Showcase Mall Las Vegas
Showcase Mall - 3785 Las Vegas Blvd South Las Vegas, NV 89109
702-597-3122
We've gone to the Gameworks video arcade at Showcase Mall but have never been in the mall itself; which contains a multiplex cinema, M&M World, the
Coke museum, a food court, 24 hour Internet terminals, and a few other stores. Walking past the mall,
there isn't any obvious entrance. We didn't even know it was a shopping mall after visiting Las Vegas about 15 times.
The sign says "Showcase Mall" but it appeared to be a "strip mall" with just the movie theater, Coke and M&M stores, and Gameworks.
Showcase Mall appears to be the ONLY place on the strip that charges for parking.
Gameworks was kind of disappointing (we haven't been there since around 2001 though). Rather than a vast array of super high tech video
games (which is what we expected) there were perhaps 2 dozen different games; and there are 8 to 12 of the same machine for some of the
games. There's a rock climbing wall which didn't interest us, and a snack area. If you bring kids here, plan on spending at least $40
per child. This isn't the old time pinball that gave you 2 games for 10 cents or 25 cents. Some games require $1.50 or more just to play for 3 minutes.
A lot of them are networked, like a row of eight motorcycle video games that can race each other in real time. And unlike adult gaming, which might
produce a profit; video games never pay out.
UPDATE: December 2006 we spotted an entrance to Showcase Mall. It's a stairway that leads up to a food court from Las Vegas Blvd.
