PINBALL HALL OF FAME UPDATE |
The long term goal of Tim Arnold's Fun Nights and other fund raising activities has
been to raise sufficient funds to establish a permanent Pinball Museum open
to both locals and tourists in Las Vegas. Tim had envisioned that this would most likely require the purchase of a suitable building. Times have changed and rental costs for property in Vegas have barely moved whilst property prices have rocketed. Tim has reached the conclusion that it is now more appropriate to rent than buy. On 26th October 2005 he signed a lease on a number of stores in a shopping centre at Tropicana Avenue and Pecos (3330 E Tropicana). Once the dividing walls in these shop units, together with bathrooms and other surplus fittings, have been ripped out, he will be installing seven rows of pinball machines, video games and novelty machines. The total space in the new facility will be 4400 square feet and Tim hopes to accommodate over 180 pinball games. The shop units that will form the largest pinball arcade that Las Vegas has ever seen are located adjacent to a theatre and have plenty of on site parking. The new arcade will operate seven days a week from late morning until the theatre turns out, around 11 in the evening. |
