Me and my wife and two of our friends are heading to Vegas in August. I had hoped the trip would line up with CGE, but that is in September this year, so I am going to miss it. I believe it was Scott who told me on the RGR Facebook page that part of the Pinball Museum will already be at a hotel or somesuch by the time I am there. What else is there to do, videogame/pinball wise in Vegas.
Some perspective:
I live in the Canadian province of Newfoundland, population 500,000. I have to take a plane or ferry to get to anywhere else in North America, so I don't often get very far. We have a handful of used game stores here, with largely predictable, common games. We have, I believe, one arcade in the entire province. Thus, pretty much any good used game store, any place to play pinball, anything at all in Vegas is likely going to seem much more cool to me than it does to most of you.
We won't have a rental car for much of the trip, and the days we do we are going on tourist type things. So, anything on or near the strip (we're just off it whatever that means), or easily reachable by bus or taxi would be great. My friends will be able to get to anywhere there, because they visit every year, (one of them has made a living as an online poker player in the past, and basically considers Vegas his mecca), so they have a good handle on the place, even if I don't. Also, they have a timeshare thing, so I'm only spending $30 a night to help them cover accomodations, so money won't be tight.
So there you go. Plan me a trip.
