Indoor Things to Do
in Las Vegas, Rain or Shine
When it’s too hot, too cold, or actually raining, Game Nest’s Chinatown arcade is a fully indoor way to spend a few hours — claw machines, racing cabinets, and food, no weather required.
Las Vegas doesn’t get much rain, but it gets plenty of 110-degree afternoons — and either way, sometimes the plan needs to move indoors. Game Nest is a fully enclosed, air-conditioned arcade built around imported Japanese cabinets, so the weather outside has no bearing on the visit.
Owners Abraham and Julie Ann Salume built the unlimited hourly play model specifically so a visit doesn’t need to be rushed — walk in, get a play card, and stay as long as the weather (or the itinerary) keeps you inside.
A full afternoon, entirely indoors
Claw machines, racing simulators, rhythm cabinets, and Kafe Nesto’s kitchen are all under one roof, so there’s enough here to fill a few hours without stepping back outside.
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.
Claw machines
Rows of claw and crane games loaded with plush, snacks, and collectibles.
Gashapon & prizes
Capsule machines run on tokens; everything else runs on your unlimited hourly play card.
Shooting & motion cabinets
Sit-down shooters and motion-based games for players who want something more physical than a joystick.
Kafe Nesto
Hand-tossed pizza, smash burgers, takoyaki, and boba, ordered at the counter and delivered to your table.
Play a round before you visit
Our claw machines are the most photographed thing in the building. Here's a taste.
Every visit to Game Nest is a real claw, real prizes.

Perfect plan when it was too hot to do anything outside — we stayed way longer than planned.
