Picture by Kolohe
The Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas is hard to miss because in addition to a sign on Las Vegas Boulevard, giant "Pinball" letters are painted on the outside of the 28,000 square-foot-warehouse building.

This is a hands-on museum of playable machines. The museum is sponsored by the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club and features about 700 different pinball machines, arcade games, and novelty machines, past and present. The Club is a nonprofit venture that is staffed by volunteers and all profits are donated to the Salvation Army. Donations of old machines to the museum are accepted.

Many of the machines have movie and television themes, with James Bond and Star Wars machines being the most popular. Unfortunately, there were so many people around the Star Wars machines, I could not get close enough to most of the machines in order to take pictures.
