Yeah the guy who runs these machines really is on top of it. They ALL play perfect, play fast, and look amazing. He even mods them with Differrnt color LED's here and there, color changing speaker kits, undercab lighting, toppers, super bands, pinblade graffix they just all are very nice. It's crazy though because EVERY time I come here no matter what time of day I seem to be the only person playing them. Lots of people stop and look at them for a few seconds but that's it. I also LOVE that you are issued a card and you just swipe it like a credit card in the green glowing things on the front. You put credits on your card at an automated station. It's cool cause it tells you your cards history and which games you have played, how many times and when. No coins or dollar bills to fiddle with between games. Just swipe and go haha.
Quoted from ercvacation:Looks like Mustang replaced Woz. I was there a couple weeks ago and Mustang wasn't there.
No Mustang has been here for awhile now. Ghostbusters replaced WOZ. I live here....I come here quite often
Quoted from ExtremePinball:Flipper fidelity. Had to use anti-rattle tape on the edges of the glass cause it pounds something crazy.
Awesome thanks!! Just might have to order some now!
Quoted from Eskaybee:Funny quick story. I have a co worker who does training for our clients and visits Vegas often. He knows I'm a pinball guy and text me pics of him playing at NYNY every so often. He's absolutely in love with the metallica! So much he wants to buy one (it would be his first pin). A future pinhead hopefully because of this Metallica. I told him I'd keep a lookout on the local market for one (pro).
Thats what made me order mine!!! Ive always heard its such an awesome game but when I actually got to play it at NYNY I HAD to HAVE ONE!! Its AMAZING and I love Metallicas music also. Luckily my wife was with me playing the pins that night and she saw how much I was enjoying MET (she liked it too) so it only took a day of pestering her and telling her this is prolly the last run of NIB MET's for some time. Then I got the "approval" to order one from my local Stern guy lololol. Its prolly arriving this week I've been told!!! Cant wait
Quoted from Eskaybee:Awesome congrats! Good news for you, bad news for NYNY! hahaha I only kid
Oh I'll still go there to play Walking Dead and Star Trek! haha Im actually starting to like TWD a little more each time I play it. I hated it at first.
Quoted from Duff:This. I'm in Vegas 2 to 3 times a year and have never played here. How do you find it from inside the hotel? Putting 20 bucks in one machine will give me more entertainment than a slot.
Its just upstairs in the arcade right by the rollercoaster entrance.
Quoted from SilverBallz:What are you going to do when MGM properties starts charging for parking?
Parking fees started today but its FREE for the first hour. So just be done in an hour or go move your truck and grab another ticket lol. But its also still FREE for NV residents until Dec 29th 2016. So there are a couple options still haha
Quoted from Reality_Studio:Actually Mustang replaced WOZ. I was just there in late may, I took these pics on May 27, Woz was right next to the GB I was playing. When I was there the top flipper on Star Trek wasn't working, but it was fixed the next day I went back. So they are definitely on top of issues there, all the games were clean and in great condition.
I think mustang must get rotated around a bunch cause here it is in the lineup from Sept 2015
Quoted from ExtremePinball:Mustang didn't really earn much while it was there from June 2015 - May 2016, a month less than a full year. I pulled it when GB was ready. Right now I use it as a filler when/if another game goes down (WOZ), rather than leave a hole in the line up. My box truck is at the dealer for an A/C repair, otherwise WOZ would have been back in on Sunday.
Ahhhh gotcha!! Good to hear that WOZ is coming back cause it played great!! I definitely want to get some more time in on this one. And I'm not surprised at all that Mustang is the lowest earner in your lineup. When me and my buddies go there Mustang is the only one we dont play
Quoted from weaselfest:Had to return to NYNY for another night of pins. Placed was packed, actually had people waiting in line to play Ghostbusters and Kiss.
Everything was playing fast, machines were immaculate.
You are really cheating yourself if you don't check this place out when in Vegas.
Thats awesome! I went back the other night also with my wife and one of my pinball buddies and we were doing 3 player action on Metallica and Ghostbusters! Sooo fun. Place was pretty packed that night as well. Free parking for NV residents till Dec 29th sooo take advantage Las Vegans!!
Quoted from Eskaybee:I haven't been out in about a month, but is NYNY pay to park now? What about excalibur?
I usually park in excalibur and walk to NYNY.
Yes unfortunatly all MGM owned casinos are now pay to park. Free for NV residents until December 29th. It's also free for the first hour for anyone then it's either 5$ or 7$ depending on the casino for the first four hours I think? Then it goes up to the next pay bracket once it gets past four hours. Unfortunately MGM owns Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Excalibur, New York New York, Monte Carlo, Aria, MGM and many others. I suspect it's their way of paying for that new T- Mobile arena they just finished building right behind Monte Carlo. Once it is no longer free for NV residents I will be parking at a non MGM owned casino and walking over. But for now it's still free for me cause I'm an NV resident.
Quoted from VegasAlleycat:Unfortunately, I am guessing Caesars and other casino properties will follow MGM's lead soon enough.
I really gotta go check out the pins at NYNY soon. Sounds like a fantastic alternative to the PHOF to mix it up a bit!
I agree. Once the Caesars owned properties see how much money MGM is making it will soon follow. I foresee the whole free parking thing in Las vegas being a thing of the past. Its like the resort fee when it was introduced. People complain about it as just another way to squeeze money out of you but now people pay it like its nothing. Thats how parking will be soon. Me and my wife like to go play pinball at NYNY or just go eat at a restaurant sometimes but its getting more and more expensive to go to the strip. I really wish locals were exempt from the parking fees at least.
Quoted from ExtremePinball:Shopped & freshly waxed WOZRR is back in at the center of the line up.
Enjoy!
Sweeeet!!! thanks for the update!!
Quoted from Pinzzz:NYNY "Big Apple Arcade" AKA ExtremePinball (Pinside).Has the best kept commercial pinball machines in Las Vegas!.And the machines are all modded out.Who does that!.If you are in Las Vegas and like pinball.This is it folks.
Agreed!!!I ONLY come here now vs PHOF. This place you are GUARANTEED to have a good time on some perfectly playing, beautifully modded quality machines! You can really tell that the operator (Extreme Pinball) truly cares about his machines and the players experience. Me and my pinball buddy (and sometimes my wife) will come to NYNY to grab a slice of pizza and a beer from downstairs and then come play pinball for an hour or two! Some of my favorite things....Pinball, pizza, beer!! lolol
Quoted from Lysurgeon:Is this the GB that had a center post drilled between the flippers? Gee whiz...
I like the center post. Ive only successfully saved a handful of SDTM's with it though. Its still a BRUTAL game even with the center post! I love it. I actually really want a GB PRO now haha
Quoted from Monarca1091:i can see easily this place being a favorite to Vegas tourist ...im definetly going back to play those pins .....Highly recomended place to visit
Its pretty much the only reason I go to the strip anymore!
