What to Expect
In Las Vegas, the word “gaming” is usually associated with blackjack tables and slot machines. At Insert Coin(s), however, you won’t find any green felt or one-armed bandits. One of the newest downtown Las Vegas bars, Insert Coin(s) caters to a different kind of gamer.
Whether you prefer the old-school fun of Galaga, Burgertime and Mortal Kombat II or the more realistic action of Madden NFL 11, Grand Theft Auto IV and Call of Duty: Black Ops, Insert Coin(s) is the Fremont Street bar for you.
The focal point of Insert Coin(s)’s 7,000-square-foot space is the rectangular bar that serves as the center of the action. The illuminated bar is the place for anyone wanting to demonstrate their skills at several video game stations. Television monitors above the bar allow everyone to see where your video game skills fall on the scale between 13-year-old boy and 80-year-old grandma.
On the bar floor, you’ll find dozens of classic upright arcade video game machines, including and even a pinball machine or two.
Insert Coin(s) isn’t simply a video game arcade, however. Large, cushy nightclub booths line one wall for patrons interested in the nightclub bottle service experience or a dedicated HDTV and gaming console for your group (reservations available). The bar features a reasonable selection of domestic and import bottled beers and the specialty drink menu includes several fruity cocktails (appropriately named after Ms. Pac Man and the ghosts Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde), in addition to the usual well drinks and cocktail favorites.
Like most of the Fremont East bars, Insert Coin(s) is packed on weekends after 11. Music is sometimes provided by DJs, and guests are encouraged to start their own Dance Dance Revolution.

They’ve added a few more video games since they opened, and they have a wider selection of old-school and newer games. They have a nice selection of Three Olives vodka, including their new Cake flavor (which I recommend having chilled, straight up). Friendly bartenders and fun ambience. There was some sort of video game tournament with play-by-play while we were there. We had no idea what was going on, but it was entertaining nonetheless.
ADD Heaven. Between the girls (which for a kinda of geek place, didn’t expect) the games, the DJ, Movies playing, and Big screens everywhere, this is short attention span paradise.
They offer bottle service for $300 a bottle, which is pretty good for Vegas – but they offer the exact same bene’s for half bottle – bottle service at $100 per half.
Struck me as odd, full for $300 and half for $100 – didn’t get either but that struck me as pretty decent compared to the rest of the city.
Good vintage games, mostly in good working condition. Pinball too.
Young crowd here made it seem like a collage bar. Bartenders were just ok – they tried to pull a fast one and gave us a different grapefruit based energy drink instead of a Red Bull in the Vodka Red Bull we ordered ; maybe they don’t have Red Bull or they were out – either way they could have said something when the order was placed. When we pointed this out to the Bartender, he started to act indignant about it, until we claimed to be allergic to grapefruit – at which point he made a Vodka martini instead for the same price. Still it was great to play some of the cool vintage arcade games, like Moon Rover, 720, Joust, and Asteroids – all of which were in mint condition.
