STRIP TIPS: GAMEWORKS OFFERS CHALLENGES BOTH RETRO AND NEW: READY TO PLAY?

GameWorks features a variety of games and attractions that appeal to everyone, from the modern "Dance, Dance Revolution" addicts to the retro "Pac-Man" lovers.

Not only can you race (virtual) Indy 500 cars and ride WaveRunners, gamers can stretch their legs and test their skills on the Las Vegas Rock, a rock-climbing wall in the center of the arcade. Climbers who reach the top get to ring a bell.
