Located directly on the Strip, GameWorks is a huge arcade that features a 75-foot climbing wall. You start on the arcade level and climb up a wall that looks and feels like rock-face. Hand-holds are placed along the walls to help raise yourself, and a guide will offer suggestions as they hold your safety line. You can see people scaling the wall from the street, making it a very peculiar sight. The multi-level facility has more than 250 arcade games, ranging from classics like Ms. Pacman to the latest video games. Instead of quarters, the machines take what looks like a thin credit card. You can charge the card with up to twenty dollars, but they'd be glad to sell you another if you need it. It's easy to spend a lot of time here. In addition to the rock climbing wall and video games, GameWorks has a lounge with pool tables and televisions. Games and attractions vary in price. Its prime location and late hours makes it almost impossible not to take a peek. Those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 21 after 9:00 p.m.
