest feel like a VIP. Bally's Lake Tahoe is our favorite casino destination, and Patrick is a huge reason why. He is the kind of employee who creates loyal customers and lasting relationships. Quite honestly, we would follow Patrick anywhere because of the outstanding level of service he provides. Bally's, please know what a treasure you have in Patrick. He represents the very best of hospitality, and my husband and I are incredibly grateful for everything he does to make our visits so memorable. Thank you, Patrick, for always making us feel so special!

    An aging hotel that has been left to slowly fall apart…read more It's actually very sad to witness. In this massive property with over 400 rooms, you'll find outdated spaces, worn furniture, dark and dingy hallways, dirty windows, hard old towels, thin bedding, lumpy pillows, and beds on the firm side. Even the plants outside have stopped being watered and left to die. Ice machines are broken on multiple floors, so you end up wandering around to other floors in the hopes of one working. The indoor pool has a bit of a Hefner grotto vibe but is constantly packed with screaming kids. It's as if someone told management just to keep the lights on because nothing else matters. Prices swing wildly: sometimes just over $100, but on busy weekends they shoot past $600. Then they tack on a $27 nightly resort fee and another $20 for self parking. Truly delusional fees for what you get. I've stayed here several times only because the rooms are comped. I would never pay to sleep here. There are plenty of wonderful hotels, and even motels, in the area that don't charge bogus resort & parking fees. The online room photos are heavily filtered and don't match reality once you check in. A few positives: the rooms are spacious at over 400 sq ft, and some have minor upgrades like newer bathrooms. There's a Starbucks near the gaming floor, a spa and a few restaurants. I haven't tried them so no opinions there. Overall, this place desperately needs a facelift and real upgrades. Until then, the resort and parking fees should be eliminated. Bally's owners should know better.

Prices are very reasonable. Parking is adjacent and plentiful.

Felt as though cleanliness and hygiene was excellent. No issues. Highly recommended! Come visit!
