Has anyone here visited the Las Vegas Pinball Hall Of Fame?

The wife and I are going to Vegas Sunday thru Weds this coming week and I just found out about this place: http://www.pinballmuseum.org/

I am a big pinball fan and just happened upon this while googling something. Looks pretty neat and I was thinking about stopping by but I wanted to get anyone's impressions to see if it is worth the time to do so. I don't get out to Vegas often so time will be limited but I also don't want to pass it up if it's really cool.

Never been there, but that looks AWESOME. I love pinball and try to play any chance I get, if the game looks to be in good working order. And to see all those old machines in one spot :drool:

I don't think Pinball Hall of Fame is what they had in mind when they came up with the "whatever happens in vegas, stays in vegas" slogan.

PTC, you don't know pinball players....

it is awesome and totally worth visiting, even if it means a significant detour. :up:

Love Pinball will go have a look the next time in Vegas, thank you.

I go whenever I visit Vegas. My wife loves the place too. Something about the area it is in makes us not want to go there at night. Make sure to play the Pinball Circus since it is the only place in the world that has it. It is $1 a game, but a cool thing to play a few times.

We'll be there M-F. Do you have your DVD Talk shirt so we can nod to each other as we pass on the strip?

I'd love to go, but our time is also very limited that I doubt we'd make it out there. I will keep it in mind, though.

Its so sad to see arcades just vanish like they have. I have such great memories of arcades before video arcade machines became dominant and as they rose and pushed pins out of the market.

You could always tell the quality of an arcade by how many and how well they maintained their pins.

Holy crap Spider! I never knew such a beast existed. I may actually have to plan a trip to Vegas at some point now.

I'll be at Excalibur March 30th though June 2nd. We are taking our three boys and both of their grandmothers as well. This museum is just down the street from the hotel. We haven't decided if we're getting a car yet or not. That would be a long walk from the hotel. Is it just pinball machines or do they have arcade cabinets as well?
