The Pinball Hall of Fame has hundreds of pinball machines ready to play. It’s close to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign on Las Vegas Blvd. So, visitors can easily see both in one trip. It’s a non-profit operated by people who love pinball, housed in a cavernous no-frills building. Bring cash to put directly into the change machines to get quarters. This avoids ATM fees.
As you might imagine, The Pinball Hall of Fame is really noisy, since 100-150 pinball machines are being play simultaneously. And it is always busy. Parking and admittance are free. A fun way to spend an hour or two.
“The Pinball Hall of Fame is an attempt by the members of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club to house and display the world’s largest pinball collection, open to the public. A not-for-profit corporation was established to further this cause. The games belong to one club member (Tim Arnold), and range from 1950s up to 1990s pinball machines. Since it is a non-profit museum, older games from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are the prevelant, as this was the ‘heyday’ of pinball. It’s all pure pinball (and a few arcade novelty games) from the past. And since it’s a non-profit, excess revenues go to non-denominational charities.
