| - When I first heard this place was opening, I literally got butterflies in my stomach. I am a serious dork for pinball. That doesn't mean I'm any good at it, but I do love to play. Situated next to the Tropicana Cinemas on Tropicana and Pecos, this generously sized museum is a gold mine of fun for gamers of any type and any age. In addition to 130+ vintage to brand-spanking new pinball machines, there are old rifle games, old driving games, and games like Crazy Climber and Paperboy to take the Gen Xers back to their childhood.
The Pinball Hall of Fame proves a few things: 1) Having a pocketful of quarters in an arcade is an awesome feeling, no matter if you're 6 or 60 2) Everyone, and I mean everyone, turns into a Who-whistling nerd the instant they spot the Captain Fantastic machine with its Elton John caricature and 3) the Waterworld pinball machine is significantly better than the movie. In addition to an unparalleled kickass time, the PHoF runs under a not-for-profit license, which means that all proceeds go to charity. Now, doesn't that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
