Las Vegas’ Claw Machine
Wall in Chinatown
Real cranes, real prizes, no simulations. Game Nest’s claw machine wall in Chinatown is the most photographed corner of the arcade — plush, snacks, and collectibles up for grabs on every drop.
Search “claw machine arcade Las Vegas” and most results point to a single cabinet tucked in the corner of a bigger venue. Game Nest built an entire wall around it — rows of claw and crane machines loaded with plush, snacks, and collectibles, all running on the same unlimited hourly play card as the rest of the floor.
Owners Abraham and Julie Ann Salume treat the claw wall as the anchor of the room, not an afterthought. It’s the first thing most visitors photograph, and the machine regulars come back to try again, win or lose.
More than the claw wall
The claw machines get the photos, but the floor goes further — imported rhythm cabinets, racing simulators, and retro classics fill out the rest of the room.
Rhythm & racing imports
Taiko-style drumming cabinets, dance and rhythm machines, and sit-down racing simulators imported straight from Japan.
Classic & retro cabinets
Golden-age arcade classics and pinball tables sit side by side with the newer imports.
