by [Colin Alsheimer](/author/colin) · October 18, 2022 · [Travel](/news/category/travel)

> Las Vegas offers pinball across a nonprofit museum with one of the world's largest collections, barcades near the Strip, and local watering holes scattered throughout the metro.

Las Vegas has pinball for tourists and locals alike. The city's anchor is a nonprofit museum housing one of the largest collections in the country, but machines also turn up in barcades, pool halls, and neighborhood dive bars spread across the valley.

‍

Most options cluster within a 15-minute drive of the Strip. Visitors can walk to the Pinball Hall of Fame from the south end of Las Vegas Boulevard, while locals keep regular league nights running at spots west of downtown and in residential corridors.

Locals looking for league play should check the tournament calendars at Good Timez Billiards and Player 1.
