| - Oh what a dream NOT come true...
Yes, there are a lot of pinball machines here. Yes, there are a lot of classics as well. But to arrive at a nondescript building, two miles off the strip, your first thought is most likely going to be...am I even in the right spot?
With no clear identification, for the building or the doors, I was a bit apprehensive at first. Really, I didn't know if I was getting ready to walk into the entrance or exit. Having chosen one of two identical, unmarked doors, I finally entered the building...
Very large collection, yes. Several types of tables from the earlier days of pinball to the more modern electronic tables, and even a few computer based video games.
Although I was pleased to find a number of the older machines I was looking for. The pinball hall of fame seemed more like a large warehouse for dying coin-ops rather than a collection of famous pinball machines. A great deal of the machines are either partially or completely non-functional. Rows of unpowered machines in varying states of disarray. All crammed in a dark warehouse that feels as if you're going to bump into some 70's or 80's throwback gang that's going to roll you for all your quarters.
I did enjoy a few games. I even found a few that made me remember my childhood. But the state of the facility, lack of available assistance and the simple fact that its a bit confusing and very unkempt...I think ill stick to some of the larger local arcades. Even Circus Circus was better...had more working machines too.
