GameWorks Las Vegas was a GameWorks entertainment center opened by Sega GameWorks. Launched in May 1997 on the lower floors of Showcase Mall as the second location after GameWorks Seattle, GameWorks Las Vegas was the largest facility to be opened under the chain at 47,000 square meters; it being the company's flagship venue in the United States.
Despite its flagship status and position as a major family tourist attraction on the main Vegas strip, the venue's subsequent poor attendance and high rent costs led to it contributing to the venture's unprofitability; shortly after being sold by Sega alongside the other remaining locations, GameWorks Las Vegas was closed permanently in March 2012 in favour of a new lower-cost location aimed at locals.
Homages to the location can be found in L.A. Machineguns and the more recent StarHorse4.
