The new Pinball Hall of Fame is located on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, near the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign, and is slated to open this April.
The very popular Pinball Hall of Fame has begun moving into a new location on the Las Vegas Strip next to the Harley Davidson Dealership.
The move follows a fundraising effort that brought in $200,000 from hundreds of pinball fans. The project overall has cost $10 million.
Funding Shortfall and Anonymous Donor!
Due to the pandemic, the non-profit experienced a revenue shortfall, but supporters ponied up the cash to finish the project.
An anonymous donor, known only by his nickname, “Rocket Man,” helped reach the fundraising goal with a donation of $79,000. This is the healing Las Vegas needs for a project like this. Expect this to be a family-friendly venue and plenty of old classic games from the past.
The new Pinball Hall of Fame sits at 4915 S. Las Vegas Boulevard, near the airport and “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign.
The new location will boast about 700 pinball machines and arcade games, up from 250 at the former spot.
Many of the pinball machines have been in storage for as long as 30 years due to space limitations in the Tropicana venue.
The new Pinball Hall of Fame will benefit from much higher visibility than its ever had, and guests are sure to appreciate not just the size of the new place, but the sheer variety of games.
The Pinball Hall of Fame is a unique Las Vegas diversion. It’s part arcade, part playable museum. Stay informed and follow Pinball Hall of Fame on Instagram or Twitter.
It’s free to get in, and because Pinball Hall of Fame is a nonprofit, excess revenue goes to charitable organizations.
