Coney Island Emporium

There isn’t much to expect except a built in arcade with loud, loud, music and restaurants. The casinos are right next to the arcade and they are kid friendly as well. You can win different prizes and gifts. There’s a lot to see, frankly. Just keep walking through and prepare to go blind as you see lots of bright neon lights and the rest is history. I had so much fun, but this place is not the main place where you’ll want to stick. This is one of the most recent places you’ll see first, and then you’ll want to see the rest of the shopping center next. But the prizes are too cute!!!

My son had wanted to go here for a while so we decided to go before we invited any friends to come. So glad we looked at it first. There is a fair amount of games. On the day we went, there were several that were not working with no signs, so we wasted our money. We told one of the attendants that were at the ticket counter about some broken ones, and he looked like he could care less and grimaced that I interrupted his non working state of mind. Not a place I would recommend. It is a waste of money. That’s too bad because I do love the NYNY as a whole. We spent $ 20 in a matter of minutes. The games do not last long enough for you to feel satisfied. How disappointing. The one star is simply because of the fact that it was in a place that I typically enjoy with this exception.

We recently stayed, gambled and ate for 5 nights at NYNY due to the fact that I’m a huge pinball geek and Coney Island Emporium has all of the latest pinball machines in perfect working order. The pins are well maintained and are a blast. I bought 4 $ 20 cards during our most recent stay and played pinball until my wrists hurt.
Love the Game of Thrones pin. Looking forward to our next trip to Vegas… I understand the new «Ghostbusters» pin will be there soon.

Decent arcade kids can visit to pass the time while the adults are playing in Vegas. My family and I haven’t visited New York-​New York since 10 years ago since it’s part of the older strip, but I was impressed by New York-​New York’s ability to keep up its appearances. With the newer and trendier hotels, it is probably a challenge to remain competitive but there’s something about visiting these older hotels that reminds you of growing up in the ‘90s.
New York-​New York’s Coney Island arcade, for one, does a good job of updating its games while maintaining its theme. I noticed that the games did not appear outdated. In fact, there were a few recent additions such as the Star Wars theater-​like single-​player game. It was pretty cool; players actually have to sit down in an enclosed space and the screen was basically a mini-​IMAX screen.
Everything is handled electronically these days. No surprise that paper tickets don’t exist anymore; it’s all accumulated on the card. I wonder if kids nowadays even know what arcade tickets look like… Another convenient aspect of this arcade is that you can load credits to your card using credit! Yes! Solely credit card users would SO appreciate this arcade.

I don’t see how people can give an arcade less than five stars! I loved it here! Awesome that you don’t have to keep track of a wad of tickets in your pocket, they just go directly onto the card. There was a lot of claw machines which was awesome! Totally wasted money here, but at least I got a cute minion keychain for a prize! Will definitely be coming here again!

I’d give this place zero stars. It seems a quarter of the games are broken but still take your credit. Also, you have to put money on a non refundable card. My kids left far unhappier than when we got here.

Lots and lots of CLAW MACHINES!
The arcade is radical lots of fun games and too many claw machines to count that are full of a variety of prizes to offer you a more of a winning challenge than the slot machines!
The staff here was super cool and helpful, my lady asked the fortune machine to gaze into her mind to read her future but we found that when it was time to retrieve her card she didn’t get one. So we asked the attendant to help us he grabs a huge stack and says to avoid bad luck pick whatever fortune you like from this huge stack as he fans them out for her to make a choice.
This is a great place to bring your kids for a bit of challenging games and a good time!
We will be back here at one point as it’s a huge arcade full of Claw Machines how could I not pay them another Vegas visit!

This place was great. After years of going to chuck e cheese I was excited to take my kids some place for bigger kids. I loved that there were no tokens or tickets to deal with, everything was on a card and it kept track of your credits for you, and my kids still have the cards with the points and credits. The games were waaaayyy better, I even found myself playing some of them. I also liked that I didn’t have to walk through the casino to get to the game area because it was near the garage parking. The only down side was that my kids are still to small for the roller-​coaster :-P but I will definitly be going back in the near future.

I came here because Fumie likes claw machines. They got about 14+ of these machines and a so-​so arcade. Nevertheless, this is near Shake Shack and Hershey world so it is convenient.
And YES… I did win Fumie a stuffed doll. Down side? It cost me $ 10.

This is an average arcade with plenty of ticket games, a couple decent games like rerave and DDR Extreme, and a few extras. There is an ITG2 cabinet in the back of the arcade that has decent pads, and even has the elusive MaxFlight Simulator.
The roller coaster here is the fastest and tallest on the strip now that the Sahara shut it’s doors, but the price to get on is a hefty $ 14 a ride. If you do choose to go on this ride, do not sit anywhere other than front, or this coaster will beat your neck and back to submission. If you know you will be going on this more than twice, get a scream pass; it costs $ 25 to get and will pay for itself in 3 rides «I believe they offer half-​priced re-​rides if you stay within the ride station
Otherwise, it is a decent arcade that caters to the average Vegas tourist. It’s convenient location on the strip combined with the selection of well-​known games makes it a decent choice for a quick trip. If you are staying on the south of the strip next to the major hotels then this is one of the better arcades in that area.

