I've had excellent experiences at Sandbox VR in Cerritos, CA, so I wanted to share the Sandbox experience with family at this location at the Grand Canal Shops in Venetian. Chose deadwood mansion and it was fun to kill zombies. Chris and Robert took really good care of us and made sure that our newbies would know exactly what to do. We appreciated that the equipment was sanitized well. Our spouses watched us act like kids and they had almost as much fun as we did! The games can have a maximum of 6 people; therefore, you can have an optimal experience if you have a group size of 4-6 people. For this game, we had 3 people, which made it a little more challenging. I enjoyed sharing the experience with family as they had no idea what to expect and they had a great time. I'd definitely recommend the Sandbox Experience.

3rd time here and it never disappoints! Literally one of the most funniest things to do with your friends and family. First time we did Squid Games,second was Dragons, third was Deadwood Mansion. I for the life of me do not like anything scary but somehow my teenage son pulled me into this game. I don't regret it. It was super intense, my heart dropped the moment the headset put us in the game. I screamed the entire way, I'm sure the people in there were like second guessing themselves hahaha. Make a reservation online, as you will have to wait your allotted time. It's about $65 per person. No age limit required but will have to sign waivers with an adult. You get hooked up two bands for your feet,two for your hands and a vest. You get vibrations, sounds, wind the whole nine yards! The game last about 15-20mins be prepared to sweat and have lots of fun! Customer service has always been top notch. Excited to go again and again until we've done them all!

This is our second time at Sandbox VR at The Venetian. Last time we were here, we played the Amber Sky 2088. This time, we played Squid Game. Awesome Experience, and fun games to play! Definitely recommend trying it!

I've never experienced any virtual gaming before and this was my first experience. It was a lot of fun to do and try for the first time. So they put you in a room with your group and they set you up with sensors on wrists and legs to capture movement in the game. Then they'll put a vest on you thatll supposedly interact and mimic what is happening in the game. It is very much a lot of jump scares and it had me yelling a couple times. Also; apparently they have different games that come out every so often so it's not the same ones all the time. They'll give you a gun of choose and has very small recoil and there's some vibrations that come with it. Overall, It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend if you haven't experienced anything like this before

Family visiting from out of town booked a VR session The Deadwood story line Zombies galore and needed two more players. So me and the wife decided to play the game with them. Our general manager Shad was very informative and friendly. We had a great time playing the game. We will definitely be back again. The other game themes are what we want to play.

I remember coming to Vegas years ago when this place was being built and I was always curious about its potential. Now that I've experienced it, I would highly urge anyone that can to visit this place anytime they come to Vegas. I came in a party of 4 and our tickets were about $60 each which is totally justified. Once all the rules and instructions are explained one of the employees will help you strap on sensors for your arms and legs along with the actual VR helmet. Depending on what game you choose you'll get different accessories which in my case were weapons for a zombie game. Once we were inside everything felt so real and immersive. The employee is there monitoring at all times to make sure everything goes smoothly. The game itself was about 30 minutes which might go by slower or quicker depending on your individual experience. For me the game felt like it was much more than that and blew me away. The zombies felt like they were actually coming for me and I had to remind myself that I was playing a game. Once the game is over you get some free videos of your experience which I love to look back at and laugh at myself and friends. The employee who helped us was Rodrick and he really helped us out throughout everything which I appreciate. He gave us a ton of advice and suggestions and you can just tell he loves what he does. Overall loved the experience and will hopefully come back soon.

Yelp Review 2024 #30: We've been planning an activity for a friend's birthday and everybody's busy for several weekends. When we all agreed on a date, we booked our time slot at Sandbox VR at Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian to do Squid Game. I love the show, most of us have seen the show, and only one person has never seen a single episode. We hit the road in separate cars and we all got stuck in traffic! It turns out Rock and Roll Half Marathon was happening and roads were closed especially Las Vegas Boulevard! It took us over an hour to get to the Venetian. We called Sandbox to let them know we were running late to see if they can bump us 30 minutes later and they were understanding of our situation which was very nice. We all got to Sandbox at the new time except for one friend who ended up by the airport after detour upon detour. We were worried they were going to cancel our spot but they let us play but we just had to finish at a specific time because there's a group after us. We read and signed our waivers on the tablets at the lobby. We got geared up starting with cuffs with ball attachments for our wrists and ankles. We selected our avatars and were taken to a room with black walls and flooring, toy guns on the wall and an ottoman where we could put our stuff in. Got the rest of our gear: the vest that vibrates and VR goggles. And off we went with our Squid Game. But one of our friend's equipment wasn't working so we had to wait so they can reset our game. And then, we played our game. Red Light Green Light was of course one of the games. Other games included Simon Says, Tiles, Shapes, Glass Bridge, Catch, etc. From getting our gear to finishing the game, we spent an hour. Don't overthink it and don't have a strategy like I did - the games are tweaked a bit to make it more fun and to make sure nobody dies in real life. If you die, you're only dead for like 5 seconds then, you can move again and keep going until you die again. In the end, the person who won was the one who had never watched Squid Game! Also, make sure everyone's not talking when the rules of the each is being introduced - that's how I lost the last game! I had no clue what was supposed to happen. So sad! If you have motion sickness, this might not be an activity for you. Drink water and empty your bladder before playing. My friend was soaking in sweat after. They also have a zombie shooting game but I'm not having any of that! Overall, it was a very good time. You get to download videos of your game so you can laugh at yourself.

This venue is inside the Grand Canal Shoppes. You must pay for parking at this venue. It is best to sign up for the time slot before showing up. The time slots can get booked pretty quick. We had to wait 1.5 hours for an open slot. You better show up on time. They will cancel your appointment and keep the money if you are more than 5 minutes late. We made sure to be on time. The games are extremely fun. They put sensors on all your limbs and it is very realistic. I love the pictures and videos at the end. I will return to the Atlanta location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Squid Game session. We were a group of 6, which was the full amount of people that could play in one game. Our host, Adi made everything super easy from describing how to put on our sensors and gear to fixing a couple of glitches during gameplay. The graphics were great. It really felt like you were falling through the floor as they also employed fans to replicate the feel of movement. And I loved that you only got a 6-second timeout when "dying" in the game. Wait a few seconds and you were back in the game. The play lasted for about 45 minutes and we got through 6 games. They put together a small video mix of our VR gameplay and real life views. Super fun and enjoyable. Wear breathable and loose clothing. You will get warm, if not sweaty. This location is in the canal area across the bridge from the main plaza area where many of the restaurants are located.

Sandbox VR is located on the Venetian side in the grand canal shops. It was my first time checking this place out and it was easy to do. We walked right inside and asked for availability and had to maybe wait for an hour or so. You can also make reservations before time but we just didn't know what day we had free. It was intense there are different types of play and we picked a zombie one which was kind of scary for me. You are in a large room with a group of players. Walking with the VR headsets and somewhat of a backpack on you. Shooting all the zombies was intense because some wouldn't die because they were the bigger ones. Had a blast with our friends and I would totally do other ones as well!

Had a reservation. Walked for 30min. Called 3 times and talked to 3 different ppl, got different directions from each person. Absolutely ridiculous. They had to move my reservation to another time and changed the game, from over 2 min behind, because of their mistake. SMH, horrible 1st experience. Then waited 7min behind our new time for other players, did not end up playing and they refused to give a refund. Will not be coming back to this place or recommending.
