?????????? Five-Star Review: Pinball Hall of Fame ? Las Vegas This place is a total hidden gem for anyone who loves retro games, pinball, or just wants to take a break from the typical Vegas experience. The Pinball Hall of Fame is filled wall-to-wall with hundreds of vintage pinball machines and older arcade games?some dating back to the 1950s. You can feel the history in every flipper, buzzer, and blinking light. What really stands out is the space. The building is massive and wide open, with machines th

I mean, it's a warehouse full of pinball machines. It is not clean, or nice, but they do have an incredible selection of machines both new and old. As far as pinball is concerned, I am not sure this place can be beaten. As far as atmosphere... It's just rows of machines on the concrete floor. They sell terrible t-shirts. Seriously, if they took some time to work on the merchandise, I am sure they would sell a ton but as is, its sorta sad. So much potential.

Amazing. Easily over 100 pinball machines and other vintage arcade games. Most are in working order others are just for show. They range from a quarter to a dollar they have change machines. They also sell hats and shirts of thr pinball hall of fame. It's free to get in just pay to play definitely worth it.

This is a fun activity place in Vegas for the entire family and the entry was free when we visited a few months back on a weekday morning. The games are chargeable, but very reasonably priced and entertaining. I felt like the lighting and overall appeal of the place could have been better. Some stations were out of order and closed. Check out the reel on my Insta page @veggie_central

What r u waiting for?!! This place is awesome. New bigger location on the strip with oodles of free parking. Free entry with so many games to play!! A lot of the older games are broken, but fun to see them. We had so much fun we had to go back for round 2. Fun for kids and adults!!

The Pinball Hall of Fame has so much potential. The collection is impressive?featuring a wide range of wood rails, EMs from the '60s, solid-state classics, and even newer Stern and Jersey Jack machines. There are also some rare coin-op and arcade games scattered throughout, which adds a unique charm. Unfortunately, the condition of the machines really drags down the experience. I'd estimate that at least 60% of the games were out of order, including some of the rarer titles that could have been a real draw

Nostalgia as soon as I walked in the door! I will admit, it was not exactly what I was expecting, but I still enjoyed my time. I thought it was more of a traditional museum and would have the pinball machines on display with a bunch of historical facts. It did have that, but not in the sense of traditional museum. There are a bunch of pinball machines, few games took my money, but other than that it was great. Not overpriced and free to get in.

My goodness This place is awesome. There are machines that I haven't seen since I was a child and me and my husband just had a great time. It was a great, just me and him. It was like a date. This is so much fun. We spent three hours there, just playing pinball machines. There is no ticket to get in just pure fun.

What an awesome place! We come here every time we visit Vegas. Sure, there are machines that don't work, but there are more machines that do. And other than the cost of playing, there is no charge. It's so much fun to play the games today that we played in the 70s. Our favorite game to play together is Joust, and it's as much fun now as in 1972. We had a problem with one machine this time. Rich was working on a pinball nearby, so we asked for help. He couldn't fix it, so he set us up on a different machin

No entrance fee and that shocked me. We dropped $10 for an hour of entertainment and that's crazy for the vegas strip, it's Definitely a labor of love and not a profit center. They have signs up for non profit and charitable donations. It's just a big warehouse with pinball and arcade machines, many broken down, but I did see employees working on them. I would go again, it was like going back to my childhood and my daughter asked me about the 80?s & 90?s a lot.

This place was great! I brought a jar of change, and two of us were able to spend at least two hours playing pinball and other old arcade games

If you're even slightly into arcade games or grew up in the ?70s, 80s, or ?90s, Pinball Hall of Fame is an absolute must-visit on Las Vegas Boulevard. Walking through the doors feels like stepping into a time machine ? the glow of vintage pinball machines, the buzz of classic arcade games, and the unforgettable soundtracks from decades past create an immersive and nostalgic experience unlike anything else on the Strip. The collection is nothing short of amazing. You'll find rare machines from the 1970s an

We stopped in here to have a good time. Which I believe we did: there were some classic games and some new games. I enjoyed seeing the historic items like the first claw machine, a throw back to the garbage pal kids, and original air hockey and ski ball games. The newer games had lots of bright lights and sound effects. The older games cost 2 quarters or 50 cents, some were 75 cents. There are change machines right when you come in. They do have a ticket redemption but we didn't get any tickets from the mac

We had a great time here! For anybody who loves pinball, this place is paradise. There are literally hundreds of pinball machines from different eras. No entry fee, and after changing a twenty dollar bill for quarters and spending a couple hours playing pinball, I probably still had about 8 dollars in quarters left. Highly recommended.

