Problem: Went with friends on a Saturday night.... Not a place for young adults... Folks dancing ballroom to Pittbull... Hmmmm It's a place for moms, titas, titos, and dads.... Drinks and food menu are cheap enough tho. On the food: - the sisig fries took over 20 mins to get to the table from ordering and it was lukewarm and the shoestring fries where cold and had no crunch to it. - the chicken wings were crunchy outside, hard and dry on the inside, flavorless... Tasted like frozen chick wings.

Problem: Not exactly sure what the bad reviews are from as this is my favorite bar and is only a block away from my home. So lets dive in because I think some of the people that went here have no idea what even goes on here every week. Hi Scores is definitely a place for LOCALS. Insert Coin is a place for tourists downtown. If you noticed a substantial difference that's because of the venue it's meant for. When you go to Insert Coin that place caters to the tourists downtown and provides dancing, music, a lot of square feet for an arcade, and VIP tables. It's a club with video games, period. It's ok if you don't mind going somewhere where nobody knows you, the service is always slow due to how many tourists are in there drinking, and you don't mind listening to dubstep every night. Hi Scores is for us, not them. The menu alone should be reason enough to pop your head in. I've had the pleasure of getting to know the staff here on a personal level just as they've gotten to know me. The ambiance here is more for the techy crowd but also caters to the poker players, beer pong folks (they have huge towers of beer for use at your beer pong table or just to share with friends), and is a great social place. Everyone that comes here is laid back and social. You can sit down at the bar and have a conversation with anyone. The menu is constantly changing and things don't even make it to the menu until they've been taste tested about 10 times by the staff before hand. My favorites are the ahi poke sushi and the dead guy steak salad/sandwich. The Chinese meatballs are also amazing as is the bacon wrapped corndogs that are actually fried up tempura style and the angry birds chicken wings are also great to share with friends. Lets get into the events. I'm a big "Walking Dead" fan and every Sunday while the show isn't on its mid season finale break, you can come here for the 9pm showing. The cast of the Living Dead musical out here in Vegas is there every week and people come dressed as either zombies or zombie hunters for the event as well. There's a nice giveaway of drinks, shirts, tickets to shows and other things that really make the event a fun thing to attend before having to go back to work on Monday. After the show is over they have "Left for Dead 2" tournaments where the winner can take home a copy of Resident Evil 6. Monday is similar where they have Monday night football and then have John Madden tournaments on the Xbox/PS3 and the winner of that contest takes home a copy of Madden '13. This is one of the only places I know that offers locals some nice weekend and week day events where you can actually win things and go home with a smile on your face. I mean, what else do you want in a local bar? This place far exceeds every other place I've been to during my 5 years of living out here. PT's is a joke. And lastly, this is a beer drinkers paradise. The beer menu changes every single week. This is kraft beer utopia for those who want to sample the best of what's out there. I have friends who have the beer apps on their phone who come here to find some of those hard to allocate brews and spend hours just tasting beer in the evening. The owners are passionate about beer, food, and gaming. They're looking to procure some larger properties throughout Vegas in 2013 because of the dynamic success the original location has. If sitting around PT's or some other boring bar that gives you horrible bar food, lackluster service, and pretty much nothing else to do whatsoever then yes, you won't like Hi Scores because its not that kind of place. This is a social gathering with free gaming, great food, great beer, and great signature drinks. I really don't know where some of the rest of you are going but I highly doubt it even scratches the surface of the enjoyment that is to be had at Hi Scores. But hey, if those boring and bland establishments are more your speed than by all means have at it. I'll probably just keep playing golf out on the patio with my jack and cokes never being made aware of your existence. To each their own but I come here every week for a reason, and those reasons are listed above. You can either stay home or come out and enjoy the night. Your choice.

Problem: Not only was this location super accommodating with our large family celebration of my daughter's birthday impromptu on a Sunday evening, but they made the whole process easy and so much fun! When I asked to see a nutritional menu for food allergies they handed me a computer to help me choose what to eat for dinner. I was shocked! I love that they were able to assist in my being able to enjoy my daughter's birthday without needing to pick or scrape items off my dinner plate. I cannot recommend this location enough.
