Daughter took me to the Pinball Hall of Fame today...
...for my birthday and Father's Day! We had a great day. She chauffeured me to the establishment just off the strip in Vegas and then bought lunch afterward - and even fronted me $10 for a little slot play after we ate! Good times, good times.
A year or two ago, there were a few so-called YT "influencers" in the hobby who went there expecting an arcade experience, not really understanding the vibe. Bizarrely, they had a negative over-all impression of the place, which I found...well - bizarre.
It is NOT an arcade in the sense of what most of us think of in that regard. It is a HUGE warehouse filled with close to 400 pinball machines and several dozen arcade machines from all eras of the genres. Also included are several claw machines, air hockey table, Zoltar machines, etc. If there is any type of gaming coin-op machine you want to experience, you will likely find it here. I've lived here over 10 years and this is only my second time going. I need to make it there more often.
I had my daughter take pics of me playing a couple of the tables you can find on the ALP machines. They had a Jacks Open, which I really wanted to play, but it was inop unfortunately.
