Gameworks
At some point we always end up at Gameworks on each and every trip to Las Vegas because my husband absolutely loves games especially racing games. Gameworks is a mega arcade inside the Showcase Mall which was created by Sega Enterprises and Universal Studios – getting the picture already? It’s really big and has over 200 interactive games. Suitable for kids and big kids alike!

Top way to save money on attractions
when you're getting around Las Vegas
The cost of visiting all the great attractions Las Vegas has to offer can really add a whack to the cost of your trip. To help keep costs down we usually get a Las Vegas Power Pass
If you’re planning to visit a lot of attractions including Gameworks think about getting one of these. With it you’ll have access to over 20 attractions, tours, rides etc. The Power Pass is worth more than $500 in admissions and discounts and the most economical way we’ve found of getting round the sights.

Showcase Mall
Showcase Mall couldn’t be more different from Crystals. It’s a shopping and entertainment complex that’s a great place to bring the kids. It’s home to Gamesworks, Coca Cola Store and M and Ms World. When getting around Las Vegas we’ve stopped off at the food court many times as it’s pretty handy if you’re after a quick bit. You’ll find the Showcase Mall next to the MGM Grand.
