I had the same problem and finally figured out a solution that worked for me. Here's what I did:

• Go to Help -> Install New Software.
  • My android environment was already set up, so I picked "https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/" from the drop down menu
  • Check the top level option - "Developer Tools"
  • Hit the next button and follow the prompts. It said I already had it installed and this would apply an update
  • Ran the SDK Manager again and it now showed me the Google Play Services option to install
