Things to Do in Las Vegas
With Kids That Aren’t the Strip
Las Vegas isn’t only casinos and shows. Game Nest is a family-friendly Japanese-style arcade in Chinatown — unlimited play, claw machines, and real food, built for kids, teens, and the adults who bring them.
Finding things to do in Las Vegas with kids usually means picking from a short list of pools, buffets, and the occasional magic show. Game Nest adds a different option — a game floor built around imported Japanese cabinets and classic arcade games, open to all ages, with nothing that requires a chip stack or an ID.
The unlimited hourly play card makes it easy for parents to manage: no separate ticket balance per kid, no running back to reload a card mid-visit. Owners Abraham and Julie Ann Salume built it as a clean, supervised space where kids can move between machines while parents actually get to sit down and eat.
A game floor for every age in the family
From claw machines for younger kids to racing cabinets and rhythm games for teens, the floor has enough range to keep a family with a mixed age group entertained for a few hours.
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.
