A lost Liverpool video games arcade was a popular hangout for kids in Liverpool to spend their pocket money in the 1980s and 1990s.
With the new series of Stranger Things taking Netflix by storm, the likes of Kate Bush and memories of hanging out in amusement arcades to play the latest video games have been introduced to a new audience. In Liverpool in the '80s and '90s, the Las Vegas arcade was one such place.
Situated on Skelhorne Street, the Las Vegas was an alluring world of neon, retro bleeps and jackpot sounds all emanating outwards as you left the side entrance of Lime Street Station. Games arcades grew out of the boom in video games that took the world by storm in the 1970s and '80s.
