Pinball Hall of Fame - Las Vegas

[Tidy Technician]

Hi

So a couple of weeks ago i took a road trip down the east coast of America from San Francisco to LA, then inland to Palm Springs and Las Vegas

It was awesome to see that pinball is still very alive in the USA

We found a few lines of 10 - 12 machines in Santa Cruz and many single machines in bars along the coastline.

In Las Vegas I discovered the 'pinball hall of fame' - basically a warehouse, open to the public to play.
They had at least a couple of hundred pins, and some other old classics too.
The place is not flash at all, refreshments very limited from a vending machine (i think they are missing a trick as i am sure proper refreshments would be successful).

When we visited, there must have been 70+ customers.. it seems a popular place.
Very much a working workshop, a tech was busy repairing the machines in the line ups, and they had a sectioned off return area at the back.

They had all of the classics plus many great machines that i had never seen before.
It was a real treat
Most games were 50c a game... I changed $20 and struggled to spend it all in the 3 hours we were there

The two high lights of the 'hall of fame' was firstly to play the new Ghostbusters machine... A nice game, but i would not want to buy one.. its good. but not addictive

secondly they had a very rare Circus machine, i really wish i took more pictures of it / video.. I was a great machine, very addictive, trying to reach the higher levels was fun.

its a great day out, you'll need a taxi from the strip, its just a bit to far to walk in that temperature !
Uber works extremely well in Las Vegas

don't rely on getting food there, eat before you go !