For two adults who dislike gambling, we had a pretty good time here for an hour or so. There were a few air hockey tables and an old 2-​player hockey game that we enjoyed for quite some time. The drop machines were terrible (couldn’t get a grip on anything!), and most of the newer fun machines cost a ton. The idea of a credit-​type card for credits is fine, especially since it stores your tickets on there as well. For a basic arcade, we had a good time.
My main issue was going to redeem our tickets (for our daughter), we waited for a LONG time, and there was no sense of order to the ‘check out’ process. The employees took whoever pushed ahead, spoke up, or was closest to them at the moment. They didn’t smile, say hello, or offer any interaction more than was absolutely necessary. Too bad, because there were a lot of kids who were really happy to be there and get a prize — the kids’ joy could have been contagious instead of staying so sour.

In comparison to other arcades I’ve been to, this one is decent, though not outstanding. There are plenty of options for a variety of game players, but the cost to play is pretty outrageous. Not to mention, you have to have cash in order to get tokens, since is no option to use your credit/​debit card. When playing ReRave, I was really disappointed that my scores wouldn’t count since the wifi was disconnected. Let’s hope they’ll just save themselves the time of connecting it and just get a new ReRave Plus machine instead, eh?
However, I do realise it IS Vegas, so they’re gonna charge out the butt. So it was downright amazing when an employee saw us dominating the ReRave machine, and then gave us several free games. Talk about awesome! :)

This was my jam.
I took so many tokens from this place back in the 90’s. I was an arcade master. We were staying at the Monte Carlo, but because of a lack of a decent (well any) arcade, we would walk our teenage selves to the New York New York arcade (different time)
So that being said, for some guy named nostalgia’s sake, I dragged the girlfriend here, albeit before hours, to see the old stomping grounds.
The types of games have changed over the year. More and more WII style games. but the character still remains and it’s just a place where kids can be kids.
A feeling that too many Vegas locations have lost.

This is located in the heart of the New York/​New York. A good location to bring kids, granted it’s a money suck. They have a variety of games, even some cool interactive games (@$ 5/​play). That said, about $ 50 covered the family for a fun hour of entertainment. They lack some of the newer games, but they have a decent enough variety.
They have several games that give you tickets, which you can redeem for prizes. You would need to spend a small fortune to get a worthwhile prize, we walked with a whoopee cushion, and a little rubber duck.
I’m happy to report that I remain the family Champion on Ms. Pac-​Man.

I recently moved to Las Vegas with 2 children. I took my kids there for some fun and they loved it. What I really love about the arcade as well as the hotel/​casino area is the increased amount of security personnel. My phone fell out of my bag and the security personnel really went above and beyond to help me. As I was about to give up, one of the workers literally ran around the arcade looking for me and after confirming that it was my phone, he gave it back. Aside from that, my kids had a blast and there are so many games to play. They also offer a 50% military discount for the roller coaster ride (we’re a military family)!

i really do love this place. i always end up coming here with my friends when we’re at vegas.
they have a great selection of old school arcade games to new touch screen ones!
it’s a great place with interesting prizes. i’ve won black shutter mustache shades, white shutter mustache shades, a long panda hat, etc. i’ve actually hit the 500 ticket jacket pot before on that one frog wheel game.
the roller coaster simulator inside the arcade is pretty interesting. 4 of my friends actually went on it, but be warned, if you’re a guy, it might hurt you a lot considering how you spiral down. i think it’s pretty worth it, only 5 bucks per ride too.
the actual rollercoaster, can be terrifying if it’s your first time on one. and that’s what i ended up doing. honestly, i’m terrified of any thrill rides, but this was my first time. i ended up crying, losing my voice, almost passing out, etc. it had drops, barrel rolls, and a 360 loop. it’s around 17 dollars, but for an all day pass, it’s around 25 dollars. go have fun.

As far as an arcade goes, was not too thrilled… sure they had some pretty new games like Star Wars, Time Crisis, Rave game, and Fruit Ninja, but it’s really not too much when my standard is something like D&Bs (biased, I know…)
Overall a bit run down and pretty lame prizes. DDR machine was even out of order when I came by. It’s alright I suppose, but there must be other better arcades in LV… right?

This place is decent in terms of the games they have. A good point to bring up is that they close pretty late compared to the nearby arcades (i.e. MGM and Excalibur). I would recommend going here if you love to play claw machine games because they have tons of them. The roller coaster here is apparently popular, but I haven’t been on it yet… maybe one day! There’s also a Nathan’s Famous right in front if you get hungry.

I remember spending a lot of time here when I was a kid in the 90’s when Vegas was family friendly. This place has had a few changes to the arcade, they removed half of the arcade and replaced it with a conference center and the other half with the rollercoaster still looks the same.

Arcades use to be the cool place to hang out and socialize while enjoying some free time. To charge a dollar to play pinball is not reasonable. Coney Island Emporium has a large selection of crane machines with a vast array of prizes, but is that enough to save this homage to the times of carnival games and pier fun?
Most of the multi-​player prize booths were closed and the only employee on hand was the simulator attendant. There was definitely no need for more employees, because it was dead besides a few people playing random games and the people walking from the garage to the casino.
