A Retro Arcade in Las Vegas
Built for Nostalgia Runs
Golden-age cabinets and pinball tables, side by side with the newer imports. Game Nest’s Chinatown floor is built for a proper nostalgia run, not just a couple of machines by the door.
Plenty of Las Vegas arcades keep one or two retro cabinets around for decoration. Game Nest gives the classics real floor space — golden-age arcade games and pinball tables running alongside the newer imports, all on the same unlimited hourly play card.
Owners Abraham and Julie Ann Salume built the floor for people who grew up on these machines as much as for first-time visitors, so a retro run isn’t competing for space with everything else on the floor.
Classics with room to breathe
Golden-age cabinets and pinball sit alongside claw machines, Japanese imports, and prize games — a proper retro arcade, not a corner of one.
Rhythm & racing imports
Taiko-style drumming cabinets, dance and rhythm machines, and sit-down racing simulators imported straight from Japan.
