This is literally the only reason I want to go to Las Vegas.

As a pinball owner you just filmed what I call a Disneyland trip. Thank you so much for being so different than all the rest of the youtubers that never diversify there road trips. I thank God that you are not one of those for example "Disney attractions" forever youtubers, one can only watch so much of that and with your channel you always mix it up.

You got that right!

Pinball machines still excite me, although I'm 52(I guess I'm still reliving a part of my childhood).In 2017,my mom and I went to Bally's in Las Vegas and I was like a kid in a candy store!May the pinball machine never fade into obscurity.

As a big pinball fan and having 14 machines in my own personal bank , I visit Vegas about 3 times a year and stop by the Pinball Museum and spend a couple of hours and spend a few bucks there rather than the casinos. Much of the money goes to the Salvation Army which is cool .

The inventiveness of these machines are still Amazing and always fun to play!

Im glad you made the trip to pineball mecha on the west. Not to many classic arcades left all being bought up for elite bunkers so sad!!$

Definitely a place on my to visit list now.

At 6:50 the music from the KISS pinball machine plays. That is an iconic machine.

Fun fact, at 8:46, Jacob found what many consider to be the Holy Grail of pinball machines. There are only two fully finished Pinball Circus machines in the world, one being in the Pinball Museum above, and the other is in a private collection.

This really takes me back. I remember the days when, if went to an Arcade it was all pinball, claw machines, and shooting galleries. Not to mention the Mold-O-Romas, they used to be everywhere, and I scooped ever one I could get my grubby little hands on. I'm sending a great big virtual hug to you Jacob.

I love pinball machines. I guess it was because not allowed to play them as a child. I would always stand and watch others play when Dad took me into the shop with him. Sometimes I would sneek in and play a game . I especially love the older games and how inventive they were, like your baseball one. They are very cool. Thanks loved the video. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤

That was really awesome! Glad to see places preserve machines like this

Just absolutely fawking incredibly fun looking...🤗 I'd love to spend a day having fun with these magnificent old machines...💯✔

I went there about 5 years ago while in town for business. I love this place. I mostly played pinball. Thank you for hitting all of the really old classics The guy that owns it sits in the back in the shop area.

So glad you went to the PHOF! We went on our honeymoon and it was one of my favorite parts of Vegas. A few years after going we went from 0 pins to 9! It was inspiring for sure! Can't wait to go back when the new place opens on the strip!

Great place I love to visit every time I go to Las Vegas. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the memories - my childhood involved playing most of the machines from 1960 to 1980.

One of the best places in Vegas! Another great video from the Capetbagger!

That place looks epic. If I lived close to Vegas I would visit that attraction all the time. I wish arcades where still popular.

Cool place, CB! I've always favored pinball over video games. Nearby in Alameda, there's a pinball museum where u can play all day for a fixed price - this includes many of the vintage games. They also display around the museum a varied collection of old clocks, lamps, fans, & jukeboxes, all running/playing at the same time as the pinball machines - quite the cacophony.

From my experience, I think all the locals know of and visit this place, regularly. Good thing, too. As they never seem to do much for promotions. (As far as I can tell.) When I originally sought this place out, it was off some 'Gotta see this' web site chatter that led to an old, abandoned building. Which held a clue that led to a clue that wound up here. As if they don't want the tourism.

@VegasInsight

they may not "promote" the HOF, but they get tons of tourists visiting, and it's not a secret. and they're not moving to the strip later this year because they don't want the tourism.

I have heard that the owner is an incredibly good guy. Apparently people come from all over to stay in Vegas and learn how to fix pinball machines from him. I definitely hope to visit some day!

Thank you SO MUCH for highlighting this fantastic place! After I moved to Vegas from Milwaukee in 1998, I discovered the PHOF at their original location (farther East on Tropicana). They then moved to the current location. Although COVID hit them hard with the restrictions, they'll be moving soon to their new location on S. Las Vegas Blvd...way more space, way more games! Las Vegas has so little history, always changing. I'm so happy to see PHOL preserving simpler times.

They also have 2 Extremely rare machines you can play, if they are working. A Stand-up version and Going Nuts (Only 5 working prototypes were ever made).

The pinball machine museum. I got to see one of these from nightmare on elm street. And I heard freddy say I'll break your fingers next time! To some kid . Scared the crap outta me.

Regarding the 'Permit' card, they were manufactured by the 'Exhibit Supply Company' circa 1941, and were dispensed from arcade machines (just like the 'future husband' cards).

Me and my aunt went here back in August. They had moved the location from Tropicana to up on the Strip. Its down from the welcome to Vegas sign now/by Harley Davidson's. Its a really cool place and I enjoyed it a lot.

I haven't played pinball since last March! Looking forward to getting back out there again. Neat games, thanks for the video!

This looks like a bucket list destination! Probably will go once this whole thing blows over

I wanted to go to the Pinball Hall of Fame during my Vegas stay but ran out of time. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for taking me where I did not know I could go.

MOLD-O-RAMA (and Mold-O-Matic)! I LOVED those when I was a kid, and I haven't seen one since...I used to get my wax souvenirs from the zoo. That was the only place that I knew had them, but I now know that wax souvenir machines are alive and well all over the country! I'm so pleased that Mold-O-Rama and Mold-O-Matic machines continue to be popular and appreciated! THANK YOU, JACOB, for showing me that! Love from Eagle Rock, CA!

Glad you got to cover this on your trip, one of my favorite places in Vegas.

Going to Vegas in January 2022 mainly to visit Bagan's Haunted Museum but found Carpetbagger and this video while doing research for the trip. Fan now. Wife bought me a Carpetbagger t-shirt for an early birthday present. Plan on wearing when we go play pinball. Rediscovered my passion for pinball when I turned 50. Got a Lost World pinball machine when I turned 13 and played it all through my teens. My favorite pinball machines that I found locally are Led Zeppelin, ACDC, and Aerosmith... some of my favorite bands as well. Keep up the good work Carpetbagger.

i played a lot of these pinball machines in the early 1980s at the arcades.growing up . most fun i ever had

This place is legendary. The building is so unassuming, too. They need to market themselves better. But the magic that exists inside is something anyone who ever enjoyed a video game of any kind needs to experience for themselves. Also some really cheap and good eats over on that side of town!

Very cool place. Went to Vegas three years ago, but didn’t have time to go. It reminds me of Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham N.H. .Unfortunately it closed 4 years ago.

I visited this place many times prior from when it was near the movie theaters {think it was called Tropicana Theaters/movies }it was cool because you go watch some really cheap movies then head out the door and go over to the pinball hall of fame. Haven't been there since they moved up the street on Tropicana which from the looks of it to be a bit smaller but still some real cool pinball games old and new

I visited here at the beginning of March. Had fun with that exact same Little Slugger Game. I just heard that they are moving to a larger location on the strip.

Regarding the 'Your Future Husband' cards in the vending machine: They were actually fortune-telling cards that were dispensed by fortune-telling arcade machines from the Kennywood amusement park circa the 1940-50s (and probably other similar parks that had those cheesy fortune machines).
