Pinball Hall of Fame!!

I'm in Vegas this weekend, visiting my sister!! We just spent the last two hours playing pinball at the Pinball Hall of Fame!! It was Awesome! They had our two old favorites: Star Wars and Addams Family!! We used to play both of those a lot, about twenty tears ago. The best part of playing today: we had more money than we did twenty years ago, so we weren't having to worry about pacing our quarters!! (my sister walked in, and got $20 in quarters, so we went to town!! (we still had some left.)

That was SO much fun!!

Here's a little information on the Pinball Hall of Fame from their website:
The Pinball Hall of Fame is an attempt by the members of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club to house and display the world's largest pinball collection, open to the public. A not-for-profit corporation was established to further this cause. The games belong to one club member (Tim Arnold), and range from 1950s up to 1990s pinball machines. Since it is a non-profit museum, older games from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are the prevelant, as this was the 'heyday' of pinball. There are no 'ticket spitters' here (aka kiddie casinos or redemption). It's all pure pinball (and a few arcade novelty games) from the past. And since it's a non-profit, excess revenues go to non-denominational charities.

What a great place!
