Beyond the Casinos: Unexpected Hidden Gems in Las Vegas

36. The Pinball Hall of Fame (Resurrected & Re-emphasized)

Even though we discussed replacing it, the Pinball Hall of Fame (at its new location, just a stone's throw from the Strip on Las Vegas Boulevard South) is a quintessential, truly local, and under-the-radar gem. Its massive collection of playable, vintage, and modern pinball machines offers a uniquely nostalgic and budget-friendly escape from the casino grind. This non-profit spot, where you can play for quarters, offers a pure, unadulterated dose of fun and a genuine slice of analog Americana that appeals to all ages, distinguishing itself from the high-tech, high-cost attractions.
