Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas. Huge collection, and lots of rare and unique games you'll probably never see anywhere else. You'll be able to play all sorts of rare treats, like Krull and Pinball Circus. When you're pinballed out, go see Penn and Teller or David Copperfield on the strip, or if you want, Death Valley is a 2 hour drive west, and if you've never been, it's honestly a pretty amazing experience, especially if you like sweating.

Sorry you felt that way about it. We went in early November, so heat wasn't too much of an issue, and I don't recall it being cramped at all. The building it's in is huge. To me, it wasn't any more cramped than, say, Allentown Pinfest. You just have to pay per game to play. I think between my fiancé and myself, together we spend $20 total in quarters, and played everything worth playing.

A couple of other honorable mentions:

Seattle has the Seattle Pinball Museum. We had a great time there. Two floors of very well maintained games. We didn't spend much more time in Seattle, so I couldn't tell you other things to do (other than seek out more pinball).

Montreal has North Star Pinball Bar. Small selection of games, but a great beer selection. They actually have the original "D. Gottlieb and Co." sign that was on the factory lit up behind the bar. Great city, lots of places there to sightsee! Just get your Bonjour on!