If you love PINBALL - GO HERE - QUICK! Even if you don't love pinball - still make this a MUST-SEE visit - it's super CHEAP - you can literally spend $5 and enjoy several games! Most of the pinball games do take up to $1-2 for the newer models - but the majority are 50 cents or less. Change machines are available and there are ALWAYS something NEW to try out. They do have a public washroom. It is an easy walk from the Mandalay Bay - as it's across the street from the Mandalay Bay Convention center. But

We stumbled across this gem while trying to avoid the Vegas heat and it was a blast from the past. We spent $20 playing Space Invaders and Pac Man which was a childhood favourite and the pure joy of having some great fun and reliving memories was fantastic. If you are enthusiastic about pinball or vintage arcade games then this is a must try place!

So many great pinball and vintage arcade games. My son and I spent maybe an hour here for about $20 so worth every penny! I would have stayed all day but my kid wanted to see more stuff in Vegas even though the best of it is in this building. They do have a lot of games that are not working but as a museum you still get to see them. A hundred plus working games make it well worth the time.

Very cool place to check out. Had a lot of very old items. Had a good bit that were nonworking, but it looked like somebody was attempting to fix them. Very fun, pitstop, neat and tidy inside.

So much fun!! I loved the 1938 claw the best. My parents(71) felt like kids again. So smart moving out closer to the strip.

Super fun place to go to relive your childhood! No fee to enter. Played games and pinball that I hadn't seen in up to 45 years ago! Many are only .25 or .50 to play, so you can spend hours in there! We even got a few keychains and stuffies from the claw machines. Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon there!

They really need to just put a sign out front and advertise NO KIDS ALLOWED! Despite all of the claw machines full of stuffies and toys to be won. I was constantly followed, lectured, and belittled for having my kids there, which I am not the type of parent to take my eyes off of my kids. This older lady even yelled at me ?if you leave your kids alone, they will get trafficked.? Completely unbelievable. We visited three years ago, and it wasn't like this, so I'm not sure what changed. But either way, they a

I am a big pinball fan and was looking forward to visiting this place on my trip to Vegas. From the outside, it is impressive with huge signs and neon. Once you're inside, matters change. It's dusty and dingy and although photos will show you loads of machines most of them are nonoperational. The placards that describe some of the machines are handwritten in messy ink and even the operational machines have weak flippers or bumpers. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this place.

The Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas is a true hidden gem?a must-visit for any gaming enthusiast or anyone who appreciates history and the finer things in life. Huge credit to the team running this place; it's an absolute joy. My son and I had an amazing time, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a love for games at heart.

What a great time. We took the kids and had an absolute blast without spending an arm and a leg. This place is timeless and we could have stayed there all night.

This is a not so hidden gem! Best value in Vegas. A whole hanger of pinball and old arcade games. Not over priced, super clean, and fantastic fun. Get away from the strip for a while and have a good nostalgic time! You won't regret it. Check out the website for your favorite game!!

Pinballs from the 60s but modern also. There is no entrance fee and with 20$ you can try many of them. There are some arcade games too. It's a fun visit where you can easily spend 2 hours.

This place is great!! Really cheap entertainment for parents and teens. Maybe some games for smaller children but mainly for older kids and adults. We were there for around 1.5 hrs and spent less than $20 on quarters. There is no charge to enter. They have older and newer pinball machines and quite a few arcade games. Most games were $0.50-$1.00 per play. I highly recommend this activity to kill some time before the more expensive activities.

We stopped at Pinball Hall of Fame on our way to the nearby airport. It was incredible how many games they had here. Really brought back memories. Most games are playable and many only cost a quarter.

