From pinballmuseum.org:
Las Vegas is known for the unusual and offbeat. Places like the Liberace Museum, the Neon Museum, the Clown Factory, The Elvis Museum, the Barry Manilow Store, the Pinball Hall of Fame… Wait a second. The Pinball Hall of Fame? What exactly is that? Or more importantly, why is there a Pinball Hall of Fame?
The Pinball Hall of Fame is an attempt by the members of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club to house and display the worlds 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. Its all pure pinball and a few arcade novelty games from the past. And since its a non-profit, excess revenues go to non-denominational charities.
