    Going in.

    Absolutely the best claw experience in Las Vegas!! People are friendly, the place is busy and everyone is smiling. That in itself is a WIN!!

    It's a cool claw arcade playroom located not far away from the strip, and they have ample parking in a large plaza. It's clean inside, staff working here are very friendly. Although their exchange program is confusing, and some of their machines are deliberately set you up for failure. I believe that it's acceptable for 3~10 attempts per plushie, and for those skillful players, they can get one plushie when spending every 1~2 tokens. I spent $50 for 65 tokens, and got 9 plushies in the end. I'm not a very skillful player for claw machines, but on average 5 tokens per plushie is not too bad as a result of 40 tokens for 8 plushies, of course excluding the outlier example. Some machines are more fun to play, as you can tell the claw grabs are holding tighter, but not the same case for all machines for sure, some tender to be very loose and broken. For example, the claw machine for the triangle sponge bob is cursed. It costed me 25 tokens to get one plushie, and the machine is sort of broken. The claw didn't even go down after I only tapped it once, the malfunction happened quite a few times during my play, very frustrating. I played it the same way as I played all other machines here. I told the staff about the issue, but they couldn't fix it. Overall, I still had a fun experience here, but it's disappointing their machines are not in the consistent conditions, and I hope they can make improvements.

    We have gone to a few claw machine places, but I think this location is our favorite so far because the machines felt fair. There is skill involved where you need to make sure the sensor hits the middle of the toy and that the claw is positioned over the stuffed animal in a way where it grabs it securely. But if you did both those things, the claw didn't randomly open and drop the toy. You would win it! So I think these claw machines are how they are supposed to work where your skill of grabbing it properly helps you win the toy, not the randomness of some machines where it's like slots and luck regardless of whether you grabbed the toy properly. The service here was also amazing. 2 of the 3 people there were really friendly and helped teach you how to pick things up properly. You still had to do it yourself, but they were kind enough to give tips. I also saw them walking around and repositioning the stuff animals so it gave everyone a fair shot to win. We did $20 for 23 tokens. Each machine is one token. We won 8 toys and were there for about an hour. The toys are cute and good quality! They have recognizable characters like Garfield and monsters inc, etc. my kids wanted to win a SpongeBob they saw in the wall, but that wasn't a stuffy option. Maybe next time. Haha. It was a little crowded when we went because it was a weekend, but we didn't find it hard to play the machines we wanted. Parking was also easy to find and the location was clean. We could recommend this place for those of you who like the claw!

    So much fun with Ohana

    My cousin wanted to check out a the Claw Arcade end cousins foodie tour. I kind of heard about arcade place popping up in Vegas. It basically six more different ones u can play with different rewards. U move crane to spot think going hood the prize and hope hood on before goes over the exit hole. I remember playing these games at Fun factory or Tilt. Stay from 808 u know. We all felt like kid again and that excitement or challenge. U get tokens play from machine. Rates different think $20 get the most so got us $20 worth of tokens. Believe it one per drop. Great about the play is they really want u have good time. They walk around if see struggle open it rearrange one that no way not going won prize. Cool. Trust it can get hell of frustrating play it enough. The place is small but we went only one family with kids. The kids having awesome time. If looking something different to do in Vegas and off the strip. The Claw Arcade is lot of fun!!!

    Wall of fun and good times!

    Super friendly staff and fun! The kids had a blast and they had some new games I hadn't seen before. Great value for the money and not your typical claw machine arcade!

    First time here and it's such a fun place for all ages. There are many claw machines for you to play on and a variety of plushies to choose from. You can buy the tokens at the front or through the dispenser in the store. The employees are very helpful and will rearrange them to help you win. Kiana helped us win many Pokémon! She was great and sweet! You can trade up the plushies for larger prizes. I would highly recommend bringing kids here for a fun time in Vegas.

    andy w.

    Lots of selections and the ability to trade! Very popular spot and strongly recommend you to give it a try!

    Amazing place in Las Vegas, we love it. Will come back next visit. A lot of fun they've a lot of cute stuff.

    Marcus S.

    This place was a lot of fun. There was a variety of plushies to try and win, and you can trade in X amount of plushies to get bigger ones. This place had a very friendly staff, it is very clean, and had an overall great ambiance with several places to take pictures. They had some other games other than the typical claw machines to win bigger prizes where you had to do things like roll dice, but we didn't really play those. You could also play for little trinkets like keychains. We paid $110 which got us 145 plays, played for about 30 minutes, and won 14 plushies (12 we traded in for a bigger one). You're not going to win each play, unless you got it like that, so don't come in expecting to win each time or you won't have a good time. We came in with the mindset of just having fun and it was a blast.

    We are frequent customers here and love the vibe! Good music and reasonable prizes. The workers are also super kind!

    Jake bag trade in for 3 plushies! Not bad!
    Jennifer J.

    The best claw machine, hands down. Lots of cute plushies and keychains. You can trade them in for other items behind the register. Staff is very fair and friendly! They're nice enough to "fluff up" the plushies to make your chances of winning higher. This is what ALL claw machine establishments should be like. Spent about an hour here. Take your time and good luck!

    Nicolas J.

    This is my new favorite place in the world since I love claw games! They rearrange the toys every so often. I spent $20 for tokens and definitely left with well over $20 of stuffed animals. Games don't feel rigged or unwinnable like some claw games. I scored like 7 different Pokémon (I literally caught them all) only one I missed was flareon since someone beat me to it lol. I was highkey screaming louder than the children there due to excitement I'm not even kidding lol. One of the best claw game arcades I've seen in the 30+ states I've been to in my 30+ years lol

    Always fun getting the dolls here. They make it easy to win and have fun. Place is well maintained with friendly staff

My wife and kids were next in line and were about to get on when one of the employees went around asking people to wait until 9pm when the fireworks would be going off. My kids were getting restless and didn't care to wait so they decided to go on anyway. The ride is supposed to last for 10 mins but they were only at the top for only 2-3 mins. The guy on the ride felt bad and told my wife and kids they could stay on since they were only on it for a couple mins but the lady who was working the line and operating the ride ushered them off as quick as she could. When my wife asked for an explanation why their ride was cut short, she said they promised a bunch of people they would get to go on and see the fireworks and that they wouldn't fit. She also said she spoke to her in a very condescending way. The rest of the main experience again in the main building was pretty awesome. Arcade was great, VR attractions were fun. This last interaction was just a really bad way to end the night.

They had a bar upstairs and downstairs and had high boys and stools for the area upstairs. The setup was pretty amazing (on the ground floor) with a huge screen and stage for the competitors to play and be projected on. In the back, they had computer/gaming chairs with monitors/computers set up and people gaming. They had plenty of restrooms available on both floors, too. Honestly one of the better kid friendly venues on the Strip. I'd definitely come back to enjoy some gaming time here.

They host birthday parties and special events too, which is awesome because this place is a guaranteed good time. The restrooms are clean, staff is friendly, and the overall vibe is welcoming.
