I won't be able to make it since I'm flying out to Vegas that weekend for a conference.  I have to leave early so that I can spend a day at the Pinball Hall of Fame!

I am just going to have to cruise up there to look around and drool.  Got to much to pay for coming up...one kid's wedding and the other kid heading to college...uuughh.  Anybody have a flyer or a website or anything that shows where it is and such?  Any good hotels around there that are away from the shaddy areas - I don't have my conceal and carry permit yet.  oops

Here's the link.  The only shady area over there is the people in the parking lot.

It's at Pheasamt Run resort.  I never stayed there but you can't get any closer.

Brent.. whats the address for the Pinball Hall of Fame.. I'm going to be in Vegas in 2 weeks and want to stop there as well. I think it was on the strip, right?

I may also stop in and see Larry, Curly and Moe at the Pawn shop and see about getting one of my square tops converted to an 81 while I'm there..

Make sure to get there Thursday night and you can meet up with us for Dinner.. last time I bet we had 20 people.. as far as hotels, there are plenty of budget motels within a mile, comfort inns, super 8s and such and all are in good locations, not too many hoodlums.. look forward to meeting you... remember the secret handshake and secret decoder ring!

Nope, it's a little off the strip. They just moved to a new location a few months ago at 1610 E. Tropicana, Las Vegas NV 89119 (website).  There is a bus that runs down Tropicana from the strip (just look for the Liberace Museum across the street).   I went to their old location a few years ago and had a blast.  Unfortunately, I could only spend about 2 hours there since I wanted to get on the bus and back to the strip by dark. Let us know how the new location is (plus the do have some classics video games there too).
