The Cove Bar And Arcade Happy Hour. The Strip

A working arcade is the reason to pick The Cove over the dozens of other Strip bars within walking distance. Tucked inside Treasure Island, this 21-and-up spot pairs cabinet games, fighting games, racers, and a few vintage machines with a full bar, so you can play a round and grab a drink without leaving the room. The crowd skews younger, heavy on people reliving childhood games and groups looking for something to do besides stare across a dinner table. Weekday afternoons stay loose enough that machines are open and you can actually get a bartender's attention, while weekend nights get louder and more competitive. The bar keeps a regular cocktail and beer menu, and you'll sometimes find game and drink promotions running, so it is worth asking what's currently going on when you walk in. Happy hour deals and specials here change often, so check with the bar for current offers and times before you count on a deal. Arrive early if you want first pick of cabinets and a seat near the action. Treasure Island parking sits mid-Strip, so factor in a walk from the garage.
