Went to the pinball hall of fame is there any other good arcades

Went to the pinball hall of fame yesterday and its as cool as everyone said stayed a couple hours playing pins. Is there any other arcades in Vegas that's worth stopping in.
Thanks Tony
 
Seems like only half the machines are working in Circus Circus. Really a sad shadow of what it once was. There was supposed to be a pinball HOF "annex" at the Riviera I never checked out. I think the Flamingo has a decent one. I heard NYNY, Excalibur and the Gameworks were good.
 
Insert Coins has an awesome selection of games now. I went during opening weekend and they did not have many games, some work broken, etc, but they have really turned around and are pretty sweet now. They are up on East Fremont Street.

There is also GameWorks on the strip which is pretty awesome (look for the massive Neon Coke bottle, it is there).

There are others, but the main 3 I go to is Pinball Hall of Fame, Insert Coins, and GameWorks.
 
Oh yeah!, totally forgot about Insert Coin(s). The surrounding area is a little shady, but the classic lineup there is pretty nice. The pins sucked (title-wise) last time I was there.

I was there 2 weeks ago, and yeah, their pins did not improve, but then again, if you want pins, a place like Insert Coins is not the place in Vegas to go. That is where Pinball Hall of Fame comes into play (which odd enough, I was also at 2 weeks ago and got to play the new Tron there, which is badass)
 
As others have said, POF, Riviera and Insert Coins are the places to go. Most of the casino arcades suck. Circus Circus is the best and biggest of the bunch, but the pins there are in abysmal condition.

As I recall, Gameworks Vegas has an all you can play deal for $30 or so, which is not bad, especially if you have some hours to kill. That's good to have if you are trying to play all the way through games like House of Dead series or other shooters, or racing games. The pins there usually have issues and there are not many. But you probably have a Gameworks wherever you live, so going to Vegas to spend hours there might not be the best way to spend your limited time.
 
Damn, Tony I'm always up for Vegas trip! One of my favorite cities. As others have mentioned, PHOF, Game works, Rivera, CC.

Wait...
PHOF has a metric SHIT-TON of pinball machines that are maintained quite well, what else do you need?
Its the ONLY reason to go to vegas in my book...
 
Just got back from Vegas. Me, the wife and the 23 yo son went. Went to the Pinball Hall of Fame and I said I just want to peak inside, we stayed for about an 1hr or so. My kid really like some of the old mechanical games. He played some space probe thing that you had to use just 2 levers to apply speed and height. Weird game. We also had fun playing the 2 player pinball game, 1 of only 100 or so made. Ended the stay by playing about 7 games of Cyclone on 2 quarters. Fun times.
