Las Vegas Strip Getting A New Resort — Get All The Details

Author Shawn Tempesta

Don’t look now, because yet another huge project is coming to the Las Vegas Strip. Golden Nugget owner Tilman Fertitta has gotten approval from Clark County to build a towering new casino resort at the corner of Harmon and Las Vegas Boulevard.

The 43-story property (9 stories shorter than The Cosmopolitan) will sit across the street from CityCenter, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Planet Hollywood and will feature over 2,400 rooms, restaurants, a theater with over 2,000 seats… even a wedding chapel and auto showroom. The plan seems to be a higher-end resort with suites and villas available – quite the contrast compared to what is there at the moment.

What’s going away to build this?

In order to make the project happen, Fertitta bought a 6-acre plot of land that you see on the map below. Everything from the former Harley Davidson bar, a motel relic in the Travelodge, and a small strip mall featuring random souvenir shops.

This small area of the Strip has been in need of an upgrade for quite a while. Think just 15 years ago. There was no Cosmopolitan. No CityCenter. No “one of the largest screens in the world”. It was a pretty boring corner. But as things have popped up, the area just north and south of the Hawaiian Marketplace has left a lot to be desired. Now the final corner of this prime real estate is going to get the modern day Vegas treatment.

No official word on when the property will begin construction but a representative for the project said they hope to have it up and ready to go in the next two years. This being built, Fontainebleu  being finished… Vegas is back!

'The ARCADE' Opens At Bally's Las Vegas, Features Over 80 Games

Put your game face on, and get ready for some serious fun!

The ARCADE has officially opened at Bally’s (currently being rebranded into Horseshoe Las Vegas), and if you’re looking for a new place to take your family and friends for some fun and excitement, this brand new arcade on the Las Vegas Strip is definitely worth checking out. There are over 80 games to choose from, which makes this attraction perfect for any group outing – there’s something for everyone!

According to Fox 5, The ARCADE is located on the first level of Bally’s near the food court. It is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to midnight. Perfect for early morning adventures with the kiddos and late-night date nights with a significant other. A re-loadable card is used to play games rather than cash, and points are accumulated on the card instead of the dispersion of physical tickets. I love it… SO much easier to keep track of. One key element remains the same though… racking up those prizes at the very end! That’s always my favorite part.

An even greater selling point for some… Fox 5 also reports that Caesars Entertainment has said that “the area will feature a bar, which is expected to open in the coming weeks, that will serve a selection of bottled and draft beer, cocktails and wine.” Cheers!

Incredible Variety of Old vs. New

With over 7,000-square-feet filled with more than 80 games for arcade-goers to enjoy, The ARCADE features many classic favorites, as well as several newcomers created with next-level technology. With such a mixture, it’s virtually impossible to not have the time of your life. Whether you have a competitive itch that needs scratched, or you’re just trying to have a fun, chill night, The ARCADE can accommodate your every wish and need. The mix of old versus new is spectacular.

Here are just a few of the games you can expect to see in The ARCADE at Bally’s:

  • Skee-Ball

    Skee-Ball

    Who doesn’t love this timeless classic? It’s one of my favorite arcade games and truly an arcade necessity. Arcade-goers have been enjoying this game for well over 100 years. You get to roll a ball up a ramp and try to get it in a hole… Perfect for those who possess a competitive edge (cough cough ME). So much fun!

  • Multiplayer Virtual Reality

    Virtual Reality

    Virtual reality has taken the 21st century by storm. According to Fox 5, The ARCADE “features virtual reality with games like “King Kong” and “Mission Impossible,” a four-player interactive gaming experience.” The best part… VR feels so real! It’s so cool that this technology has made it’s way to the arcade floor for all to experience.

  • Rock The Rim

    Arcade Basketball

    Shootin’ hoops in the arcade is always a blast, especially when you’re going up against a pal. Rock The Rim takes it to the next level with full HD video backboards that incorporates additional games into the original concept. These different games are controlled by the baskets you make. It’s super cool, but honestly, I’m just a huge fan of the funky colors, flashy lights, and graffitied basketballs.

  • Supersized Claw Machines

    Claw Machine

    It doesn’t matter where I am or what I’m doing. If I see one of these bad boys, my hand automatically goes for my wallet and I put a dollar in. I think I’m addicted to the thrill of the experience. The ARCADE features a Big One Extreme, aka a ginormous version of the classic claw machine… Just take my wallet.

  • Air Hockey

    Air Hockey

    Perhaps the most competitive classic of all time… An arcade would be amiss without the piercing, repetitive clank of a plastic puck smacking the sides of an air hockey table. For over 50 years, this game has been causing fights and evoking aggression out of those who choose to participate. Nonetheless, it’s undeniable that air hockey is a classic fan favorite and will remain so for years to come.

    Ranked: Best Mini Golf In Las Vegas

    I’m competitive to the max, and I consider myself the queen of target sports and rec activities. I’m always down for a game of pool or cornhole, a venture to the bowling alley (yes, I own my own bowling shoes), and, at the top of my favs, a trip to play mini golf. There’s not much I love more than playing some putt putt. In my book, World Mini Golf Day is a calendared holiday.

    World Mini Golf Day is celebrated every year on the same day: September 21st. For those that haven’t experienced the pleasures of the miniature clubs and neon golf balls before, mini golf is, unsurprisingly, similar to golf itself. However, mini golf focuses on the putting part. Aka the most frustrating part of golf. There’s nothing quite like going on a vacation with your family and watching everyone lose it over their ball missing the hole that’s only a mere two feet away. It’s a game that drives everyone mad. It’s a game that induces an emotional roller coaster upon all with a putter in their hand. But ultimately, more than anything, it’s an extremely fun social game and fairly inexpensive most of the time.

    While my love for the miniature sport has taken me to several different putt putt locations across the country, I have to say, Las Vegas has some of my favorites. I’ve scoured Vegas for the best mini golf spots this city has to offer. In the six years I’ve lived here, I’ve gone on many dates and numerous outings with friends that have exposed me to several amazing, colorful courses with some super cool themes. It’s only right that I share these spots with you in honor of World Mini Golf Day.