What an absolute fun place. Just a big warehouse with lots of pinball machines that are old school. Some other games too. Some work, some don't. Games are fairly cheap with many being only a quarter to fifty cents. Brought back so many memories. You can either bring your own quarters or there is a machine to convert your dollars into quarters. Everytime we come to town we have always wanted to stop by and this time we did. It was fun and nostalgic. If I were them I would probably move all the non working ma

Great place to visit for any age! My kid was thinking it may be lame but he had great time and whooped my ass in pinball. we ended up here for 2 hours for $20 only, which i had more fun than when we go to D&B and spend $20 in 20 minutes!!. Just like the old days it's all quarters and good memories of games i used to see in the arcades in the 90s. Please support this place and show ur kids what real fun used to be like.

I don't ever leave negative reviews on Google, but I think in this case it's important certain people understand what they are walking in to. This place markets itself as being "...fun for families and enthusiasts...", however I can honestly say I've never been to a location that says that it is open to children that is this openly hostile to them. My family and I stopped in here before heading to southern California for the weekend and we were absolutely *HOUNDED* by the staff here about our children. The

This is a great place to go to feel like a kid again. They have several hockey tables and 100 or more pinball machines. They even have the old pinball machines that are made of wood and they are working. They have a photo booth. Many machines where you grab a stuffed animal for your sweetheart or a child. They sell party cups. All machines take quarters. They have several dollar change machines. They have clean bathrooms. They have staff on the floor to help if you need anything. Overall, great place

My family and I always have a great time when we come visit! They have tons of specialty and themed pinball machines, including newer, older, and vintage franchises and machines. They have a few other games too. My dad and I enjoyed playing a few rounds of guitar hero and hydro thunder in between pinball games. You don't have to buy tickets to enter, but you should bring cash to exchange into quarters.

Exceeded our expectations! There were more games than we imagined, and you can't beat the prices! Between the two of us, we were able to play for over two hours with $15. There are so many pinball machines, both old and new - ranging from $0.25 - $1 per play, as well as a variety of video games. Bathrooms were super clean, and they had soft drinks and juice etc. for a good price. Don't pass this up when you are in Vegas. Best bang for buck in the city for family friendly fun!

My wife surprised with this. She saw this on TikTok. We came and as you can see in the videos, it had alot of vintage pinball machines. There are some old arcade games as well. I highly recommend this place. It's great to bring the family, a great place for a date. Just go and have fun!!!

A sad place of broken toys staffed by very angry old people. Don't trust the good reviews. Yelling at kids and families? Check. Broken machines and jammed quarter dispensers? Check. Filthy bathrooms and strange smells? Check. Check. Check. I wish I would have read more of the one star reviews. The 2 minute rush of nostalgia was not worth seeing little kids get yelled at for the most minor transgressions. It was very inappropriate and surprising and we noted it with multiple staff members against multiple

Great variety of pinball machines. I never seen so many in one place before! Really neat to play the vintage ones. And the cost was only 25c to $1.00 each game.

My visit to the Pinball Hall of Fame was everything I hoped and more. After walking around and admiring all the different machines, I found a few older machines I really wanted to try. Lucky for me, the were all lit (working) and I was able to try each. A staff member nearby let me know all profits from the machines go to local charities that service women, children, etc. Stop by on your next trip or day off for a great bit of nostalgia before you head home.

Cute place, air conditioning, allows you to bring your own drinks. Games are between 25 cents and $1

We stopped by the Pinball Hall of Fame with a few hours to spare before our flight, and it was an absolute blast! I love that there's no admission fee, but we ended up spending over $40, which was totally worth it. We played for hours, enjoying both the classic and newer pinball machines. It's such a fun, nostalgic experience, and I really hope this place sticks around forever. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great time in Vegas!

It's a blast! They have tons of pinball machines. You could spend all day there and not play them all.

