Asylum Bar + Arcade at AREA15
Part bar, part arcade, all fun. The grown-up barcade on level 2 of AREA15, and my go-to now that GameWorks is gone.
What Asylum Is
The short version, then the details.
A casual barcade on the second floor of AREA15 that mixes vintage arcade games with a full bar.
If you grew up feeding quarters into arcade cabinets, this will feel like home, just with a cocktail in hand. It sits inside AREA15, the immersive district just west of the Strip, so you can pair it with everything else under that roof and never move your car.

Food and Drink
The bar part earns its name.
Asylum pours craft and canned beers, handcrafted cocktails, and alcohol-infused slushies, with non-alcoholic options too. When you need to refuel, there is pizza from The Beast Pizza Kitchen, so you never have to leave the games for long.

Common Questions
Tap any one to open it.
Where is Asylum Bar + Arcade?
It is on level 2 inside AREA15, just west of the Strip off I-15 near Sahara Avenue. Parking at AREA15 is free, and it is an easy rideshare from most resorts.
What games does Asylum have?
Classic video cabinets like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Street Fighter II, and Time Crisis 2, a big wall of franchise pinball, and midway games like skee-ball, shuffleboard, air hockey, foosball, and pool.
Is Asylum all ages or 21+?
It has a full bar, so age policies can shift later in the evening. If you are bringing kids, go earlier in the day and confirm the current policy with Asylum or AREA15 before you head over.
How do you pay to play?
You load tokens or grab a play option to run the games, and there are usually bundle deals. Pricing and packages change, so check the current rates when you arrive.
Did Asylum replace GameWorks?
Not directly, but it is where I send friends now that GameWorks closed. For the full list of arcades around town, see my guide to the best arcades in Las Vegas.
