13 claw machine games around Las Vegas
Hundreds of cute plushies, cool action figures, glossy trading cards and even imported snacks are trapped in glass cases — it only takes one good flick of a joystick to get a prize.
Claw machine arcades are popping up across the Las Vegas Valley. The family-friendly places to play are growing in popularity, thanks in part to YouTube trends and copy-cat businesses.
If you’re looking to try your luck at a game — but not in a casino — then check out these arcades around the valley.
