I’ve stayed an the Hyatt across the street, it’s a five minute walk. Given the Embassy rooms are at the other end of the building from the exhibition hall it’s probably the same distance to get from room to TPF. I’ve also stayed at an Air BnB a short drive away for about $30/night and that was ok for the price.
If you love pinball you’ll love the show. Vendors of all kinds, pins on free play, fellow pinheads, seminars, likely a swap meet, top players competing in the Stern Pro Circuit event, Multimorphic pins available.
Come to the show and volunteer for a couple hours, it offers yet another perspective on the hobby. Every show can use more people who want to help others have fun.

I think JJ from Game Exhange usually makes some. He’ll ask for a list of pinsiders when TPF gets close.

I like Rodeo Goat but the closest one is 45 minutes from the hotel.

Expect eight hours or so. We're over 200 entrants so far so it's a 24 person finals, 3 games per round.

No. We're aware of CDC guidelines. It's an evolving situation.

You can tell the e-mail is fake, you don’t email yourself.

We’re getting little official government guidance. Ed_in_Texas is the guy to ask but I’d be surprised if he has an answer given the current situation. His contact info is on the website.
