Good news for residents of Las Vegas and enthusiasts of the arcade industry in general: A brand new FEC has opened its doors in the Las Vegas Strip. Called The Arcade at Bally’s, this is a part of the Bally’s Las Vegas Hotel, sporting a huge 7,000-foot game area with over 80 different games across a variety of categories. Designed by the Aria Group, it offers a little bit of something for every type of gamer.
This new Arcade at Bally’s is a part of the building’s rebranding process into the Horseshoe Las Vegas, which is part of the Caesars Entertainment group. The huge casino was originally built in the 1950s and is just now getting a rebranding, with the intention of bringing the place up to modern standards.Though the venue is heavily oriented towards gamblers and folks who enjoy high-stakes games of chance, this new arcade is a part of the growing Vegas trend of making their casinos more “family-friendly.”
Regarding the rebranding process, the general manager, Jason Gregorec, stated that, “At Horseshoe, it’s all about the gambler. Since 1951 Horseshoe Casinos have been home to the best odds, highest limits, and biggest jackpots. So, it’s fitting that we bring Horseshoe back to Las Vegas, and right on the Las Vegas Strip”. Gregorec also mentioned that this transition will be performed while also providing impeccable service, so that while the venue transforms over time, the guests are able to have fun and relax without any type of disruptions.
Regarding the FEC itself, the arcade is said to have games for all types of gamers; from the classic pinball machines and light gun cabinets, to state-of-the-art VR adventure games like the new King Kong and Jurassic Park titles, which we’ve covered on this blog in the past. The Arcade at Bally’s is located near the Food Court in the mall, where the former Caesars Sportsbook used to be, and opens Mon-Thurs from 10am to 11pm, and Fri-Sun from 11am to 12am.
“We are excited to introduce unique experiences that will resonate with our guests at Horseshoe,” said Jason Gregorec, SVP and General Manager of the property. “The ARCADE will welcome all ages and open the door for a broader audience.”
