BY TANNER BARTH T he 2021Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Teton Ridge takes over Las Vegas for 10 days during the month of December, but when you’re not rodeoing there’s plenty of other activities to keep you busy. The city is known for being one of the top tourist destinations in not only the United States but across the world. It offers thousands of activities and sightseeing attractions for every member of the family to enjoy on a nightly basis. PINBALL HALL OF FAME Located in the heart of Las Vegas is the Pinball Hall of Fame. The 25,000 square foot facility offers the entire family a place to enjoy pinball and arcade games from nearly every decade. All machines are available for play, so not only can you see them, but you can also actually play your old favorites. “We have 400 pinball machines, video games, classic arcade games, and

stuff you’re never going to see anywhere else,” said TimArnold, Pinball Hall of Fame Owner. “This is not one of those looking museums, it’s a play museum for everyone to enjoy.” All older pinball machines are set to 25 cents per play, and newer 1990s models are set to 50 cents per play. The Hall of Fame got its start because they wanted to share their love of these games with the rest of the world. “We’re a bunch of pinball collectors that got together and thought ‘why do we have all these games and no one to play them’,” Arnold said. “So, we decided to start up the Pinball Hall of Fame and ever since then it has taken off. We love seeing other people enjoy games of the past.” The Hall of Fame is free and open to the public from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (PT).
