I'm headed there Sunday, will definitely head over to NYNY since we are staying right behind the MGM.

I went to to check out the pins at NYNY last night and I have to say that they are really, really nice. Played TWD, MET and ST. However, I don't think I'll be going back.
Couple of "you're at a casino" things that bug the crap out of me - card readers instead of taking coins or bills, all games are $1, no 3 games for $2 and the worst part is there is no replay. No winning games? I specifically went to check this out and zone out for a while and ended up just being disappointed. I need to remember this is vegas, it's all about separating you from your money.
TWD played well but I think it has superbands on it so there are a bunch of shots that normally come back to a flipper now go STDM because of the post super bands or whatever, the game looks great but the superbands kill it for me.
MET was great, but I had some good scores - no replay. what is up with that?
I played $20 in 1 hr at NYNY, I played 4 hours for $15 at PHOF
There were some games hurt but overall I had a much better time. Got on the board on Kiss, won games on others. The guys there do work their butts off to keep that place running. I don't know how Tim does it, he looks tired, but he was there working on an EM to get it out on the floor. I made sure that I told him "Thank You" before I left. I don't know how he does it....

When I talked to Tim, he said that he is working on opening an even bigger location next door (3x as big!!!) so he could bring down more of his collection which would be insane - he must have around 500 machines as his house. I'm sure that will be a ways off. I went back for one more visit before we came home on Sunday. Problem machines from my first visit on Thursday were addressed, though some others were now off - ST left flipper was fixed, SS was up and running, AFM was off, HH was up and running.
I exclusively used Uber to get to and from PHOF and was very happy with the price and service- about $10-12 from the strip to PHOF and around $10 back