I mean?. I'm not sure what anyone expects going here. Overall cool concept with a wide variety of options. Bring cash, get quarters. There are some arcade games and while it's not the most thrilling prizes you can win this place can definitely keep you busy for

So many pinball machines and classic arcade games under one roof. This place is awesome and enjoyable for all ages. Everyone always seems happy here. It's an inexpensive fun activity for the whole family/friends, or even if you're flying solo just to kill time. When I visit I'm usually hogging up the Galaga game, or trying to win keychains. I can get a lot of playtime with $20. The staff seem nice and friendly, and there's lots of free parking spots available in their parking lot. They have soda ven

Great family activity! Disclaimer: 5-star rating is partially based on lower expectations due to some reviews. Going in, I figured the Pinball Hall of Fame would be a museum with a few machines to play. Wrong! Walking in, the set up is simple. It's just a single large space with several rows of slot machines and other arcade games. All the machines seem to range from 25 cents to a dollar to play. The oldest games tended to have the lower price. There are multiple ATMs and change machines so that you can f

We went before Thanksgiving. I was so happy to see all the change machines and that the game machines used real quarters. My sons enjoyed the games. Age 13&9.

2-3 hours outside of opening and parked In their lot. Was running a 5k with a charity across the street. Was gonna come after they opened. Won't now. There is no signage saying anything about customer parking only. Filing a police report for vandalism They wrote on my car and permanent marker and put this impossible sticker which doesn't actually violate any of the current laws stuck to my windshield. Because there is no visible signage.

Lots of great pinball and old arcade games. I was able to play Burger Time for the first time in decades! Cool place. Games range from .25 to $1 per play.

75% of the machines are down and the ones that ? work? have a ton of issues and don't play right. Was there yesterday. Rows and rows like this of machines like this. Went to play Revenge from mars audio was messed up and has been for a year plus. Theater of magics trap door didn't work, Indian jones treasure chest magnifies was malfunctioning. Any unique game is down. Only the new stern machines play well and I can go anywhere to play a new stern machine. I've going here for a long time since its old locati

Would?ve been a cool experience if it wasn't for the old lady who ran the place just being rude and giving off a bad vibe. She made it clear that she does not like kids in this place by unnecessarily yelling at my kids and I. She yelled at my 7-year-old for using the Whack a Mole machine before putting coins in. Then she yelled at my 10-year-old who was excited to tell me about a game he saw and jogged about 7 ft over to me. He stopped immediately and obeyed her rule but she still felt the need to grill it

Had a great time some of the machines were not working but I saw teams constantly working on them. Seriously the number of old pinball games working is amazing. Really a hidden gem that's worth a visit.

Like a lot of previous reviews mention, too many machines are not working - at least 40 percent. Others work but maybe a flipper is weak so the game is disappointing. But, the overall venue is still worth the trip. I had a great time seeing the faces of the visitors, a lot of men is their 50's and 60's , with the grin of a teenage boy. I include myself in this demographic

Great adventure for all ages. Bring kids to show them 50 years of game history. Great organization keeping history alive. Bring your quarters! New building with good climate control.

This place is amazing! I was instantly transported to my youth where as a kid my mom would drop me off with a friend and $10 in my pocket to make quarters and then make those quarters last until she would come back to pick me up in 2 hours. I was under the impression when I first discovered them online that they had a bunch of old pinball machines, which was already more than enough of a draw for me. They had pinball machines ranging from the dawn of pinball and before to pinball machines that have to be le

So the whole reason I came to Vegas (jk... but one big reason I came). The place has huge selection of pinball. 400 ish machines. But about half if them were out of service. A bunch of other great arcade fun. We had a great time here. Old pins, new ones, great fun. But for Vegas... are you going to decorate this place? Why is it so tall? Is there plans for a second level? No drinks or food other then very simple stuff? Really? I would rather go to pinball Pete's;) just saying. Cool place. Old school tokens

Best way to stretch $40 in Vegas hands down. Got a few cups of quarters that lasted us well over 5 hours of fun playing oldies but goodies classic arcade and pinball games. We went on our last day of vacation when we had time to burn before our red eye flight and had spending exhaustion after a week in Vegas. The Pinball Hall Of fame was just the ticket (kindly recommended by our bartenders at Eataly, he did not steer us wrong) from Gen X Mom. To Millenial Dad. And Gen alpha pre teen...we all had a blast

Very cool place with hundreds of arcade games!! Most of these are geared towards adults because the machines sit quite tall but I'm sure they'd accommodate kids as long as they're not running, swinging their arms or having fun (see pictures). This is treated more as an interactive museum and much less an arcade but it's fun to go. Very easy to get to after you take pictures of the welcome to Las Vegas sign.

