General info: 

The Pinball Hall of Fame is a non-profit museum dedicated to pinball enthusiasts. But not only for them – everyone must be impressed by the size of the collection in the venue. There are over 400 different pinball games on the disposal to visitors.

In the Pinball Hall of Fame everything is focused entirely on the game. Good fun and happy faces are the things the owners expect from you, not your money. This is a totally free organization that continues working from the voluntary donations of the visitors. And there are plenty of those who’d like to help. That is why the organization managed to set a wonderful collection of pinball machines in one of the busiest parts of the city, close to the famous Las Vegas Strip.

Getting there: 

Paradise is the name of the area where the Pinball Hall of Fame is located. Its exact address is 1610 E Tropicana Ave Las Vegas, NV 89119. The airport is very close, approximately on the same distance as the Strip. The closest one of the Strip hotels is the MGM Grand.

Costs: 

The entrance is entirely free of charge. However, if you would like to help the development of the venue you can leave a donation.
