The Pinball Hall of Fame - Las Vegas, NV

Vegas, a city that never sleeps is a smorgasbord of lights, noise, hotels, casinos, buffets, attractions, and entertainment. As part of our entertainment, we decided to go back in time of youthful fun playing classic pinball machines from the 1950's up until the 1990's. 
As soon as we walked into the massive 25,000 square foot space dedicated solely to all different types of pinball machines, we were hit with a feeling of nostalgia. As someone who watches tons of 80's movies and wishes to step back into time and visit an old-fashioned arcade, the Pinball Hall of Fame sure was a dream come true.

Here you will find mainly pinball machines, and also a few arcade games, air hockey, and those beloved stuffed animal loaded claw machines that are so hard to win! In today's high-tech world, we could all use some more old-fashioned fun! This offbeat attraction offers an interesting, exciting, and budge friendly alternative to the casinos.
One might expect the prices to be jacked up here like the rest of Vegas, however, it is quite the contrary. Most games are just 50 cents apiece, while a fewer of the oldest games are jut a quarter! A lot better investment for the money than gambling at the casinos (for those who gamble).
Here, we just had fun with the added benefits of greater affordability, fewer crowds, and smoke free atmosphere. Playing the oldest pinball machines from the 1950's, was an experience with just a quarter per play!
If you're into fortune telling, you put in a coin, press the button and read the message. 
The Pinball Museum is a nonprofit organization run by the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club, whom opened the museum to display the world's largest collection of pinball machines. Machines range in date from the 50's-90's, with most of the games being from the 60's-80's, which is considered the primetime of pinball. And since it's a nonprofit, excess revenues go to non-denominational charities.
So, there you have it. The Pinball Hall of Fame is an amazing place. We've experienced a good mix of familiar and rare tables and games, a good visit.

Thanks for reading, blessings!