Such a fun place! Keep your expectations on the low side for how many games will be actually working when you go, and you'll have a blast. There are PLENTY to enjoy. ?? Average game is $1, some 50 cents, a few 25 cents. We've gone twice and will return!

Variety of machines with many older games that will bring back memories. Some console and arcade games as well. Enjoyed them all. Children are welcome, but there are rules.

Value for money however many machines needs to be repaired. We had 90 mins of fun though. Might be back if in the area. 2024 December

Featuring machines from the 1920s onwards, the owners are aficionados of mechanical games and their passion is unmistakable: they were working on the machines and offering mini-tours. It was the highlight of my trip despite gambling winnings and some great shows. The hall is a public good and all profits benefit charitable organizations. 11/10.

Populated with hundreds of pinball machines from the last 65 years. All are available to play, but some were under repair. The people working there were great to talk to. They truly seemed to enjoy their jobs. Highly recommended if you are a pinball enthusiast.

So many older games and brand new ones to play! Huge place! One 007 game had some stuck balls which caused more balls to become stuck and was a waste of a dollar and staff wasn't the most friendly and helpful about it, but everything else was pretty fun!

Great place to enjoy family time or just get away from the strip for a bit. Awesome old school games, most are still a quarter or two to play.

If you are an avid pinball or arcade enthusiast the Pinball Museum is worth a visit. Some of the pinball machines appear to be working but three of the older pinball machines just took my quarters. Not exactly ?kid friendly? - read the rules. Many of the pinball machines were changed from the standard quarter per game to 50 cents to $1.00 per game. As a local and one who enjoys an occasional pinball game, I'd revisit or take out-of-town guests.

Seriously fun date night destination! Loved playing the old slot machines that took actual quarters. No admission fee makes it even better. Lots of free parking too.

A total hidden gem. This place has every pinball machine imaginable, from the 1960s up to modern games, and they're all playable. It's a fun mix of retro gaming and low-key fun. Family-friendly, inexpensive, and way more addictive than I expected. Plus, it supports a nonprofit mission, which is a bonus.

Visited here on a Saturday afternoon 8/17/24 and the parking lot was 3/4 full. Still, there were plenty of machines inside available to play. As others have said, lots of machines turned off or labelled down for repair. I guess they need more people to help them restore/clean/repair the old beasts. Ah if only I lived locally I would love to help. Back in the 70's I owned 3 pinball machines and got pretty handy with maintenance and cleaning. I had a great time, and played lots of different 70's and 80's

0 stars. Like all of the other 1 star reviews, they are extremely rude and discriminatory against children. We visited with our three kids. They were thrilled to play games! Our son picked up one of the arcade controls without having yet paid, and an old grumpy man comes running up out of nowhere within 30 seconds (I'm not exaggerating) to tell me firmly that ?they can't play with those, because they're old and we don't have replacement parts if they break it?. There are probably 15-20 cameras around the e

I visited the Pinball Hall of Fame today with my ten-year-old, and it was a fantastic experience! The place is filled with pinball and arcade games from the 60s onward, offering a great mix of nostalgia and fun. I was especially thrilled to find a great selection of games from the 90s, including some of my favorite movie-themed pinball machines like Terminator 2. The sound of the arcade brought back so many memories! There are plenty of claw machines to try your luck on, and the change and quarter machine

It was fun. We walked around and looked at the machines, but the fun didn't start until we started putting quarters into the machines. This is a great place for those of you who are over 60 because the older machines will bring back memories. For the younger crowd, it's just plain fun to play.

Quite the large assortment of Pinball machines and console games here. Many vintage machines, more interesting for their curiosity than quality of play. Certainly a lot of newer generation machines, but quite a few machines out of order, but that's probably the nature of these complex mechanical devices... more hardware than software. Personally, I like machines with a lot of features, complex multi-level boards even though I'm a complete novice and the combination actions occur mostly by chance. Select car

Great place and people, all staff are volunteers and they keep the machines running, A wonderful experience.

