Arcade Venue

Dave & Buster’s Reno operates as a video arcade located in Sparks, Nevada, just east of Reno proper along the South Virginia Street corridor. The Sparks location sits inside a regional retail and entertainment district that pulls in both Truckee Meadows locals and travelers driving the I-80 corridor toward Lake Tahoe or points beyond. As one of the larger chain entertainment venues in the market, it places an arcade floor alongside a full restaurant and sports-bar setup under a single roof.

The venue is the Sparks-area outpost of a nationally recognized brand, which typically means a deep, regularly refreshed game library, multiple ticket-redemption counters, and a dining room designed for group outings. For readers using the RetroArcade.com arcade finder, it stands out as the most prominent chain-format arcade entry in Sparks, while families comparing it against locally rooted options like Fun Quest will find a very different layout, price model, and overall feel.

The Scene

Dave & Buster’s Reno is categorized on mapping services as a video arcade, and it functions as a high-volume, chain-format entertainment venue rather than a boutique or retro-focused arcade. The floor typically combines ticket-redemption games with simulator-style and skill-based attractions, all powered by the stored-value play card system that is standard across the brand’s locations nationwide.

Aggregated ratings place the location at 3.9 out of 5 from 177 reviews, a moderate score that is consistent with chain entertainment centers where throughput and turnover shape the experience as much as curation. Because detailed review themes and player commentary have not yet been indexed for this location, the editorial picture here is drawn from the venue’s category, location, and operating pattern rather than quoted player feedback. Visitors looking for additional crowd-sourced impressions can browse player notes through the RetroArcade.com interactive arcade map.

Games & Machines

As a chain video arcade, the venue’s machine lineup is not individually catalogued for this directory entry. The standard Dave & Buster’s format, however, centers on ticket-redemption arcade cabinets, racing and shooting simulators, sports-themed skill games, and a rotating selection of newer releases that the parent company rolls out across locations. Specific titles, manufacturers, and current cabinet counts are not part of the data tied to this listing.

Players who want an exact floor plan before driving over should check the official Dave & Buster’s website or call the front desk directly at +1 775-332-5858, since redemption arcade inventories shift frequently between store visits and seasonal promotions.

Visiting

Dave & Buster’s Reno sits at 13969 S Virginia Street in Sparks, inside a retail cluster that draws foot traffic from Reno across the Virginia Street corridor. Drivers coming from Interstate 80 can reach the venue via the South Virginia Street exit; the property shares parking with adjacent big-box tenants and restaurants, which makes it easy to combine a visit with nearby shopping or a meal.

Operating hours run 10 AM to midnight on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and 10 AM to 1 AM on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. That makes the venue one of the later-night options in Sparks for players who want to keep gaming after dinner or a movie. The extended weekend window is worth keeping in mind for spontaneous weeknight or after-hours visits.

The directory record does not include specifics on minimum age rules, the on-site menu, or current party and group-event pricing, all of which typically follow standard chain policies. Guests planning a birthday party, corporate outing, or large group booking should contact the venue directly for current packages, food and beverage minimums, and any age-related entry rules.

For a broader look at Sparks-area options, the RetroArcade.com arcade finder lists every nearby venue, including Fun Quest as a family-entertainment alternative on the same side of town. Operators who manage this location can claim the listing to add corrected hours, a machine list, and event details directly to the directory.
