I am thinking maybe someday I'd like to pay to get either of these two games and I plan to try both of them at the PHOF next time I'm in Las Vegas.

Both titles are very desirable in their own way and it may come down to which theme I like better. Being in the west, I like the western theme of El Dorado but Atlantis has a very cool theme and I'm hearing that the gameplay is better.

Which one would you get?

The Gold Strike playfield and plastics seem almost exactly the same except for the "WOW" in the middle and for that reason I like El Dorado's wagon wheel with cactus in the middle.

It may be just me but I also like the artwork in El Dorado's backglass better. The 1-10 numbers in circles across bottom of Gold Strike's backglass seem to cover up the beautiful western artwork. They could have designed that part better.

Is it more fun to play a Gold Strike than El Dorado? (I do have a particular liking for AABs)

There's been a lot of love for Atlantis lately. I see that it has the same playfield layout as Lawman.

PHOF doesn't seem to have either game in their list. http://www.pinballmuseum.org/games.php