Great place to get out of the Sun for an hour or so, think we spent $20 between 3 of us in an hour (half of that was trying to win teddy bears). Really good mix of machines some really unique ones. Brings you back to your childhood. Highly recommend especially if you're making a trip to the Welcome sign.

Such an incredible place to visit. The staff have worked hard to keep some extremely old and precious machines operating. This was my first visit to the new building (following the move from Tropicana). I was not disappointed. They have done a great job building out the new venue. Great to see them on The Strip too. Will definitely be back next time I visit Vegas.

This place is very cool! Lots of history- and fun. The only suggestion I would suggest is to write up the history on the games with a PC & make them nice & group your games according to year- gets some cool lights threw out the place & old school pictures to make a cool vibe- like 20?s stuff to the newest one but ur themes changing with the games- people like to read & see history- let ur place tell their stories- my 22 year old daughter actually said huh. The stuff they could really do here to make it so m

We ended up spending a solid 3 hours at the Pinball Hall of Fame?and honestly, it was a blast! The place is packed with vintage charm and a massive selection of pinball machines, from the classics to quirky gems you've probably never seen before. A huge bonus? We lucked out and found tons of free credits left on machines (shoutout to generous strangers!), which made the experience even more fun. That said, a good number of the machines were under repair, which was a bit of a bummer. But the sheer variety

Super fun place!!! Love the new location closer to the strip! So many great pinball machines. Nice guy working there too.

Went here with my brother, aunt, and uncle and we all really enjoyed it. Got to interact with all sorts of pinball machines and I love how you can play the machines there. I enjoyed the Sopranos one the best.

This place is super cool and very nostalgic. It is full of pinball and arcade games, new and old. It was a super awesome stop, and I would highly recommend it! It is fairly cheap to go to, I only spent $5, and I was there for an hour enjoying older pinball machines. I will 100% be coming back on future trips to Las Vegas. Also, it is a great form of entertainment right off the strip just north of the Las vegas sight, so if you are in the area, be sure to check it out!

Excellent for nostalgia! Game play is okay. As many machines not working as working. But still plenty to choose from. Very nice and engaging service. Will definitely return when we're in town!

Absolutely loved this place and drum roll its free to get in. The folks in there were really nice and helpful there are plenty of games to chose from for a fee, reminds you on your youth.

So many machines...so many out of order. All pinball machines take quarters and takes 1-4 per game depending on the machine. Change machines on site. It is a fun place to kill an hour or so and $10-$15.

How fantastic! Definitely a place to go see a lot of the original ones. Some of my didn't even know we were matter fact shared. Very interesting history behind a lot of the games. Of course, as you would imagine with so many old machines there's a lot that are not working, but definitely cool to still see, and then I was surprised at some of the ones that were still actually functional. Played quite a bit spent a little over $30 in quarters but well worth every penny. Even the crane game I want a little pla

Not the best place for small children!!! This place is awesome and there is no fee for admission. The games are really cheap as well. I believe they all range from 25 cents to 1 dollar. We brought 2 young children and got yelled at 3 times. Once for running, once for having one on my shoulders, and once for one child touching the outside of a skateboard ride while the other was on it. Despite the unfriendly staff, we had a blast. 20 bucks lasted us about a hour and we only decided to leave because it was a

I have no idea how this place has so many good reviews. I visited the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas last Friday. The place has a very large collection including EM's through current titles. Unfortunately very few of the1990s-current games were working. Most of the golden age Bally-Williams Titles from the 90s were out of order and were in rough shape. Even more recent titles like Avengers & Jaws had flippers so worn and weak they couldn't propel the ball up all the ramps. I did really enjoy Dungeons

This place was amazing. It has so much old school pinball machines that we got to play on. The kids got to experience what an old pinball machine is as well. The staff were nice & helpful.

Very cool. Games are still cheap to play. We just walked around. Fun stop.

Talk about a blast from the past! Bringing to life my whole childhood of pinball machines and video games! One of the nicest things I saw there was that the owner was allowing bomb sniffing dogs to train there prior to opening to ensure the safetyness of all his staff and customers. Beautiful dogs and they did a great job and I felt safe. most games are $.50 per game or a max of one dollar. You can spend all afternoon there and not spend 20 bucks which is hard to be in Las Vegas.
